Safety, trust & environment

I live in a private housing estate. Your pet(s) will have free range of a multi-storey flat with lots of sun and access to outside areas whenever they need. We live right next to a shallow spring, ideal if the need a quick dip to cool off! As an owner of animals, I understand when they need to be walked or simply pop outside to go to the toilet. They’ll have a bowl of water that’s easily accessible at all times and be fed at hours of the day according to your requirements. I’m situated equal distance from both forest areas and the coast, so there will never be a boring walk! (I always provide photo updates of their adventures and stay).

Information Richard C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special requirements such as dietary or medical before or during the handover in order to make sure your pet’s care standards are met.

A typical day

Who doesn’t love an adventurous dog walk? I always try to change up the location of walks as a way to stimulate them, rotating between forest and coastal walks, and preferably away from roads.

Pet care experience

With over 20 years of pet experience, I pride myself on being able to care for animals. You can trust that I’ll provide the right conditions for your animal. Whether their an energetic juvenile that needs attention and play, or an elderly individual that needs a relaxing stay, they’ll be in safe hands and cared for. I tailor each boarding experience to each pet, making it my mission to generate a stress free environment whilst keeping them entertained and comfortable. If you’d like to know a bit more then don’t hesitate to give me a call 😊

Richard was absolutely amazing with Woody (my dog) we cannot thank him enough, made us feel instantly comfortable as we was reassured that Woody would be absolutely fine and he was. We got photos and videos sent daily which was really lovely as we got to see how he was doing, we also got daily updates of what he was doing. Again thank you so much for looking after our boy he absolutely loved staying with you and he can’t wait for another adventure with you soon! 100% would recommend Richard ☺️

Richard was amazing! He met us prior for us to get a sense of how him and our dog would interact. Our dog is a fairly excitable German shepherd. We could tell my his easy going and responsible nature it was going to be a fit. Richard sent us pictures and updated us, it was so nice as this was the first time we used Rover. Our dog was very spoiled with lots of walks and lots of attention! Our train was delayed and Richard was also really kind about the delay. Would definitely recommend and will be using again! Our dog was very settled when it came back which is not the case when we have used kennels before.

200% would recommend Richard. Our little labadour will pull to get to his door as she loves staying with him so much. I get regular pup dates while she stays with him and he will always keep me upto date with what's going on. Again 200% would recommend 😀

Bonnie's stay with Richard couldn’t have gone any better. I booked an 8 night stay, which of course is always going to be daunting for a first time stay with a new dog sitter, but we had a meet and greet prior to Bonnie's stay which went really well and enabled me to explain Bonnie's characteristics and her likes/dislikes. I could tell from the start that Richard was extremely knowledgeable and dedicated to caring for the dogs he looks after and enjoys long walks exploring the local surroundings with new 4 legged companions :) Richard sent videos and photos regularly whilst i was away and I was reassured that Bonnie was getting plenty of walks, just what she loves! I felt really confident leaving Bonnie, which meant i enjoyed my holiday and felt at ease that she was being cared for. I will definitely be booking Bonnie a stay with Richard. Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
