Dog Dad with fully fenced yard

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover all sizes and breeds since I was a child. I have a very friendly Bernese mountain dog who loves to play with friends of all sizes when go to the broad ripple dog park and host pups at out home!

We are so glad we found Richard and his wife, Elyce! They were super friendly and it was very apparent how much they enjoy having dogs around the house! The pictures they sent each day showed us what a great time our two babes were having--especially playing in their backyard! We would definitely book with them again on future trips! Thank you, Richard & Elyce!!

Excellent, as always!!! Tallulah knows exactly where she’s at when we get to the cross streets and couldn’t be happier. Today she showed off her super speedy skills to her bud Bruce. Richard was sure to send me pictures throughout the day to show me what a good time she was having. I never worry when she is in their care. Thanks for taking such good care of my girl ❤️

Around our home we refer to our dog as King Bruce because he is lives the lifestyle. Your dog will also be royalty when they stay. Whatever your dog needs to be comfortable we can provide. Our backyard is about a quarter acre and fully fenced in. Bruce has a variety of toys to play with - and really enjoys fetch sessions in the backyard with the Chuck-It. Our backyard has lots of birds and squirrels ready to be chased by your furry friend!

A typical day

Each morning after we wake, we let Bruce in the backyard to potty & take in the morning air. Once he returns inside - we typically feed him breakfast & get ready to start our day. During the day, the dogs get to go play in the backyard, do brain puzzles with treats, and rest on our bed options (raised bed, tempurpedic dog bed, and blankets) throughout our home & office. In the evening - if the weather is nice, we typically play fetch with the chuck it and romp around the backyard. After playtime, we will brush out Bruce's coat. Then Bruce has his dinner, and starts to wind down for the night. Before we go to bed, the dogs are let out another time. (If additional potty breaks / outside time is required, we are happy to accommodate. Bruce prefers to be with us a majority of the day.)

I am a teacher at a virtual high school so I am home all day. I am able to provide your pet frequent potty and play breaks, and I am able to accommodate medication and feeding schedules during the day if necessary.
