I cannot care for pets in our house currently,but in the future this will change ( we have 2 elderly cats who wouldn't be happy with other pets brought in). Pets in the owners home will be treated in the same way as the owner would!

Information Richard G. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if your dog is friendly with other dogs and happy to travel in a.car Also knowing your pet's energy levels would be useful information!

A typical day

Church farm is set in acre of grounds which is all enclosed, - lots of fun time can be had here chasing balls and smells. We are also surrounded by fields and pastures - a dog and its walker's heaven!

Energetic dogs welcome....sleepy cats too!

Pet care experience

I've been around pets all my life and owned a bearded collie Cross from puppyhood for 15 years. At the same time we have owned cats and currently have two 16 year old "moggies". In the past few years we have boarded and walked dogs for friends,and kept the next door neighbour's cock-a-poo well walked whilst the owners were poorly.She'd never slept so well! I have experience of looking after amphibia,reptiles and insects and am knowledgeable on these creatures too. I will also see you have fresh milk and bread on hand when returning from holiday! I have retired and able to walk your dog(s) twice a day. I can also pop in and feed and talk to your cats,and happy to look after other animals too.....in the winter of9 2021 we nursed 4 young hedgehogs until their release in the spring! Church Farm is totally fenced in and has a large garden,so lots of space outside. There is plenty of space inside but currently boarding pets is not an option

Absolutely fabulous, the girls really enjoyed their time with Richard. The pictures were great to see and the fact that they were happy and not anxious just shows the calm nature and kindness Richard showed them. Thank you 🐶🐶

Could not be happier with Richard. It is so important to know we can go away and leave Molly in such good hands. Richard goes above and beyond, spending time playing with Molly, putting the bins out, watering the garden. Can’t recommend him highly enough
