Rich is the best! He takes great care of my two dogs during the day and is flexible, reliable and communicative. He sends nice photo and video updates each visit. My dogs whimper with excitement the second I pull onto his road, and they sleep the whole drive home, so I know they have a great time!

Rich was a joy to meet and to care for our 2 pups! We loved his daily puppy pics & videos. Our Lucy loved Rich & our big shy guy, Percy, who soon settled in, too. Great experience at the house of Rich and his two fur babies.
