TWO SITTERS ARE BETTER THAN ONE!

Pet care experience

* We also offer private care. If you’d rather your pet be the only guest please let us know. * Please note, between the two of us your pet is never left alone at anytime. We both work from home so your pet has constant attention and care 24/7, at no time is your loved one left alone. Most Rover sitters are only one person who may be in and out of the house frequently leaving your pet alone for extended periods of time, often with other unfamiliar animals. If you are boarding more than one pup at a time we have some of the lowest rates on Rover too as we heavily discount your second and third pup :) * Our home has a fenced front yard, a fully enclosed patio area and we have no children or pets of our own. * If this is your first time booking on Rover, please use this $20 off coupon code when you book your first stay with us! Coupon code: RICHAM22136 As life long pet owner's both myself (Richard) and my lovely partner Arial have cared for dogs our whole lives. Combined we have over 30 years of pet care experience specializing in senior dogs. We are located a short 5 miles from Disneyland and only 5 miles from the Huntington Beach pier so we are in a great location!

Our dog Akino had a wonderful time staying with Richard and Arial. We had just adopted him so we were very nervous about being away from him for more than 6 hrs. Richard & Arial updated us with photos every few hours and how he was adjusting. Thank you so much. Would love to be back :)

My usual Rover dog boarder was not available and I was lucky enough to find Richard & Arial. I went for a meet & greet, which worked out fine. Their home was nearby & I found them to be genuine "dog loving people!" During our trip, they kept us up to date on Koda & sent lots of cool pictures. Would I book with them again? Absolutely!

We felt so comfortable leaving our boy, Buddy, with Richard and Arial. They were great about showing me where he would spend his time, what toys he would be playing with, and where he would sleep. Upon meeting then I immediately felt at ease. We will definitely go back to them next time we need a pet sitter.

Our dog was happy to stay with Richard and Ariel. He was never left alone, he hates being alone. We will definitely take him there again.

Have a pet with dietary/medications or other restrictions, we can accommodate! Does your pet have separation issues, not cage/crate friendly or require additional care?
