Hands on care for your pup.

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I can't think of a time where there hasn't been a dog (or 2) in the house. I take a lot of care in making sure any dog I care for feels safe and comfortable. I get that everyone has their own ways of training/disciplining/caring for their pets, I have my own ways but if there are specific ways you'd like your dog taken care of just let me know. Happy to oblige.

Rick took great care of Cosmo while we were away for 2 and a half weeks. He sent us very cute picture and videos they took of him regularly. As always an amazing dog sitter!!!!

Rick took great care of our pup as always :). He is his favorite sitter! Our dog also stayed with Rick overnight for a weekend while we were away in the fall we were amazed to see that he gave Rick kisses when we went to pick him up (our dog is very shy). Overall Rick is a caring, well organized and reliable dog sitter :)!

I have a good sized fenced yard for your dog to keep busy running around or just lay out and catch some rays. I have 2 dogs of my own, that can also keep your pup company. I also have a fairly good sized side yard (former RV parking) that can be used as a dog run if your pup would prefer to be alone for a while. I also have a large crate if your pup would prefer a crate. I'm able to accommodate many scenarios.

Please let me know of any special care items your dog will need. Also if there are any behavioral issues I need to be made aware of. Aggression issues, etc.
