Highlights
Pet care experience
Big shaded yard for a fun stay!
I have owned and loved dogs my entire life. I have great experience in caring for and training dogs. I trained my late dog, Nova, from a puppy to be crate trained, walking on and off leash, and even to do acrobatic frisbee tricks. And as she aged, I was very caring for her elderly needs.
Cat care experience
Richard also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Only left my large dog (Ace) with Richard for a boarding day, but could tell Ace was comfortable with him. Richard sent photos and had Ace ready for an early pickup. Hope to use him again.
I’ve know Rick now for over a decade as a friend and former neighbor. I’ve always been so taken with how he cares deeply for animals — to chickens he raised and cared for in his own back yard, to his late best furry friend and companion, Nova, a rambunctious and loyal Australian shepherd with whom Rick explored every watering hole and hiking trail in Austin. He is deeply connected to caring for creatures big and small, creating a real human connection to all the animals that are around him. He is trustworthy and kind, with a deep knowledge of animal care (including Guinea pigs! We’ll soon be scheduling him for to take care of our own when on vacation) and I’d highly recommend his services.

Schedule
I am very flexible with my availability to board. Can be gone some night for gathering with friends and family, but typically don't stray too far from home.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in yard with lots of shade, toys to play with, and a spare room for the dogs' safe and comfortable space. Don't worry I make sure they get all the attention they need.
