Pet care experience

**Drop-off & Pick-up Hours: 8AM to 8PM **Must be crate-trained **Fully vaccinated dogs only (Rabies, Distemper (DAPP/DHPP), and bordetella) Hi there! Looking for a warm, welcoming home in a safe neighborhood—with a spacious backyard where your pup can run, play, and be cared for with the utmost love and attention? You’ve found the perfect spot! I’m a lifelong animal lover with well over a decade of experience caring for dogs, and it truly brings me joy to spend my days with furry friends. I currently share my home with the sweetest mini Australian Shepherd, who’s been my sidekick since he was just 6 weeks old. We recently celebrated his 5th birthday, and he’s always excited to welcome new pals to share his toys, enjoy some tasty organic treats, and play the day away. Your pup will be treated with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own—because I know how important it is to feel at ease when your dog is with someone else. I’m also happy to respect and maintain any rules or routines you have in place at home.

Richard was amazing! Charlie stayed with him for three nights, and I was nervous to leave him for so long, but Richard was so communicative and made me feel like I didn’t have to worry! Sent pictures throughout the entire stay, and Charlie seemed to have a great time. Also asked many questions which was great in getting to know Charlie better. Richard also so kindly sent Charlie home a ball and some treats, which he absolutely loved! Will be rebooking whenever needed! Highly recommend!

Richard was fantastic before and during Chloe’s two‑week stay. His communication was clear, timely, and reassuring, and he kept me updated throughout her visit. Chloe seemed to have an amazing time with him — happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. I’d absolutely book with Richard again.

Richard was very professional and reliable. He was responsive, sent tons of photos and updates on how Eve was settling into her new environment, and was patient. His set up is very spacious and clean. My baby girl returned home happy and not in distress for the first time ever (that she's been boarded in 7 years). My husband picked Eve up for me because I became ill and he even noticed her demeanor was much happier. She came home and did not run to her water bowl instantly which she would always do from every other place. She played with us non stop! I love that she was able to interact with other dogs and that they were all good tempered and kind! I will definitely hire Richard again for the entire fall. I would highly recommend him.
