Pet care experience

When you choose me to care for your pet I will treat the good boy or good girl as if it were my own. I have owned dogs my whole life and absolutely love them. My dog Bailey recently passed away after giving me 16 years of unconditional love and friendship. While I'm not yet ready to own another pet i would love to take care of yours! There is nothing in this world more beautiful than a bond between a dog and their owner and you can trust in me to provide care and love for them in your absence. I really enjoy high energy dogs that like to play fetch or just run around and blow off steam. I live very close to the Timber creek dog park which provides a large safe area for your dog to play and interact with other dogs and used to love taking Bailey there a few times a week. If your dog loves going for walks I have no problem walking them anytime of the year, conversely if your dog enjoys to lounge around and stare out the window and get belly rubs and pets all day I am pretty good at that too! Either way your pet will be in good hands!

2nd time that Richard and his wife took care of our shihtzu, and nothing compares to the care and concern they showed our dog. Me and my family always gets daily updates with multiple photos each day. It is very difficult to find someone that you can trust nowadays, but I can definitely say, I consider Richard and his wife as a second family for our dog, when we are away from home and on vacation. I strongly recommend Richard and no doubt ,he can be trusted.

Richard and his wife Cameo watching our puggle Bella for nearly a week proved to be an absolute delight. They were both extremely warm and always gentle with our older and occasionally difficult dog. They both have clearly had extensive experience with older dogs. Richard also communicated with us regularly, sending us daily pix of our pooch and made himself available for her drop-off and pick-up. It was hard getting Bella to leave their house upon pick-up. I can without reservation recommend him extremely highly and am look forward to leaving Bella with him in the future.

My dog stayed with Richard and his wife for a week while my family and me were on vacation. I must say, we are blessed to have met this caring couple. Before I even booked my dog's stay, Richard agreed to adjust their busy schedule to have a meet and greet, which gave me a "good feeling" that my dog will be in good hands. Then, while we were away, they sent me detailed updates plus photos of my dog daily. They went above and beyond to make our family vacation enjoyable while having peace of mind that our dog is doing great. I could not ask for more than the love and care they have shown my dog. I strongly recommend Richard and his wife if you are looking for a family to watch your dog when you are away from home.

Richard has walked my dog when I was unable to leave work at lunchtime. When I met Richard I could tell that he truly cares for dogs. My dog Mason loves when Richard comes to take him out.

A typical day

When you allow me to care for your pet you can trust I will give them the attention and love they deserve. I enjoy playing fetch, and going for run/walks depending on your dogs energy level . If your dog likes car rides (Bailey used to love the car rides around the neighborhood) i have no problem loading them up and cruising around for a few minutes.
