I am an aspiring entrepreneur with a dog company name Bone & Chain. We specialize in accessories for our little ones. We also promote an active lifestyle for our dogs so fitness is a big part of our brand. Pet sitting for me will not only help raise capital for the company but also be apart of a community that loves their pets as much as I do. My services are available throughout the week and including weekends. If you’re intrested booking a jog for your dog and other services. Please message to book a spot!

Information Richard L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for. A meet and greet would be ideal. Please provide me a brief msg explaining what your dog’s personality is like. I can’t wait to meet your dog!

A typical day

I love to go on jogs with my pets. I run up to a mile just about everyday depending on the dogs fitness level. Playing catch and practice training routines are some of my favorite things to do.

Pet care experience

The ability to connect with animals. Our energy and body language is how we can communicate and understand what the animals are feeling. Whether it’s nurturing or affection. I will take care of your pet. Please check out our special services and ask about our jogs for dogs! I recently moved from Las Vegas. We decided to leave the big city after having a newborn baby. We also do pick up and drop offs if needed. Please Note: Pets must be dewormed within the past 6 months to board. We thrive to inspire a healthy lifestyle and safe environment for our pets and family members.

Richard took on the task of watching our 2 one year old Pitbulls for 4 days. Not an easy commitment to make but we appreciate his help. Our pups seem to have enjoyed their time and are happy to be back home. Thanks Richard!

Richard was great. Communication was clear and easy to get the appointment set up. He arrived on time as scheduled and was friendly and helpful. He was able to assist with giving my two pitbull’s a 30 min. walk and returned them safely. I will be considering Richard as a boarding option for when we leave out of town in the future.

Richard took such great care of my pup, and I can tell she had a really fun time! He is great at what he does and ensures that you’re updated on how your puppy is doing daily. I will definitely be boarding my Bully with Richard again! 😊
