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 is an AMAZING host and takes such good care of our high energy dog. He even sends him home with a couple of cute little treats :)

My Doggies loved staying with Richard. I had a great experience with our Rover sitter! He was very professional, reliable, and clearly cared about my two dogs. They were happy, comfortable, and really seemed to enjoy their time with him. Communication was excellent throughout, and I felt completely at ease knowing my dogs were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog sitter!

Richard is extremely easy to work with. He truly takes amazing care of our dog. We love his video and photo updates while away from her. He is reliable and caring. Our dog is always so happy to go see him when we need his help for a few days. Thank you Richard!

Peace of mind, that’s the best way to describe our experience with Richard! From the visit to the park so he could meet Odee to the drop off and pick up, everything went seamlessly! Communication is a plus, with Richard keeping us updated and sending photos everyday and responding us within minutes. Also, he was the only person we contacted that asked for vaccination records. Our little one was well taken care, and we thank Richard for that!!!
