Richard went above and beyond caring for our girls, with not only the necessities, but also by giving them more love and attention than we had ever expected. We truly felt peace of mind knowing our girls were in great hands. Richard also made two new furry friends, which was impressive considering how shy our cats usually are, and sent us wonderful pictures at every visit. We are so grateful and more than satisfied! ❤️

We highly recommend Richard! We have re-booked with Richard numerous times because he is the best. When he cares for our cats he leaves detailed notes and takes great pictures. We always feel like they’re in good hands.
