Pet care experience

Attentive, loving trusted dog care

My wife and I share a love of dogs and have raised many throughout our lives. We will provide a safe and loving environment for your pet. We offer personalized care that meets the needs of your dog, making our home, their home, away from home. We have experience administering medications, caring for senior dogs, taking dogs for walks and have a fenced in yard for active pups. We are recently retired and currently do not have a dog. We have no children living at home, although we have an active home with many dog loving grandchildren that visit and since they all have their own dogs, will love playing with yours.

Richard is a great caregiver for my pets! He is attentive to their needs, and makes sure they are well looked after. I am super lucky to have him as my rover!

I highly recommend Richard! He has had several dogs in his lifetime & truly knows the commitment & the responsibility of having a pet. He has patience & a warm gentle nature with dogs (&people). Richard is patient, dependable, & attentive! His home would provide a safe environment. He also has unwavering support from his wife (also a dog lover) & extended family (many who have dogs!) Dogs in their care would be happy, loved, well cared for & lucky!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog received from Rich and Barb! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love dogs and take their responsibility seriously. They kept me updated with messages and photos of my dog, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog is calm and sweet but nervous around strangers. He came home happy, relaxed, and well loved. It was such a relief! I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitters.

Rich is an kind and caring person. He has had many dogs in his life and could have not done enough for each one of them. He was very attentive to all of his dogs, by taking on walks, playing with them in the yard and simply just hanging out. His dogs always felt safe and protected. I know that he will have a trusting environment where dogs will feel happy, secure and especially loved.
