Richard has cared for our fur baby Otis twice since we had him as a puppy (he's a very lively labrador). Both times we took Otis to Richard's home, along with all of the usual puppy parafanalia. Richard was very accommodating, happily having Otis' crate set up in his lounge. Richard made sure that Otis was made to feel at home, playing with him like we do and taking him for his walks. Otis was so happy with Richard that when we collected him after his second stay he didn't want to get into our car to come home. We would definitely recommend Richard to any other dog owners, and we will be leaving Otis with him when we have our next weekend away.
