Pet care experience

Love for all pets offered here!

I have almost always had dogs in my family! I have helped my daughter walk dogs through her college career, managed a dog kennel and have two sassy shepherds at home. In our house we welcome all dogs; from the tiniest weenie, to the massive mastiffs, to the bellowing beagles, every pooch has a home here! I have a spacious open home for your pet to relax in and a large fully fenced backyard. I have a very flexible schedule and completely understand the stress that comes with having someone else take care of your fuzzy-friend. I am here to take away your worries & your strife! I will make sure your pet has all the best adventures possible! I am also pet first aid and CPR certified!

Boarding • Jan. 03, 2024

Richard boarded my two large dogs at his home for over a month, and what a godsend. After having a terrible experience with a prior sitter, I was on edge about what was going to happen with my dogs while I was away. It didn’t take long before my mind was at ease, and I was confident my pups were in good hands. Richard sent me many pictures, and was easy to stay in contact, and communicate with. My dogs were allowed the opportunity to play, and socialize with other dogs as well. My boy shadow turned 2 while I was away. Richard and his daughter threw him a birthday party. with own homemade cupcakes, party hats, and puppy friends. Richard made sure my guys had their medication when needed, along with lots of fun and love. I think they had more fun there than at home with me!!🤔🤔😊😊 There is absolutely no doubt Richard, and his daughter are the real deal. True animal lovers and excellent caregivers. I’m thankful I found them, I highly recommended them, and they will be my go-too sitters from here on out.!!

Richy is always on time and dependable. My dogs both love him very much. He picks up my dogs and brings them home everyday. A great sitter!

My dog Alpha has always been a bit of a crazy guy. He is very bouncy and excitable, and had to be a solo-dog at other facilities. When I contacted Richy for a two week long boarding stay, he was so kind and patient with Alpha. My dog was able to play with the other dogs while staying at this house. Alpha finally comes home tired!

Richy and his daughter were absolutely fantastic at taking care of my two insanely wild dogs. They handled the rowdiness like it was nothing, and sent me lots of pictures and updates while I was away. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be contacting him again!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my home will be able to learn basic manners, enjoy simple and small play sessions that help your dog in building confidence and exercising their social skills (and their muscles). Pets out of the home I do my best to divide care, socialization, and love as if their own parent was right there with them! Plus, as an avid lover of the great outdoors, I strive to take any furry friends with an activity level similar to mine out into the world. From hikes, to beach trips, I am certainly all about that adventuring-outside lifestyle!

Pets

A typical day

Every day is centered around enjoyment for the canines coming to the house. Every morning my daughter and I drive the dog bus (a Chevy Silverado) around the city and pick up any clients needing picked up. We will often go to the dog park for a while before heading back to the house. I offer a crate less boarding/daycare experience for nearly all of the pups in my care, so lounging on the couch or one of the many dog beds is usually our after-park activity. Generally I try to get the dogs to the park a couple of times throughout the day, or spend individual play time with them in the yard. Of course, throughout the day they will have supervised access to the yard for all potty or zoomie needs!

Please let me know how your dog(s) play with others! It is very important to get a sense of the social roll your pet may or may not take on while staying in my home. Do they enjoy gallivanting with the big kids? Chasing bugs with the small guys? Sitting a cozy, solitary corner with a chew-stick? Anything that you deem important, I want to know!
