Richard and bee looked after our two dogs twice and were brilliant both times! We had a bad sitter previously which left us a bit apprehensive but we couldn’t be happier with the care they gave on both sits One pup is a menace who acts like a puppy still and has to be supervised a lot and the other is a bit grumpy at the younger one but they managed great with both, both dogs took to them immediately and were sad to see them go. Will definitely book again in the future 😊

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.

Safety, trust & environment

Most important thing is making sure the pets we look after are safe and comfortable. Animals wouldn't be left unattended as we know what they can get up to when a back is turned. Any details or instructions provided by the owner will be strictly followed as making sure their pets are as safe and comfortable as possible is our number one priority.

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.

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.
