About Rick

I love dogs and live alone downtown.

Dogs boarded will get a minimum of 3 walks/potty breaks per day(early morning, afternoon and evening). Weather permitting we'll go to any dog parks in the area you'd normally take them to (some people have strict preferences) and in some cases I'd be up for going for a 5-10km run with dogs that are already used to that.

I work in the fitness industry so that gives me a lot of opportunity and time to be at home or outside with your dog. I've boarded lots of different dogs now, and love the company of your furry family. I've posted pictures of the couch and bed as dogs are welcome on both (so long as that's not against your own rules). If you prefer, you can drop off with a dog bed or dog crate(preference is that smaller or younger dogs are crate trained for when I'm not at home, unless you know they'll be on best behaviour even in a new environment).

NOTE: My building has a breed restriction against pitbulls... although I've yet to meet a pittie that I haven't gotten along with, it means I can't take on any pitbulls or overly evident pittie-crosses.

Well once gain Rick saved the day (s)! We are lucky - so lucky - to have him in our lives. You never know what life is gonna throw your way - sometimes it's not pleasant - but having Rick caring for Butter has helped navigate a tough patch.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND HIS CARE! (But don't steal him from us......just saying)

We have elderly dogs that need a little extra TLC, and Rick was wonderful with them. He was very kind and treated them very well. I will use him again!
