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.

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.

Brilliant again. We just love Richard and Bee. They take great care of our two dogs, and I know they’re in safe hands. Lots of updates, and they always make sure they’ve got everything they need - including feeding our fussy little frenchie and giving her medication. The house is always looked after too, they even brought our bins in for us when they dog sat for the day

Another fantastic house sitting experience - Angus and Birdie were treated like royalty. Bea and Richard ensured their water was filled when they left and sent photos throughout the day. Will be booking again.

Richard was very accommodating to fit in with the day care for Fudge as at the last minute my transport was cancelled meaning I had to leave at a much earlier time. On arrival Fudge was very keen to start his adventure, went bounding into their home. Received regular feedback of the day which is always reassuring to receive. A very tired Fudge returned home at the end of the day!

Richard and Bea were brilliant! They obviously love taking care of doggies, and they looked after our pair so well. We’ve got two very different dogs, with totally opposite needs, but this was no problem for them. They were punctual, sent me loads of updates and managed our small dogs meds. Would love then to dog sit for us again.
