Rick was the best! Never had to wonder how our dog was doing. He sends daily updates and pictures. Was even attentive to a rash our dog had. If we are in need of a dog sitter again, we wouldn’t look anywhere else. Highly recommend!

We needed last minute boarding and Rick was so gracious and kind and took great care of our pup. He shared lots of photos with us and made us feel so comfortable with trusting him. Highly recommend him.

Safety, trust & environment

I can crate your dog, if needed but all dogs are welcome to sleep in my California King bed with me. I take my dogs out on a leash and put them on an outside lead. I have 2 rescues that were runners, so, I am habitual with the leashes. Your dog will remain on their leash and with me. My home has always been open to the dogs owned by family and friends, so my dogs, are extremely socialized.
