Richard has a wonderful setup for dog sitting, fully fenced backyard that he made sure I knew was definitely gap-proof, which is a big reassurance as I've had escape artist dogs in the past! His two dogs were very friendly and played and hung out really well with my dog. His whole family is great with the dogs and I absolutely will book again if we need to go out of town!

Richard and his family warmly embraced my dog into their household. Despite giving my pup to several individuals on Rover before, none showed the same level of care and affection as Richard and his family did. He is also very flexible and is constantly updating about my dog's stay at his place. I definitely recommend Richard and intend to make him my primary choice moving forward.

Rich was an amazing dog sitter! He was very responsive and sent lots of updates. I really felt like waffles was loved and a part of the family for the weekend. Will definitely be booking again!
