Ratings and reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Richard. We have been sending Margo to daycare with him for almost a year every Wednesday and she absolutely loves it! It is obvious how much he cares about dogs when I see how excited she is at arrival. It is nice to be able to send Margo to place to play with her friends where I can trust she is well taken care of.
Richard was great about sending pictures and updates, and our dog seemed to have fun following the big dogs around!
Great, great sitters!! So happy we found them.
Richard and his wife are so loving and take such good care of Bella!
We adopted an anxious dog 10 months ago and have never left him with anyone before today. Richard and his wife were so kind and accommodating! Very highly recommend this sitter!
Love all the updates Richard sends regularly and Oakley always has a good time over there and gets a good report back.

Schedule
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. Normal care hours are from 8am-6pm. If you need pickup / drop off for care provided outside of those hours, there will be an additional charge for extended operating hours. Please also note there is a 3 day minimum for all major holiday bookings. All stays include photo and video updates, treats from 3 Dogs Bakery, daily daycare & fetch sessions, and nightly couch & lounger time in the living room. Holiday visits include a special craft made by your pup and special photo sessions. We look forward to hosting our new furry friend!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Around our home we refer to our dog as King Bruce because he 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 with a 6 ft privacy fence. Bruce and Norm 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!
Pets
A typical day
Each morning after we wake up, we let Bruce, Norman, & the host dogs out in the backyard to potty & take in the morning air. Once we return inside - we typically feed the dogs 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, living room couch, 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 the dogs if they got messy. Then everyone has 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 and Norm prefers to be with us a majority of the day.)
