Rich was flat out amazing with our Pitbull mix, Salem. He welcomed her perfectly into a group of canine buddies and Rich’s command over all of the dogs in his care was evident. Rich provided us with daily videos and pics of our girl - playing, chasing, and being goofy! I couldn’t think of another person I’d rather have watching Salem. Fantastic experience!

Rich was great with our dog, Enzo. He sent us videos everyday and was really quick to respond to my messages. We would definitely book with Rich again!

Rich is amazing with my dog. He makes sure my dog is safe, he takes him out for walks and sends photos through the day. My dog looks forwards to his visits. Would highly recommend Rich to anyone.

Truly the dog whisperer. My little pup did fine with the big guys and gals. Rich U. makes sure of that.

Rich was incredibly kind and took great care of our pups. Booking was easy & everything went very well. Our dogs loved his property (lots of outdoor space!) and it was nice for them to get used to being around other dogs. Rich sent us photos of our dogs throughout their stay with him. They looked happy & content. Great experience 😊

Safety, trust & environment

Our goal is to maintain a relaxed, comfortable and safe atmosphere for all involved. Aggressive, domineering, and reactive dogs unwelcome. This is a place of fun and enjoyment. Comfort for my dogs, our guests, and you (their parents) is the objective.

Pets

A typical day

Our guests experience a change in atmosphere regularly during the day. Dogs are encouraged to swim, run, play, and even bark. They can swim with the swans in the pond, sleep under a tree. run and play around, basically...interact. Doggy-door in place most days giving the dogs the freedom to go out and stay in at will. Multiple easy-access water bowls are refilled frequently. Raised feeding stations.
