Pet care experience

🐾 Love dogs, work from home 100%

I work from home 100% of the time which means I will pay extra attention to your precious pup and provide excellent care. Usually the dogs I watch end up cuddled up beside me while I’m working or on the couch. I have a fenced in backyard, and I live close to a great trail system that I will take your dog for walks on, away from cars. I take pet care very seriously, and I will update you with photos and videos so you can feel safe and secure that your dog is good hands while you’re away. I have a lot of experience training puppies and watching dogs young and old. I also have a great deal of experience caring for pregnant dogs. I have a very well-behaved and gentle Pomeranian mix named Oreo that I raised from birth.

Richard was great! He was very proactive in responses and took great care of maple. We would love to book him again. Specially when you are travelling to the states he is right next to Niagara Falls.

Our corgi and cockapoo had another fabulous day with Richard. I'm sure the girls didn't miss us for a second while we were gone. I would definitely book with Richard again.

I am so happy with the care Richard gave our 3 1/2 month old puppy today. We will be leaving later in the month for a prolonged vacation. We normally use a kennel when we go away. I decided to look for someone willing to take on a puppy for the extra attention. Today worked out perfectly. Taffy seemed to have had a good time and I am confident he will enjoy staying with Richard while we are away.

Richard took excellent care of our Corgi and Cockapoo. He managed their dinner and breakfast feedings perfectly (our Corgi has to be fed separately from other dogs). He conforted them during the thunder and rain storm. We will absolutely book with him again.

Richard and his family were absolutely lovely. Lucky was so happy when we picked him up, which made us feel reassured that he had a wonderful time. Thank you so much for accommodating our last-minute request. We truly appreciate it and would happily recommend Richard and his family to others!

My little fur baby was away at doggie camp with Richard who was loving and caring to him. And he also provided those lovely photos to keep you updated. I really appreciated that. 5 stars for Richard and the care he provides!!!
