Availability
I’m lucky to have a full-time job that lets me work from home most days, so I can easily fit walks, playtime, and toilet breaks around meetings and tasks. I usually go into the office twice a week, but when I’m out, my wife helps share the duties, so your dog will always have company and attention. My weekends are completely free, so I can dedicate full days to walks, play, and cuddles!

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, loving environment for dogs in my home. I have a fenced garden where dogs can run, play, and explore safely. I make sure they get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I also provide regular toilet breaks and ensure they’re comfortable and happy while you’re away. If I’m caring for dogs at a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines closely to make sure the dog feels safe and at ease.

Information Harry Richard B. would like to know about your pet
Before I meet your dog, it’s helpful to know a few important details so I can provide the best care: Health & medical needs – any medications, allergies, or ongoing treatments. Personality & behaviour – how they interact with other dogs, people, or new environments. Daily routine – feeding times, walk preferences, nap schedules, or favourite toys. Commands - people often use different words for the same command (Off, Down, Floor) Special instructions – anything that makes them feel safe, comfortable, or happy. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make their stay fun, safe, and stress-free.
A typical day
I love spending the day keeping dogs happy, active, and loved. A typical fun day with me usually starts with some outdoor time—whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, a visit to a nearby park, or a game of fetch. I make sure every dog gets plenty of exercise, sniffing time, and opportunities to explore safely. Inside, I enjoy playing interactive games to keep dogs mentally stimulated, such as hide-and-seek with toys or treats, tug-of-war, or puzzle toys that challenge them to get a tasty reward. I also love practicing fun tricks and commands in a positive, encouraging way. Every dog I care for gets plenty of attention, exercise, and love—making sure they’re happy, safe, and feel right at home while I’m looking after them.

Your Dog’s New Best Friend—Walks, Care & Cuddles
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Harry! My wife and I have always loved dogs, but we’re not quite ready for the 10+ year commitment—so I get my furry fix by caring for other people’s instead! I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, especially Border Collies like Bonzo, Skye, Jaeger, and Bruce, and I love keeping pups happy with long walks, playtime, and lots of attention. I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds and ages: Lara, a 2-year-old Alsatian; Coco, an 8-year-old Cockapoo; my sister’s Border Collie Onyx; and even three Yorkshire Terriers—Lucky and Happy, both around 13, and Freddie, who I raised from a puppy. I’ve provided daily walks, play, toilet breaks, and lots of love, whether for short visits, overnight stays, or longer house-sits. I’m happy to host dogs at my home too. While we’re currently renovating, your dog will still enjoy a safe, loving environment and all the care and attention they deserve. I treat every dog like part of my own family, and their happiness is my top priority!
Reviews
Couldn't recommend Harry highly enough. He looked after our puppy Benji for 3 nights, staying at our house whilst we were away. He gave us regular updates, looked after Benji fantastically and left the house in immaculate condition.
Harry and Ellie were great from the first meeting with Ziggy. They kept us updated throughout including lots of pictures and Ziggy looked very settled and content staying with them.
Great house and dog sitters! Left for our wedding and didn’t even think twice about any worries as they had everything covered! Max is super chilled and happy! Thanks and see you soon!
Harry was a godsend - he house sat for our very elderly dog for four days, our dog took to him straight away and seemed super-relaxed in his presence. Harry was reliable and friendly and I would not hesitate to recommend him. Thanks so much Harry!
