Pet care experience

Walking dogs, sitting with cats, perfection

My last two dogs have been rescue dogs with unknown histories and, initially, unsettled personalities. With love, time and care they became the most beautiful, friendly pets. I hope my love and care is welcomed by your beloved pet

I have a communal area where I take my dog for regular toilet breaks and ball chasing, but I won’t be bringing other pets to my home, sorry

Richard is great and takes such good care of our dog Billie! Really grateful for Richards availability on such short notice and he's a great communicator. He always shares photos of Billie when he checks-in which is lovely to see. Thanks so much Richard!

Richard was absolutely fantastic with our two cats — a very shy adult and a super‑active kitten. They both liked him from the very first visit, which says everything. He looked after them with so much patience and kindness, and his daily updates and photos were a real comfort while we were away. He’s incredibly friendly, reliable, and genuinely lovely with animals. Highly recommended 👌

Nell greeted Richard like an old friend from their first meeting. His confident and kindly approach saw Nell happily join her new friend for an afternoon walk. I had a report and photos showing their progress for my reassurance but I needn't have had any concerns as Nell looked totally relaxed. We shall book Richard again.
