About Richard
I have a genuine passion for dogs and providing them with the care, attention, and compassion they deserve. As a physiotherapist, I bring a strong understanding of wellbeing, patience, and attentive care into everything I do, qualities that naturally extend to looking after animals.
I am also planning to further my studies in animal physiotherapy, which reflects my long term commitment to working closely with and supporting animals.
I regularly look after dogs for friends and family, so I am confident handling different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy keeping active and offer 3 or more walks per day, with each walk typically lasting between 30 minutes and 1.5 hours, tailored to each dog’s age, breed, and energy level. Alongside this, I provide playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of attention throughout the day.
As I work from home, I am able to provide a consistent and structured routine. A typical day includes regular toilet breaks, multiple walks, feeding at agreed times, rest periods, play and enrichment activities, and lots of companionship, so dogs are never left alone for long periods.
I take care to understand each dog’s behaviour and adjust my approach accordingly. Whether a dog is energetic, nervous, or prefers a calmer environment, I ensure they feel secure and supported. I am comfortable managing different behaviours, including high energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and those who require a more gentle and patient approach.
When introducing new dogs, I do so gradually and calmly to make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my home. I create a relaxed environment where they can settle at their own pace and build confidence.
Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I maintain a clean and secure environment, keep a close eye on dogs at all times, and follow any specific care instructions carefully, including feeding routines, medication if required, and exercise needs. I also provide regular updates to owners for peace of mind.
I always aim to create a safe, calm, and loving home from home experience where dogs feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for.
