Safety, trust & environment

Creating a safe, trustworthy, and comfortable environment for pets is my top priority. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise needs, and any behavioral preferences or restrictions. I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level, so I approach each animal with patience and attentiveness. I also believe communication is important, so I make sure owners stay updated with messages and photos while they’re away.

Couple of dog lovers

Pet care experience

This is a joint account with my girlfriend Julia and I. We both love being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I grew up raising a German Shepherd and, more recently, a shitzu and Maltese! Julia grew up raising a Toy poodle. We’re reliable, attentive, and understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident that their pets are in good hands. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, we make sure every pet gets patient, personalized care and plenty of attention. As a medical student, I’m highly responsible, detail-oriented, and calm under pressure, and I bring that same level of care and dependability to looking after pets. We’ll treat your pets like they’re our own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

My dog Bear had a great time staying here! He’s leash reactive and Richard and Julia did a great job of making sure he kept his distance from other dogs during his stay, which I really appreciated. They sent lots of photos & updates which was much appreciated! Bear loved them and would definitely stay there again

Richard and his partner went above and beyond while I used his services. Very communicative and went out of his way to give my pet a great time while I was away. My dog gets anxious very easily but just by the pictures he seems so happy. I appreciate their care and will 100% be requesting their services going forward

Richard is an incredibly caring and responsible dog caregiver. He has two family dogs whom I’ve personally seen him care for with so much patience, love, and attention. He’s also taken great care of my toy poodle. Richard genuinely loves dogs and is very gentle with them. He understands their needs, pays close attention to their behavior, and makes sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I would absolutely trust him with any pet.
