Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own homes, my primary focus is sticking to their routine and adhering to the owner's instructions. I understand that dogs thrive on a familiar routine and I aim to minimise any disruption to their usual day. During visits, I ensure they receive fresh food and water, administer any necessary medication, and provide ample opportunities for exercise and play as requested. For dog walking, I follow the owner's preferred routes and ensure a safe and enjoyable outing. I also take care of essential tasks like cleaning up after pets and ensuring their environment remains tidy. I provide regular updates to owners, including photos and messages, so they can feel reassured their pets are in good hands. I am always available to answer any questions or address any concerns and treat the owner's home with the utmost respect.

A typical day
My day revolves around your pet's routine and individual needs. A typical day might start with a trip to the garden for a wee and stretch, followed by breakfast, and then a good walk or some outdoor play. Later, there might be some indoor play, another walk if needed, and dinner—always tailored to your pet’s routine and preferences. I make sure they get plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection throughout the day, and I base their care on your instructions to ensure they stay happy, comfortable, and well looked after.

Passionate Pet Lover Ready to Care.
Pet care experience
An animal lover through and through! I’m best suited to dogs who enjoy an active routine or a puppy, but I’m happy to be flexible. With a City & Guilds in Dog Walking, a Dog First Aid certificate, and a background working for various professional dog companies, I provide expert, high-standard care. I am a 5-Star Sitter on Rover, committed to maintaining a premium service for my clients. Location: Based in the Sutton and Reigate area, I’m currently offering services locally. I have previously travelled further afield for sits and may expand my coverage again in the future. Dog Walking: I love taking dogs out for walks and making sure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. I’m happy to offer solo walks when needed, as well as longer or more active outings for dogs who enjoy extra time outdoors. I’m happy to walk your recommended route and make every outing safe, structured, and enjoyable, so your dog comes home happy and settled. Pet Sitting & Home Care: While pet sitting, I offer total peace of mind through a premium level of pet and home care. I take great pride in being a respectful and reliable guest; I maintain a clean, tidy, and well-kept environment so you can return to a home exactly as you left it. Beyond pet care, I provide a high level of property security, remaining vigilant and attentive while staying in your home. I also manage essential household tasks such as watering plants and managing bins, ensuring your property is secure, lived-in, and perfectly maintained in your absence.
Reviews
Richard was great all the guys loved him straight away. He sent updates and his communication was excellent.
Richard was amazing. The handover session was very helpful when he met us and our dog. He was immediately at ease competent and kind on meeting the dog . He was keen to learn about our requirements and the dogs All relevant information was exchanged about the number and timings of visits and Richard actually fitted in an extra visit to check the dog was alright in the heatwave We were very happy with Richard’s care ..and so was the dog
Richard took excellent care of our dog, who can be a bit challenging in some situations. He handled him with professionalism and confidence, and we felt completely reassured throughout. We would happily trust him again!
Richard was superb … his communication is excellent… he looked after my two labs for the weekend and managed them with care, kindness and professionalism… it is great to have someone so trustworthy taking care of the boys
