Richard was so calm and my dog did so well with him on her first time away from home. He was very responsive and gave me all the updates I requested. It was a positive experience for both me and my dog and will definitely use him again for overnight booking needs.

My dog always got excellent walk. Richard was always good at communicating and was very flexible when something came up and I needed to change times.

Schedule

Hi, I’m Rick! I’m a big guy with a soft spot for pets of all shapes and sizes. I’ve always had a calm, gentle presence, which helps even the most energetic pups feel at ease. I treat every pet as if they’re my own—whether that means extra playtime, slow patient walks, or making sure their routine is followed to a T. Pet parents can count on me for reliable service, kindness, and clear communication. At the end of the day, I’m here to make tails wag and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard with big trees for shade. I have 3 friendly pups from young to Senior. I have a subscription to BarkBox and chewy for plenty of toys and treats. We keep plenty of water bowls in the house and back yard. I have a dog door on the back door for them to go in and out as please. I also have a camera for the back yard to keep close eye on them while there are enjoying the back yard. I have a small crate and a large if needed. I love all pets and want to keep them as safe and happy as I can.
