Pet care experience

We are dog people!

We have had dogs for more than 50 years, we miss the companionship of our 2 great Pyrenees that we had for 15 years. We have a fenced in yard and a 1 story house that is well suited for dogs on a rural and wooded property. I enjoy taking dogs for walks too, we have a sports complex close by that gives the dogs a 1 1/2 mile trip.

Richard and Marylou have been caring for pets for more than 40 years. Their home is especially suited for pets with a large fenced yard shaded by trees in a quiet rural area. If they are with a dog for five minutes it is like a part of the family. From the excellent care they provide to the perfect setting for running around and exploring new sniffing spots, you may need treats to get your dog to go home with you.

There’s no one that loves dogs more than Rich Elliott. He’s got a great big yard for them to run around in. His dogs were always groomed and well taken care of. I think he’ll be a great option for dog sitting..

Rich is great with pets! He loves playing and giving lots of love. Rich is always calm, comfortable and loving around any animal, but definitely playful with them when they want too!

The dogs can be outside as long as they want or be inside if that is their preference. Walks would be morning and or evening. We have an extra large dog crate if your dog prefers being in a crate in the evening.
