Doggy Day Care • Sep 26, 2025

Richard was the perfect sitter for my little boy. The backyard setup is perfect for playtime, and his dogs are lovely. I’ve never put Kai in daycare before, but Richard was an amazing host. We felt at ease from the start, and he sent me pictures throughout the day to show how much fun and well looked after Kai was. I couldn’t have asked for a better first sit. Highly recommended!

Richard has an amazing space for the dogs to feel loved and cared for and at home. He provides updates and stories of how the dogs are enjoying their stay. My dogs loved him from the minute they walked it. I’m so grateful.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 08, 2025

My FatBoy enjoyed his care with Richard. He has a nice yard and home for the furbabies. He sent me updates and photos. His furbabies were friendly with my baby. I would recommend Richard and I will book with him again as needed. Thank you.

I couldn't be more thrilled with the care Richard provided for my dog Bella, while I was away for the holidays! From the moment I met Richard, I could tell he was an animal lover with a genuine passion for taking care of dogs. Bella instantly warmed up to him, and I felt completely at ease knowing she was in such capable hands. Richard went above and beyond, sending regular updates and adorable photos, which truly put my mind at rest. Bella looked so happy and well cared for when I returned. I’m so grateful for Richard’s dedication and kindness. he made sure Bella had a wonderful time while I was away. I highly recommend Richard to anyone in need of a dog sitter!

Schedule

I currently work 4 days a week, M-Thurs 5am to 3pm. I am a home 99% of the time. I love dogs they are everything to me. I currently have two Border Collies Nala & Simba who are my entire life line. Nala is 8 and Simba just turned 5. I am a very loving and caring man for dogs. My home is very clean and organized. I am a single Dad of an 11 year old daughter who is week me on the weekends and would love to help me out with the pups. My back yard is very clean with gravel and fake turf. I have a poop clean up service that comes twice a week so the yard is always clean. Come bring your clan over for some boarding, play dates, or whatever is going to help you get to where you are going without your furbabies and knowing they are being loved, walked, played with, and great company.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge fenced in backyard, I also have 2 amazing border collies to keep them company. Will crate if needed, I have a park that's 2 blocks away I will take my dogs to go play ball everyday. They are both crate trained and leash trained. I have had both of them since they were puppies and they are very smart and obedient. They know over 10 tricks and even know some sign language. Ive trained them all on my own. They are great with other dogs, and I have a doggy door for the furbabies to to in and out whenever they need too. If they don't know how to use a doggydoor I can just let them out the back door. Come take a tour I promise you my house is very cozy. Look forward to hearing from you all.

Pets

A typical day

We will go on walks throughout the day to the park that is near my house, play fetch if they like too. I also have a huge backyard where the dogs can fun and break the energy. Often times I tend to take my dogs to the dog park as well. So, if your dog does not do well at dog parks just let me know and I will keep them at my house.
