Pet care experience

Love all dogs, wish I had more!

What sets me apart is the level of personalized care and attention I give every dog. I take the time to understand their routines, personalities, and needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I treat every pup like family, keep communication open with regular updates and photos, and make sure their time with me feels like a vacation, not a separation.

Safety, trust & environment

Any dogs in my care will get a ton of attention and I will learn their nuances. I will stick strictly to any instructions provided to me by the pet's parents and otherwise just make sure they have a good time and don't get into any trouble.

Richard is a thoughtful dog owner and seems to really enjoy being around others' pets too! He always goes out of his way to interact with friends' dogs or cats whenever we're at a social gathering. Highly recommend!

Richard has been a friend of mine for around 18 years now and the entire time I've known him he's been great around all animals as well as his and other pets. His dogs have always been well behaved and friendly and are always a joy to be around. Richard spends a ton of time with his pets, giving them the attention and care they need and often telling us about the games he plays with them or the events they've done. Richard has extremely good communication skills and is often the person in our friend group to keep us informed and up to date.
