House & Pet Sitter | Drop-In Visits
Hi, I'm Rick, and together with my wife, Jane, we're passionate animal lovers who understand just how much your pets mean to you. We are Fully Insured, Enhanced DBS checked and trained in Pet First Aid & CPR. I specialise in house sitting and drop-in visits, allowing your pets to stay happy, relaxed and comfortable in their own familiar surroundings while you're away. Whether it's feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication (where appropriate), or simply providing companionship, I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible to minimise stress. Jane and I have always loved animals and appreciate that every pet has their own unique personality. Some love long walks and games, while others just want a quiet lap to curl up on or someone to keep them company. Whatever their needs, they'll be treated with patience, kindness and genuine affection. As a homeowner myself, I also understand the importance of trust. I'll look after your home with the same care and respect as I would my own, ensuring everything is secure, clean and exactly as you left it. Communication is a big part of the service I provide. I'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, settled and receiving plenty of love and attention. If you're looking for a reliable, caring house sitter who will treat both your pets and your home as if they were our own, I'd love the opportunity to help. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful pets!

Your pets' safety, wellbeing and happiness are always our top priorities. We'll follow your instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication and home security. As lifelong pet owners, we understand that every animal is different and deserves patient, individual care. We'll also treat your home with complete respect, keeping it clean, tidy and secure, and we'll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in safe hands.
Ratings and reviews
Richard is someone I would trust without hesitation to care for my pets and my home. He has always been a caring and compassionate person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. His calm nature helps pets feel relaxed, and he understands how important it is to keep them happy and settled in their own environment. Richard and Jane are both dependable, honest and caring people who will always put a pet's wellbeing first. They communicate well, pay attention to detail and will treat your pets as if they were their own. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter. These should work well on Rover because they focus on the qualities owners look for: trustworthiness, reliability, genuine care for animals, and respect for the owner's home.
I've known Rick for many years and can honestly say he's one of the kindest, most trustworthy people I know. He has always had a genuine love for animals and treats every pet with patience, kindness and respect. I would have complete confidence leaving my own pets and home in his care. Rick is reliable, organised and takes pride in doing things properly. Together with his wife Jane, he makes a wonderful team, and I know they'll go above and beyond to make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved. Any pet owner would be lucky to have them looking after their furry family members.
