Pet care experience

Hi my name is Ric, For the last 40 years I have devoted my life to my dogs! I have raised Labrador retrievers and currently raise golden retrievers along with a Dalmatian! Through out the years I have had the honor to open my doors to numerous rescues along the way. I’ve walked many a mile with my dogs and have learned over The years the joy of walking my dogs as well as the importance of being vigil while walking them to insure their safety. I have raised and had dogs in my home from new born to senior and always regarded them as my family. Your fur-baby will be in loving caring hands whether just walking or over night stay to drop in. Drop your furbaby off for the day and play with the girls. I am located in the West End section of the city one block in from Steuben Street five minutes from town!

I have been using Richard for years because he is wonderful with my dog. He is always the first person I request service from because you cannot find a better person to take care of your furry friend.
