Pet care experience
Full time dog(and cat)-dad
I grew up with a stupidly friendly Rottweiler, and plenty cats. While my family didn't get another dog after Anushka, we did rescue many stray cats, giving them the kind of life their domestic counterparts would have been jealous of. After years of living in rental properties, it was only upon buying our own house that we got the chance to get pets. We picked up sibling kittens, Billie and Weegie, from Glasgow soon after moving in. Then came Cooper, the single most handsome chocolate Labrador in the whole world, and Yakul, a Red Setter with no shortage of character. We raised and trained both dogs, with help from a local professional, to a respectable standard. Neither is going to win Crufts anytime soon, but they have decent recall. It's a bit of a bureaucratic inconvenience, but I tend to go by my middle name, Richard. Rest assured, the Konrad in my profile and the Richard in my testimonies/reviews are the same person, Konrad Richard Taeuber.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a reasonably small-medium sized garden with plenty of green space to explore. It's more of a racetrack than circuit, but it's a zoomie-friendly space. Walls and fences separate our garden from neighbours. The fence could be jumped by a particularly leggy dog, but we haven't had any issues yet.
Ratings and reviews
Excellent from Konrad again . Always keeps me informed on when he’s arriving . Very helpful . My dog had only been walked by myself so this is a new experience for her having someone else walk her and I trust Konrad to be able to cope with my puppy and her pulling etc .
Absolutely brilliant once again . My first experience with a dog walker for my puppy and couldn’t be happier . Would highly recommend Konrad .
Excellent , very happy with my first experience of Konrad . Will be booking him again .
Konrad was brilliant with Hamish. Turned up on time and took him on a brilliant adventure. He came back happy, relaxed and adventured out. Konrad stayed in touch throughout and gave me great update on Hamish.
Rick has looked after both my dogs and has two brilliant trained and well behaved dogs that are a testimony to the great dog dad he is. He will take care of your home and pets alike. He is super fun, playful and loving.
I’ve known Ricky for a couple of years now and would happily recommend him as a pet sitter. He loves animals and you can tell he genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Between him and the dogs, it’s often hard to tell who had more fun! He’s looked after my dogs a handful of times, both for a few hours and overnight, and is reliable and communicative, sending updates and photos. One of my dogs also has a hypoallergenic diet, and he’s been careful with her food. My dogs are always excited to see him and have a great time playing with his pups too. They come back happy, well exercised, and clearly well looked after. Highly recommended.

Schedule
I work from home several days a week. While the 2 cats come and go as they please, the 2 dogs, Yakul and Cooper, are my co-workers. I generally take the doggos for a walk in the afternoon, and then again in the evening.
