Pet care experience

Experienced cat dad with 5* care

Ever since I was a kid I have lived with cats in my household, and absolutely adore furry friends! Most recently, co-dad to Babs, a handsome tuxedo who we have had since 2019, first in London (UK), then PEI and now Montreal, and at 16 still going strong! I also regularly cat-sat for a friend in London. I can provide a full spectrum of care, from full on play time with the faiv cat-nip mouse, to some quiet time with some gentle strokes, or simply just popping in to say hello and top up food and water. Let me help and allow you to have no stress or worries with your furry feline!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 16 year old cat of our own; as he has got older; he has needed more frequent vet visits and medicine care, and I take my responsibilities seriously in this line to give him the best quality of life possible. I have also cat-sat for friends in the past, and am highly conscientious and reliable, providing a full spectrum of cat care from basic care such as food and water to more extensive needs such as late night vet visits.

Rich is the perfect candidate to mind your fur babies; not only is he a cat dad himself who takes great care and gives extraordinary love to his felines, he is also reliable when it comes to cleanliness of the home, making it a safe space for humans and animals to live without fear of accidents. Additionally, his reassuring presence is a comfort to all who come within his reach. Give Rich a chance to look after your pet, you will not regret it!

I cannot recommend Richard highly enough. He was my loyal and trusted cat sitter for 20 years, and throughout that time I had complete confidence in him with both my much-loved cat, Louis, and my home. Richard is exceptionally reliable, dependable and conscientious. He took his responsibilities seriously, was always completely trustworthy and, most importantly, genuinely cared about Louis. That became particularly important during the final years of my cat’s life, when he developed kidney disease and needed considerably more care. Richard was wonderful with him. He made sure his medication was given correctly and on time, monitored his eating and made sure he ate regularly, and gave him the patience, attention and affection an elderly, unwell cat needed. Knowing Richard was looking after him meant I could go away without worrying; something that was absolutely invaluable to me. Over two decades, Richard proved himself time and again to be someone I could rely upon completely. I would trust him without hesitation with my pets and my home, and I would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, capable and exceptionally conscientious pet sitter. Any animal in Richard’s care will be in very safe hands.

He loves cats, enjoys looking after them and taking care of their needs. He knows how to read cats, a genuine skill. Your cats are in great hands with Rich.
