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

Richard was prompt, friendly and gave our German Shepherd a good old walk that really tired her out, he took time to talk and understand that our dog was a rescue and very reactive with others. I would recommend.

Richard had been a god send. Arrives every day on time without fail. Sends us updates after every walk, and gives us peace of mind our beautiful boy is in safe hands. Would highly recommend.

I can strongly recommend Richard for dog walking. He's a very nice man and made Lenny, my rescue greyhound a very happy and well exercised boy. Will definitely use him again whenever Lenny needs a reliable walker.

Richard did a great job looking after my three dogs - they enjoyed his walks and settling up on the sofa with him. Richard stayed at our house and you wouldn't have even known he had been there. He looked after everything so well. He kept me up to speed with how everything was going which gave great peace of mind. Would definitely recommend.
