About Richard

I Have been Pet Sitting for 5 Years now with my Wife Emma. We Love the company and fun pets give and we enjoy visiting new places and making new pet friends. We live on Dartmoor so are keen walkers and love the countryside. So if your dog loves a walk that's not a problem.

We moved from Surrey in 2018 for a quieter life in beautiful Devon. I was a Gardener for 25 years and Emma was a childminder for 10 years. We had a black Labrador for 11 years and miss her dearly. I was also a scout leader for 7 years and coached sports including football, basketball, volleyball and archery.

We have travelled lots of the country caring for pets on house sits along the way, which has been a joy and created some great memories. Experiences Including Dogs, Cats, Sheep, Guinea pigs, rabbits and chickens. We are looking after a house Duck soon which will be a new one for us!!

We will always keep you up to date while we care for your pets via messages and pictures. Emma is a keen photographer so you could get some nice pictures too. We have lots of great reviews from previous pet sitting experiences which we are happy to share with you if required.

Look forward to hearing from you and your pets soon

100% positive feedback for Richard and Emma who stayed in our home and looked after our reactive dog and cat . Bessie our dog seemed much more relaxed and calm when we returned. I was kept up to date everyday with Bessie’s adventures and returned to a lovely clean house .

Communications before and during were brilliant .

Richard and Emma are truly amazing humans and their love for animals shines . Thank you so much.
