Richard took such wonderful care of our dog, Blitz, while we were away on vacation. He kept us updated with photos and messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Blitz was happy, comfortable, and getting lots of attention and exercise every day. We loved seeing him outside playing and having such a great time. We’re so grateful for the care Richard gave him and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Dyna and Koda are always excited to see Richard and this booking was no different. Thank you again for being a host that they're always eager to spend a couple days with and taking such good care of them!

My dog had a great time at Richard's. She always enjoys playing with his own dog.

Our two pups continue to have a great time with Richard. He's very responsive to questions and extremely timely with his daily photos of them. We really appreciate you taking such great care of our dogs!
