Information Richard G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know your dogs routine and any special needs or preferences- easy and fun to accommodate into our routine. Also any food or feeding instructions and rules regarding treats. Being a healthcare professional I'm confident administrating any mediciation.

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

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cared for them all my life. I’m a mature and reliable professional, now semi retired with plenty of time and lucky enough to live in a beautiful semi rural neighborhood with plenty of open and secure spaces.

Tusen takk for at dere har tatt godt vare på Khan da vi var på reise. Kjekt med bilder og oppdatering underveis.

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!
