The Dog Godfather

Pet care experience

I’ve raised mutts and purebreds since I was 10. All of my dogs have been quiet, well-behaved, and obeyed basic commands. I’m breed versatile and able to work with small, medium, and large dogs. Se habla español también! Note: Rates a bit negotiable! Book now! They won’t stay this low forever 🐾

Richard was absolutely the best! He helped me with a very short notice. Super friendly and professional, Gara loved him since she saw him. He sent me videos and photos when I asked for her and even without asking. I will definitely book again in the future.

My fiancé & I had a wonderful experience with Rich! He was incredibly communicative throughout the entire process, keeping us updated on KoKo & Kane’s well-being. Not only did he regularly check in, but he also sent photos & videos of Kane & KoKo which made us feel so much more at ease while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cares about animals, and I could tell our pups were in great hands. Highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Rich took great care of Millie. I could tell he has experience with dogs and I enjoyed all the photos and videos I got over the weekend!

I've known Rich for over 20 years. He has been a dog owner for 23 years of his life. He has raised 3 awesome puppers and I had the pleasure of meeting one of them. Carmen was such a sweet girl and very well behaved. All thanks to her stellar dog dad. You should definitely consider Rich to take care of your pup. He's a stand up guy and fantastic with dogs.
