Richard has been an amazing dog sitter for our dog Max. He sent lots of lovely photos to us and was so accommodating with a meet up beforehand. He took such great care of our dog, who came home very happy and super chilled. Would highly recommend Richard to anyone in the waterlooville and surrounding area.

Richard was great, very reassuring despite Monty taking a little while to settle in. Regular photos of walks and settled comfortably at home were really lovely to receive. And I had no concerns about Monty's medication being administered. All went very smoothly, we're very grateful!

Richard took great care of Rufio while we were abroad for a week. Really appreciated the time spent for the initial meet and greet to make sure he understood Rufio and that Freddie and Rufio had chance to meet, alongside his willingness to support an overnight 'test run' before we were away to make sure there were no problems. Daily updates with photos were perfect for keeping us informed and gave us peace of mind.

Richard looked after my dog extremely well and I particularly appreciated the photographs he sent. I would be very happy to return my dog to his care.

It was my dogs first stay away from home and Richard took really good care of him. I wouldn’t hesitate in using him again.

Despite short notice Richard was able to accommodate Milo in comfort. He got on well with their dog. Enjoyed the walks (and one sofa). I was kept upto date with photographs while I was away. Thank you for looking after him so well.
