About Richard

Hey there and thanks for reading! I have raised 3 dogs for 24 years of my life, including a Chocolate Lab, a smaller Boxer/Beagle Mix, and a 100lb Rottweiler mix. I love dogs, large and small, from Chihuahuas to Tibetan Mastiffs! My promise is to treat your dogs exactly like my own. I recently founded my own dog care business: The Dog Godfather: Complete Canine Care. I created it in November 2024 and (knock on wood) have been busy since opening! I have taken care of German Shepherds, a Tibetan Mastiff, 3 different boxer mixes, a Labradoodle, 2 French Bulldogs, a Border Collie mix, 5 different Golden Lab mixes, a Cocker Spaniel, and much more! I currently offer dog/house sitting services, doggy day care and drop-in visits, obedience classes, and in some cases, dog walking services. Reviews of my work are available on Rover. com (Under the profile Richard S.) and on my Facebook Business Page. If you have any questions, please ask! Have a wonderful day and Roll Tide!

Rich is an amazing dog sitter who is both compassionate and accommodating. He communicates exceptionally well, asking thoughtful questions and taking detailed notes to ensure the best care for my dog. We connected through Facebook and then scheduled an in-person visit to confirm that Molly would be a good fit. During the visit, he showed me the backyard, explained that Molly was welcome throughout the house, and made me feel completely at ease about leaving her in his care. Rich provided regular updates, including pictures, videos, and text messages, which I truly appreciated. He’s easy to talk to and adaptable, willing to adjust the frequency of updates based on your preferences. His fenced-in yard is secure and spacious—perfect for my outdoor-loving dog. He was also flexible and helped find solutions that worked for both Molly and me for a one month stay. It was clear that Molly was happy and well-loved during her one-month stay with Rich. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
