About Richard

My name is Richard. I am married with two older daughters. Our family loves animals. We currently have two dogs, Rosie and Jessie. Two cats, Smokey and Patch. One rabbit, Buttons. We have had chickens, lizards and rats before.

Whenever we went away as a family, it was so important to us to find someone we could trust to look after our pets who are a part of our family.

Whilst I do not have experience looking after other people's animals, I have direct experience looking after my own animals for close to 40 years and I know that every animal is different and have their own quirks. We currently have a rescue dog (Jessie) and she is extremely anxious and nervous around people she does not know, so I have to support her differently. 

I am available to visit your house and can be flexible to work with you around keeping feeding and walking routines consistent. I will work with you to plan this out during the initial free intro meeting and if for any reason I can't support work your requirements, I will let you know up front.  I realise it is very important that your furry friends feel like their lives and habits are the same.

If you need an in-house sitter, I can definitely work with you to look at what your requirements are and put a plan in place, so you feel comfortable.

Unfortunately, I do not offer the ability to house your furry family at my place, as Jessie finds it difficult with other animals. 

I now have more time on my hands and want to give that trust back, so you can go away and feel relaxed that your family of pets are being looked after and you are not stressed about their welfare or whether they are anxious.

I will look after your furry friends, like I look after my own. You can relax knowing they are being loved and care for. And importantly you can enjoy that holiday or other important event.
