Richelle is great with our puppy who is sometimes too rambunctious with her more calm dogs. She instinctively knows when it’s best to separate them. Our Sophie loves going to her house!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced yard, but will crate or kennel pets while unsupervised for a very short amount of time. I spend a majority of my time at home with my own pets and hanging out in the yard.

A typical day

Mornings begin with breakfast and then potty time. I work from 8 til 11 at a Kennel just a few miles from home. When I return, 11 am is play time, andnor a walk. Whatever is best for the individual. Most of the days are spent hanging out with me in the house and yard

I tend to prefer animals that are a little more on the easy to handle side, as I am not as young as I used to be! Lol I have a cat in the house, so cat aggressive dogs can not be accepted
