Pudlus had a great time with Richard, Buddha and his sons. He was always happy and tired when we picked him up. Richard was also very helpful after Pudlus had some teeth removed and needed daily medication. He will be back!

Vi er kjempefornøyd med Juni sitt opphold. Vi fant en kompetent og hyggelig hundepasser. Vi bestiller svært gjerne opphold hos Richard igjen, dersom det skulle være behov. Satte stor pris på å få oppdatering og bilder underveis.

Richard is a wonderful communicator, and took such good care of my dog. His house is a dog’s paradise, with plenty of room to run around in the yard. I had a hiccup in my pickup time and he was very accommodating. Super kind-highly recommend!

Schedule

I am retired and have plenty of time for dog walks and play time with my dog and the ones I am caring for. I am a healthcare professional so management and administration of any pet medication is not problem.

I have large garden and a large house with wet rooms so I am well set up to care for dogs. Also quiet rooms if needed. I have one dog a 4 year old vizsla who gets on well with other dogs.

Pets

A typical day

My daily routine starts with a walk in the forests or by the coast with lots of smells and nature for the dogs to explore. And there they are with me all day and keep them stimulate with games and rewards. A second walk in the late afternoon followed by cuddles and TV time on the sofa
