Ratings and reviews
Richard took great care of Reggie! Sent pictures daily of backyard play time and was easy and quick to communicate with. Would book again!
Great communication and daily updates. Would absolutely trust Richard watching our dog Ryder again!
It was my dogs first time at Richard’s today, and she truly had a great time! Richard was very kind and reassuring to me despite me being nervous and unsure how my dog would do in a new group. He sent me pictures and updates throughout the day. I feel confident that my dog is in good hands. We are looking forward to returning and I’m happy my dog has new friends :)
Vinny always has the best time at Richard’s! Mom and dad love the daily photos.
Thanks Richard for all you do!
Great communication and did a great job with my very elderly little dog!

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.)
