Highlights
Pet care experience
Love dogs, enjoy walking.
I have had dogs most of my life and now dog sit for family members. I have a fenced garden and easy access to the South Downs. I am recently retired, with lots of time on my hands, and would enjoy a dog to accompany me on my walks.

Ratings and reviews
Richard is lovely to work with and Padfoot came home very content. Richard is experienced and took care to plan what he was going to do with Padfoot and seemed to genuinely thoroughly enjoy having our pup around which means Padfoot would have loved it too!
The dog seemed very happy after her short stay with Richard - he was also very easy to get in touch with both before and during the stay, was kind enough to send update photos throughout the day, and was flexible when we were running late to pick her up, so very good overall
Richard was absolutely fabulous. As soon as we arrived Lola dashed straight to him, she’s a fantastic judge of character. She was well walked and a very contented dog when we picked her up after her stay. Would recommend Richard to anyone needing their precious pooch looked after. Thank you xxx
Elvis is such a fan of Richard - he loves spending the day together and we feel so confident he's being looked after brilliantly.
After a horrific experience with another sitter from Rover I was quite anxious to leave my girls again but Richard couldn't be better. He is calm and patient and my girls didn't take long to trust him. He kept me updated so I could relax during my time away. I came back to 2 very happy girls. I'm very pleased with Richard, definitely would use him again.
Richard is lovely, friendly and was very kind helping me out at short notice with my dog. Dog happy at pick up etc. thanks again.

Schedule
I am retired, and therefor have a lot of free time to look after dogs and enjoy outdoor activities like going for walks on the Downs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a medium sized fenced garden and a spacious house. I live next to open fields and have access to either long or short walks.
A typical day
There are lots of dog owners in Lewes, we would take the dogs walking around the Lewes Priory ruins and the convent fields nearby, there can be as many as 10 dogs at one time. In my experience all dogs like chasing and fetching balls or sticks. We would also go for walks at the back of the brooks, open fields where it is a bit more overgrown.Or up the South Downs, plenty of space to run around.
