Highlights
Pet care experience
Home full of love and fun! :)
I've always had dogs in my life and always will. :)) From looking after neighbours pets to volunteering in dog shelters they hold a special place in my heart. I've taken dog traineing courses to understand more about my furry buddies. I work from home so will have plenty of time for walkies and playtime. I also go for a run most days so if your dog is active I'm happy to take them on a nice run adventure. Can tailor exercise needs to your pets requirements. I teach paddleboarding so if your dog likes to swim or would like to learn i'm your guy. We have a fenced garden and lots of green spaces surrounding us as well as the coast which is 2minute walk away. I offer a pickup and dropoff service. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions about the stay.

He looked after my dogs so well, gave daily updates and treated them like his own. I would highly recommend and have already booked to use again. Thanks so much!!
Amazing, very accommodating. Aavie loved her time with Richard and ill be sure to book again when ever we need a getaway ourselves. It's like a home from home for your pet. Thanks
Morgi had a great stay with Rich! It was her first time staying away but she was really relaxed from the outset, and Rich made it really easy and sent regular updates - Morgi had a great time, even had her first swim! And bonus training tips for us to take home :) thanks a lot Rich, we'll definitely be back!
Richard was fantastic with Maggie and gave great updates. She was a happy and tuckered out doggo when we picked her up.
Richard was really fantastic - Clyde had an excellent time! Highly recommend.
Archie had the best time on his walk with Richard!

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer a safe loving environment, it's a home from home for them tailored to each individual pets specific needs. We have a huge box of toys, enormous bean bag for them to chill on and a huge array of varied walks locally.
A typical day
We play lots of games with our dog she loves playing with toys and being chased around, tug of war, toys with treats like puzzles. I also run and go on long walks so they can have a good sniff about. We have a number of woodlands near us and natural springs as well as various beaches, located just off walpole bay. Also a very hilly area great for exercise.
