About Richard
Hi, I'm Richard! Thank you for visiting my profile.
I'm a reliable, patient, and caring animal lover who understands that pets are family. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, relaxed, and loved while their owners are away.
I've always enjoyed caring for animals and have looked after pets for family and friends. I take the time to learn each pet's personality, routine, and preferences so they receive individual care tailored to their needs.
To make sure every pet receives my full attention, I only accept one booking at a time (unless pets are from the same family). This allows me to provide personalised care and a calm environment throughout their stay.
I offer dog walking, home visits, pet sitting, and overnight stays. Dog walks typically last 30–60 minutes, depending on your dog's age and energy level. Home visits include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays when needed, playtime, companionship, and plenty of affection. I'm also happy to follow medication schedules and any specific care instructions.
I understand that some pets are shy or nervous around new people. I always allow them to settle in at their own pace and use a calm, gentle approach to help build trust.
Your pet's safety is my highest priority. In the unlikely event of an emergency, I'll contact you immediately and seek veterinary care if required.
I'm available on weekdays, evenings, and weekends with advance notice. Before the first booking, I'm happy to arrange a meet and greet so you and your pet can get to know me and feel completely comfortable.
To give you peace of mind, I'll send daily photo and video updates so you'll always know how your pet is doing.
I look forward to meeting you and treating your furry family member with the same love, patience, and care as if they were my own.
