Pet care experience

Trusted Care for Your Pet!

I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and relaxed when they’re away from home, so I focus on creating a calm, comfortable, and warm environment tailored to each dog’s personality and routine. I’m especially patient with shy, anxious, or first-time-away pups, giving them gentle reassurance, consistency, and extra attention to help them settle in. I prioritize communication with pet parents, sharing updates and photos so you always feel connected and at ease. Whether your dog loves playtime, snuggles, or quiet company, I’m committed to making their stay stress-free, happy, and filled with care.

Richard made us feel so comfortable leaving Roxy with him and his family. We received pictures during the day of our Roxy feeling very relaxed and at home!! We are so glad to have found Richard!!

Franklin had a great time at Richard’s house! Franklin is an older dog, very sweet, affectionate, and alert but low-energy, so a home setting was perfect for his disposition and needs. I’ll definitely be taking Franklin to Richard’s home again!

Richard was easy to work with and came through when I needed overnight coverage. We arranged a meet and greet in advance and his communication / updates were great throughout. Wouldn’t hesitate to book him again or refer him to anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter.

Richard took great care of my dog and provided timely updates and pictures which was very much appreciated. Fanny has some separation anxiety but seemed right at home and comfortable with Richard, I would highly recommend!

Schedule

Pet care fits perfectly into my routine because I work from home and can be present with your pup throughout the day. I’m able to step away at any time for walks, potty breaks, play, or cuddles, so pets get consistent attention and companionship — not long stretches alone. I build my day around their needs, making sure they feel supported, relaxed, and loved from morning to night.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced-in yard, giving pups a safe space to explore, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. I stay attentive to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether they need active play, quiet cuddles, or time to settle in at their own pace. My goal is to make their experience relaxed, happy, and as close to home as possible.
