Pet lovers lending a helping hand

Pet care experience

I have looked after pets for roughly 15 years, from cats and dogs of all sizes. Also experienced with smaller exotic pets including hedgehogs and hamsters. Experience with puppy training both my own and family pets, be this with basic commands, toilet training, learning to walk to heel or recall. Further experience with elderly dogs through my own. Able to accommodate any requirements.

Thank you for looking after Oscar again. Oscar apologises that he was a little over amorous with Richard, but he definitely enjoyed his stay and was exhausted when he returned home. Lots of photos and updates received during Oscar’s 3 days stay which was reassuring, as Oscar can be a bit of a handful. Thanks again. 😊

Richard and Bee were really good with Archie and Luna and kept us up to date with regular photos throughout the day. It was the first time that they had stayed with people they hadn’t met before but they were fine. I would highly recommend them.

Brilliant carer, flexible drop off and collections and really put the effort in with rogue who can be very anxious around new people. Richard also provided daily updates and pics on how Rogue, she even came home with a new toy which she is carrying round the house with her :)

Our Greyhound Fen had a wonderful time with Bee and Richard. Bee was super responsive and accommodating with our unexpected transportation woes. We already have another pet sit planned with Bee and Richard :)

Information Richard P. would like to know about your pet

I have experience with a wide variety of dogs and will never turn a dog down without meeting them. However if you think there is anything I should know regarding behavioural issues or training please let me know.

A typical day

Exercise and stimulation is the most important thing. I live a short walk from Victoria Park and Aylestone Meadows for long walks. There is a lovely fenced off dog park nearby also for some off the lead fetch and free exploring.
