Pet Sitting
Really friendly and professional, followed my pet care instructions to the letter and frequently let me know how my animals were.

Richard has previously looked after our small animals when we have had to leave them alone at home.
Sounds a simple enough task to caretake rabbits but ours have very distinct personalities and needs that come with being raging escapologists and having constant phantom pregnancies!
He also took care of our tortoises but these are less challenging fortunately.
It was great to know that our home was safe and our animals cared for by someone we trust 100% and we wouldn’t even consider employing anyone else with the task in the future .

Dog Walking
I usually use once a week to walk my German shepherd and find Richard to be reliable and friendly. Thanks!
Fevos & Eri
Richard offers a very professional, reliable and friendly service. It gives us such a great peace of mind to use his services as he has been always happy to help, even at a last minute notice, which suits our unpredictable work hours. Our dog always looks happy and tired after the walks! Group walks have also helped with our puppy's socialisation with other dogs. Highly recommended! More...

Richard is a great dog walker and my King Charles Honey loves him and we can’t imagine how we’d manage without him he is very reliable in all weather s and has even done extra days for me at the last minute you won’t be disappointed I promise
What do you love most about your job?
I love spending time with animals. I also adore being outside in all weathers. I get great pleasure from getting to know my animal clients - what makes them happy and makes their tails wag!
What inspired you to start your own business?
When I was growing up I always wanted to bring home stray cats & dogs - I was passionate about animals. I decided not to train as a vet as I was more interested in animal personalities than physiology.
I began working as a support worker because I really enjoyed helping people. I did this job for many years but when my children came along I decided it was time to follow my life long passion and work with animals. I get so much satisfaction at seeing the happy waggy tails and seeing how excited the dogs are to see me when I arrive in my van - it really makes my day!
Why should our clients choose you?
I am honest, reliable and most importantly I really love all my animal clients. I love their different personalities and their quirks. They make me smile and laugh. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own. I understand how important they are to you and I really value the trust you put in me.
