Work at home, Lg Yard, Walk/Run Fun

Pet care experience

I work from home and have about an acre with big shady trees, clean house with no pets of my own and yard is mostly fenced in and can easily fence in the rest if I find someone who needs my help with their pets. I care for family and friend's pets for days to weeks at a time and really miss them when they're back with the family. I love to walk the dogs through my quiet older neighborhood and have not had problems with other dogs and there is practically no noise or traffic. I also live about a mile from Stone Mtn Park, less than a mile from Mountain Park Park and love to take the dogs for walks in the parks when they are with me overnight or for days or weeks, it's great for both the dogs and my health; fresh air, sunshine and exercise makes for a richer life for everyone. I am experienced only with family and neighbors/friends and since I enjoy taking care of other's pets when I can, and I miss them when they are gone, I thought this might be great for a loved pet to have attention and exercise that they need when the owner cannot and I can, and I need the exercise and company as well, everyone wins. I did grow up with dogs as a child but then after college and off to work, I've never had another dog except for my family's many loved dogs which I've always had the pleasure to care for when needed. So now that I work from home, and have a nice big space and am close to parks, this may be a great and rewarding endeavour for me to try with maybe just a select few neighbors in need of help with their little buddies. Dogs seem to really like me and I love the beauty, activity and company. My yard is fenced in when I have a guest, sucure and open grassy space.

Richard was great when I needed someone to watch my dog last minute. He was able to work with my schedule on a meet and greet and drop off within 24 hours of my request. It was a great location for dogs to be able to run around outside! I also got a lot of updates and pictures throughout the weekend. Would highly recommend!

Richard is the best dog sitter we have ever used. He went above and beyond and clearly cared for our pup as if she was his own. He even sent her home with a sweet card and treats. So many great photos and videos shared and excellent communication. I don’t think I’ll trust anyone else with pudge. Thank you so much, Richard. We can tell pudge had a great time with you and we appreciate you!

Rich is a godsend - ideal host with a great property/location. He bonded immediately with our German Shepherd, and I can tell from his frequent (daily) photos that they had a great time together. I think my dog was actually sad to leave Rich's house, but it's nice that he can have his own "vacation" while my family takes a needed break (sans dog). Will definitely use Rich's services again in the future.

Richard was not only willing to take my pup with short notice, but communicated throughout the entire stay with updates and pictures. With a delay in my returning flight Richard was also willing to keep him one more night than scheduled. Great experience for all parties!
