5 stars all the way. Richard was communicative at all phases, and was a wonderful help to our pup and family while I was traveling for work. Will definitely be booking Richard for pup care again!

I have had nothing but fantastic experiences with Richard. He is wonderful with my dog and his communication is always top-notch. His background as a dog trainer is a huge bonus. I fully trust him with taking care of my dog. I cannot recommend him enough!

Richard (Jay) was great and my Zoe loved him. He provided a nice picture of Zoe on her walk and gave a nice report card on how she did, which I appreciate. I'm happy to have found him, especially on somewhat short notice! I'll definitely continue to use his services.

There are moments in life when people cross your path and remind you what genuine kindness looks like. For me, that was Jay and Tory. After breaking my ribs, I reached out last minute for help with my three dogs — each with big personalities and boundless energy. They didn’t hesitate for a second. From the moment they arrived, they didn’t just walk my dogs — they gave me something I hadn’t felt in a long time: peace of mind. Between losing my brother, separating from my husband, and having to move, life has felt like one long uphill climb. I’ve been doing my best to hold everything together, and my dogs have been my heart through it all. Knowing they were in loving, capable hands when I couldn’t be there myself… it was a gift I can never repay. Their compassion, patience, and calm presence brought me to tears. Hearing that my senior tripod, Bear, kept up on the walk filled me with joy. I try so hard to keep them happy, and seeing them come back with wagging tails, smiling faces, and calm energy made my heart feel lighter than it has in months. Jay and Tory didn’t just show up for a walk — they showed up for me. In a moment when I felt broken and overwhelmed, they restored a sense of trust, care, and genuine goodness that had been missing from my world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for treating my crew like family and for reminding me that kindness still runs deep.
