Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs since I was young. I am a veteran who worked with military dogs, as well. I recently passed my exam and am a certified dog trainer.
Reviews
Richard truly seems to love dogs (and vice-versa) and being a certified dog trainer, he really knows how to read their body language and know what they want and need. My dog goes to see Richard a few times a week for socialization and play-time with other dogs and she gets very excited as we approach Richard's place. I feel comfortable leaving her there and know that she's having fun while being kept safe. Unlike bigger daycare facilities, Richard limits how many dogs he has per day so that each dog gets plenty of individualized attention. Thank you, Richard!
Ricky has been wonderful with my "lover not a fighter" young dog. He used his dog training skills to great effect to get my timid boy playing and romping with dogs much better than him. The regular pictures he took the time to take and send to me are so thoughtful and help me to relax about his care!
Ricky is absolutely amazing! I was honestly so nervous leaving my pup with someone I didn’t know and he made her and I feel very comfortable. She gets anxious when she’s not around me and she was fine the whole time! He sent pictures to keep me in the loop about her day and he followed all the instructions I gave him. Lola and I will definitely be using him again!
Ricky and his wonderful trio of doggies were great! Lincoln played and bonded with his friendly dogs! We were grateful Ricky agreed to take Lincoln on short notice. He is a dog trainer and obviously loves doggies!! I highly recommend leaving your pup in his care!

Safety, trust & environment
I like to do a lot of training and utilize puzzle toys to keep my dogs mentally and physically stimulated. I have plenty of space in my yard for my dogs to smell, wander, and play. I have a large fenced in yard with a doggy pool on those hot days.
