Dog boarding is my full time job
Pet care experience
Hi! I am Richard, and I live close to downtown Seattle. I am a very active retired architect, and I live in an apartment that was carved from an old school house. Your dog and I will enjoy lovely, long strolls through the park adjacent to my home, and it will be a dog's life in my comfortable home. My apartment is on the ground floor, and my door opens to a lobby that has secure doors to the outside. Cozy, convenient, and safe! I am kind, sensitive, and VERY responsible. Since I have no pets of my own, your dog will get my undivided attention. Dogs - in fact, all animals have always been a source of joy and comfort to me. I do administer medication, and I will follow your instructions TO THE LETTER and attend carefully to your dog's physical health. I am home full time and I have undergone advanced screening that culminated in a face-to-face in-home meeting with a home inspection by the local company market representative. The price listed is for a 24 hour stay for a dog weighing up to 44lbs. It would be $32 for a dog weighing 45-94 lbs. and $35 for a dog weighing more than 95 lbs. There will be an additional charge for any stays that extend past the 24 hour stay period. I also offer day care services! Please contact me for details or with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and especially meeting your beloved pup!
Reviews
Richard is kind and it's clear he loves dogs. We didn't have a good experience due to communication issues. While staying with Richard our dog threw up because her care instructions weren't followed. When we arrived he indicated he hadn't read the care instructions in Rover so we provided them verbally and reiterated that all the info was on her Rover profile. He wasn't very responsive via message, and we had trouble getting confirmation from him via phone call that he would follow the instructions after he told us our dog threw up.
Thank you Richard! This was our second time having Richard watch our dog Hazel. He is very very sweet and you can tell he really loves animals. He was very good about giving Hazel her medications. We definitely recommend his services.
My dog came back tired and happy.
Thank you for taking such good of Minnie! She seemed to really enjoy her stay and we appreciate the good care you gave her while we were away.

Information Richard K. would like to know about your pet
My home is wide open to any variety of dog. However, since we will be taking lots of fun walks, I do need to be sure that if your dog is large, that I can handle him on a leash. Other than that, this schoolhouse is "in session!"
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks I am an avid walker myself, even when I don't have a dog staying with me. I will take your dog for as many walks as he would like - I am always game for a brisk stroll through the gorgeous park right across the street. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he dog-gone well wants! Time I'll spend with your dog I am a retired architect, and I am home full time. I will be your dog's pal day and night.
