Experienced Dog Walker/Owner/Boarder for SW6 & W6

Pet care experience

I am an experienced dog walker and owner of 15 years. I have a two year-old resident Scottie Dog who loves meeting all the dogs that come to stay and ride with us to Wimbledon and Barnes Commons every day for a minimum 75-minute walk. These walks allow the dogs to run, forage and chase squirrels without the worry of traffic. I also live opposite a park which is convenient for short walks and ball games with smaller dogs who don't want a five-mile hike. The river Thames is 300 metres from my home and so river walks between Putney and Barnes Bridges are easily accessible. I also care for elderly dogs where driving to the park and allowing a 30-minute off lead wander is more appropriate due to aging joints. I am fully insured for daycare and overnight stays and for conveying my maximum of four dogs to the commons and local parks as opppripriate. Personally, I am a fifty-five year-old single man who has spent 30 years working in marketing. Walking and looking after dogs is a whole lot more fulfilling and satifying than reading endless social media performance statistics and constructing pan-European marketing plans, trust me!

Richard took such good care of Wally (3 year old Sproodle). We were sent videos and photos during the week and Wally was clearly well looked after. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone and we will definitely be sending him back :)

Richard looked after Olive so well. He kept me up to date with photos and videos of her and it was obvious she was having a fabulous time staying with him. Will be booking her in again with Richard!
