I am currently studying for my Bar Course this year. I only have 8 contact hours a week so the rest of the time I am available to work from home and look after and play with any dogs around! I am 6’5” and weigh 110kg so am more than capable of walking the biggest dogs. Despite my size, I also love wrapping up on a sofa and knitting/crocheting with dogs that just want to cuddle!

Walter was well taken care of by Richard and was happy to hang in the sunny backyard all day. We appreciate the companionship for our guy so he didn't have to be home alone all day. Richard was really responsive throughout the process and we will definitely be returning!

Richard was a great sitter, who I couldn’t recommend highly enough, Cheeka absolutely loved having him take care of her for a first time. He clearly loves dogs and knows how to handle large dogs with ease and will definitely be looking to book again

Richard did a great job of looking after Leo whilst we were away on holiday for 10 days. Leo clearly grew attached to him. Richard was highly communicative and kept us updated with photos and left our home spotless. Would definitely use him again.

Richard Calver is very reliable and can be trusted absolutely. He loves dogs and is very good with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Richard for any position of responsibility.
