Pet care experience

I love all animals, but dogs take the biscuit

Dogs have been in my family since I was born. As such, I have a knack for being playful yet can apply firm instruction when needed. I have a calm disposition and feel that dogs can sense this and respond well to it. I am here to give your pet the care and attention they diserve, meaning walks and play but also creating a relaxing atmosphere and cuddles too.

Safety, trust & environment

I am always the first to dog/cat sit for friends when they're away. I have a mix of toys and treats that I bring with me every time I take care of a pet but if they have a favourite toy, the better. I take my time, treating every pet as an individual and every sit seriously. I look forward to getting to know each animal and their personality every time I sit for one.

Another fabulous sit by Richard. Thank you thank you! At the end of the evening, we even had pats! The trust has finally been built - yay! Arya was so keen she jumped into Richard's car - twice! Bless... We are so pleased and happy as it allows us to leave our anxious dog so we can have some much needed dinners out!

Fabulous evening out while Richard stayed with Arya. Normally a nervous dog, he sent us a video of her snoring fast asleep in her crate while he was with her, wonderful! He even popped animal documentaries on for her! 10 stars!!!

Our first sit with Richard went really well. Arya who is normally very nervous with strangers was comfortable with Richard and accepted treats willingly. Arya is looking forward to seeing Richard again some time soon!

Rich was brilliant! Booked to house sit for the evening while we went out. Great communication, really professional and the dogs both absolutely loved from him the minute he walked in the house. Would 100% recommend and will use again!
