Playful dog friend during stay

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs growing up and love being around them. I’m an active guy so your dog will definitely get enough exercise with me or playing with my well trained black lab. I can follow any regimen (exercise/diet) if your dog has any special needs. If I watch your dog over the weekend, I’ll be home majority of the day if not all of the day and if it leads into the week, my wife is currently part time and works from home so she should be home all day. We do have a young boy (Aug ‘22) and girl (Nov ‘18), so we will have to make sure any dog is good around young kids. My wife and I both love dogs and it will not be starving for attention if he/she stays with us :) They will get plenty of TLC and have a great time for however long they stay.

Richard and Lindsay took great care of my dog Bella. They sent lots of updates and pictures to let me know she was doing well. I would definitely recommend them and trust them to watch my dog again in the future.

Richard was fantastic! My pup loved running around the huge backyard and playing with Richard’s pup. I loved the prompt communication, pictures, and generous flexibility when I had car trouble and couldn’t make it back when we had arranged. I would not hesitate to book him again!

Information Richard A. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. The only requirement is they will have to be friendly with other dogs as we have a black lab hound mix named Rhett.

A typical day

I live in a quiet neighborhood where we can take walks and within walking distance to plenty of trails. Plenty of tennis balls and toys to play with in our backyard.
