We had such an amazing experience with Richard. Leaving our dog behind is always stressful, but he sent the best daily updates and photos that put us completely at ease! Samson was so happy and well looked after the whole time. We will absolutely be booking with Richard again."

We really appreciated Richard and his family for taking such good care of our dog while we were out of town. Richard was very accommodating and easy to communicate with.

Richard took great care of our dog Lily. He sent pictures daily and was quick to reach out with any questions about her care. We could tell from the pictures that he sent that Lily was feeling right at home and she was well cared for. That gave us so much peace of mind while we were away.

Richard did an excellent job of caring for our older dog. He needed medication daily which was given regularly. Sparky enjoyed Richard’s family and pet.
