Richard, Sam and Benji were fantastic — it was like Sep went to summer camp and didn’t want to come home. Their house and yard were perfect. Benji was an active playmate for Sep. They sent lots of pics and kept me informed regularly. They are such great dog people. I was completely comfortable leaving Sep.

Richie and Sam exceeded our expectations. They were caring, attentive and overall amazing during our pups’ stay in their home while we were on vacation. They are great communicators with periodic updates that included pictures and videos of our pups. Richie and Sam went above and beyond by taking our pups on long walks, and even to their local dog park! Their pup Benji, is a superb playmate as well. He is friendly and kept our pups active and entertained during their stay. Needless to say, we will most definitely be contacting Richie and Sam for future stays!

I can’t say enough good things about Richard. He is one of the most loving, caring people I know especially when it comes to animals. Over the years, he has looked after my dog Max multiple times, and honestly, Max absolutely adores him. Every time I come back from a trip, Max is so content and happy, he almost doesn’t want to come home! Richard is incredibly attentive to Max’s needs, always making sure he's comfortable, exercised, and well loved. He keeps in touch while I’m away with thoughtful updates and photos, which brings me so much peace of mind. Knowing Max is in such good hands makes leaving him behind a whole lot easier. He’s reliable, responsive, and just a genuinely kind person. I feel so lucky to have someone like Richard to trust with my sweet boy. I couldn't recommend him more!

Schedule

Every week, I build in plenty of time for dog walks, play sessions, and snuggles. Caring for pups keeps my days fun, active, and full of tail wags.
