Dog Lover - Home Full Time

I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly home with plenty of safe and scenic areas nearby for walks, exercise, and outdoor adventures. I also have friendly dogs of my own who are sweet, social, and have wonderful temperaments. Our dogs have always been cherished members of our family, and I believe every dog deserves to be treated with the same love, patience, and care. When your furry friend stays with me, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship—and most importantly, they’ll be treated just like family. I’d be honored to welcome your pup into our home and give them the loving, comfortable stay they deserve!

I couldn't be more grateful for the care my dog received from Richelle. She was attentive, communicative, and clearly invested in making sure everything went smoothly. I got consistent updates and photos that gave me total peace of mind while I was away. My dog came home relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved. I highly recommend Richelle to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter who treats your pet like their own.

I’ll definitely be using Richelle again. Drake was very relaxed and comfortable when I arrived. He ate, which is always a concern, so he had to feel at home!!!

Whenever I have to be away, I know that Milo is in great, caring hands! Richelle goes above and beyond to make sure Milo feels right at home. From extra long walks to cozy cuddle sessions on the couch, & extra belly rubs, Milo always comes home happy! If you’re looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, I can't recommend Richelle enough, she's wonderful!

Richelle was great! My dog, Sophie, was happy and well cared for during her weekend stay. Richelle was reliable, easy to reach, and genuinely cared about my dog.

Schedule

Working full-time from home, I'm able to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and care. Your pup will never be alone for long and will enjoy a warm, family-oriented environment with lots of interaction, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime. I’m flexible with scheduling and happy to accommodate your dog’s routine and individual needs. Most importantly, I’m committed to making sure every pet in my care feels safe, happy, comfortable, and right at home.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and truly part of the family. Dogs have access to cozy indoor spaces, regular potty breaks, and plenty of playtime throughout the day. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, and any special needs or preferences they may have. Your pet will have plenty of room to relax, play, and explore in a clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment. My goal is to provide loving, attentive care so your pet feels happy, secure, and right at home while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day with your pet begins with a morning potty break, breakfast, and a nice walk around the neighborhood. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy plenty of playtime, cuddles, and opportunities to relax. I will do my best to follow their usual routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and at ease. As evening rolls around, they’ll wind down with more snuggles, dinner, and one last potty break before bedtime. From morning to night, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care so they feel right at home while you’re away.

It’s important for me to learn as much as possible about your pet ahead of time so I can provide the best care and help them feel comfortable during their stay. Please share any details about their: Daily routine and typical schedule Feeding schedule, portions, and treats Allergies or dietary restrictions Medications or special medical needs Behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers Interactions with children and other pets Crate training and comfort with being left alone Anything else that helps them feel safe, happy, and at home The more I know about your pet, the better I can tailor their care to their individual needs and make their stay as comfortable, enjoyable, and stress-free as possible.
