Pet care experience
A Dedicated, 1-on-1 Small Dog Stay
Finding a sitter who dedicatedly watches only one small dog at a time is a massive challenge - but that is exactly what we do. Inspired by 14 years with my late Yorkie, Walle, our home is a quiet, pack-free stay where your pup is my one and only priority. You can travel with ease knowing your little one is being watched with the same unconditional care I once gave to Walle. Although my profile lists pups up to 15 lbs, we offer care for guests up to 20 lbs.

Ratings and reviews
Richard and his family were the perfect fit for our dog, Honey! Honey is a 15 year old, small dog who has recently gone deaf. She struggles with other dogs and I was having a hard time finding someone who would only take one dog at a time. Then I found Richard! Honey felt right at home with them. I loved the picture and video updates each night. She returned home happy, healthy and ready to play. Thank you so much for taking care of our sweet old girl!
Richard and his family were just so kind and welcoming at the meet and greet — we instantly felt good about leaving Milo with them! Thank you so much! 🐾❤️
Richard was exceptional from the very start. He sent daily photos and videos throughout, which gave us complete peace of mind and confidence that Milo was in great hands. His entire family was incredibly warm and welcoming, and we will absolutely be booking again.
Richard took phenomenal care of my dog, Bruno, and I could not recommend him more highly. He truly went above and beyond during Bruno’s stay. Bruno has a daily skin care routine and requires medications, and Richard handled everything perfectly. By the time we picked Bruno up, his skin honestly looked better than when we dropped him off. Richard is clearly experienced and confident administering all types of medications, including injections, which gave me a huge sense of relief and comfort. It’s not easy to find someone you fully trust with a dog that has medical needs, but I felt completely comfortable leaving Bruno in his care. We had daily updates which put our minds at ease You can tell Richard genuinely loves dogs. Bruno got constant attention, enjoyed his backyard, and clearly loved spending time with Richard and his family. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bruno was being cared for like part of the family. We will absolutely book with Richard again. Richard is officially our new Rover when we go on vacation.

Schedule
My flexible daily schedule allows for a consistent routine, including three to four walks a day and regular breaks fully dedicated to one-on-one play. Between my availability and other family members in the house, someone is always present to ensure your little one has constant companionship.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I strictly enforce a 20 lb weight limit and a one-client-only policy so your little one never has to compete for space or attention. You can travel with total peace of mind because my family and I are always home, providing constant supervision. To keep you connected, I will send daily photo updates so you can see exactly how happy and comfortable your dog is while you are away.
A typical day
Our morning begins with a walk through our quiet neighborhood, followed by feeding. During the mid-afternoon, we'll do a play session in our large living area or backyard. Evenings are for a final stroll, feeding, more play, and winding down. Before bed, we'll have a final bathroom break before calling it a night.
