Dog's best friend : )

Pet care experience

Dogs bring me joy! Each one is unique. I have an amazing 8 yo dog named Sam, who I adopted in 2017. When I was growing up we always had a few Labradors.

Rick is an animal lover. He is great with dogs of all breeds. He is kind, gentle and patient. I have witnessed this first hand with my own dog. I see how he is with his dog Sam.

Rick is great with animals, having his own lab at 10, big lovable chocolate. Not only did he teach him to sit, stay, walk on a lead, but to fetch, catch things, wait when he walked away and to never jump on people. All done with kindness and consistency. His current dog he adopted as an adult. Rick rehabbed him into being wonderful and playful with all the needed obedience that are needed for a successful dog. His dog comes first and someone else' would have the same loving care.

At home there's a fenced backyard with doggy door. I'm generally home during the workday and can discuss your pet's needs for attention during their stay. If I am sitting in your home, I would need to bring Sam with me; but not for walks and drop-ins.
