Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am careful but easy going with pets. I follow details for feeding, hygiene, and medication if needed. I require a meet and greet before providing services, to ensure I can properly handle the needs of your pet, as well as your pet getting along with me -- as you never know who they may like or dislike -- and want to ensure safety and proper care is given. I will record details of feeding, hygiene and medication to ensure I am consistent on their needs.

Richard was always so kind to both of my dogs. He was very attentive and followed my care instructions for my dogs diligently. He understands the need for a routine for dogs and had some experience with my dog who was extremely reactive. 10/10 I trusted him fully to care for my pets while I was at work.

I have never met someone more devoted and loving to their animals as Richard is to his. He always tries to do the best he possibly can for them and it shows with the amount of love and care they display back at him. He's always treated my two cats wonderfully and they adore him as well.

Richard is wonderful with animals. The way he interacts with them, you can tell he cares a LOT for them. He is a wonderful person, extremely reliable, and anyone who would have him watch their pet(s) is extremely lucky!

I require a meet a greet before I accept new clients -- I care about the safety of your pet, house, and myself -- and want to ensure your pet is going to behave well with a new person handling them -- sometimes they can be unpredictable. I require knowledge about aggression, food / toy guarding and other risk behaviors. Depending on the severity this can be too much of a risk to myself and their safety and I want to ensure you are confident they will be in good hands while you trust me to take care of them.
