Richard was absolutely brilliant. Took such good care of Jessy. He eally understands dogs through his experience of working with and having animals himself. He was so helpful. I would reccomend him to anyone

Richard was a perfect choice for drop-in visits for Rascal, particularly with his experience of re-homing stray and rescue cats, as he knows the vagaries of character and the nervous behaviour that can be shown. I felt very assured as soon as I met Richard, that all would be well whilst I was away. It was really nice to see photos of Rascal and to be reassured that he was coping with the change of person administering his daily routine and that all was well. Everything was neat and tidy and cleared away on my return. I would certainly recommend Richard for all pet duties, and I will be booking again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

We do not offer a service looking after pets in our home. Although our cats are generally affable they are very skittish and wouldn’t take various other animals coming into the house

Information Richard R. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know your dog’s behaviour regards meeting other people/dogs when being walked. I will not let your dog run free off the lead.

A typical day

Different dogs need different stimulations. I would have different walk routines depending on whether your dog is nervous around other people/dogs. In house play is enjoyable for all concerned!

Cats

Availability

I am retired and since moving back to the UK with our cats I’ve missed having a dog to interact with as our last fella died while we were in Greece.
