Richard's At Home - Dogsitting Service

13/04/2023

I stay with dogs in their own homes while their owners are away. The start of the process is to meet in the home and see how we all take to each other. If we think we can go ahead we can do a trial night, weekend, or if we are all happy, book dates for a longer period.

On the day, I move in and take over care of the dog to be continuous with the owners leaving and when they come back, I go home. That’s it in a nutshell. Everything else depends on the individual needs of the dogs and owners.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or want further info.

We’re back from our holidays and I had the pleasure of picking Piper up from the kennels 🥰
Lots of people ask me who we use to look after our dogs when we’re away, and I can highly recommend both Stainthwaite Boarding Kennels and Richard's At Home - Dogsitting Service 🐾

Over the last few months I have been working with some new dogs and, most gratifyingly, customers have been asking me back to care for their dogs. I also have bookings for dogsitting into next year.

Looked after this little man last week. Just a couple of pop-ins while his owner had a break. Still loved and cared for in his old age. Hang in there buddy!

I made two lovely new friends this weekend and I want to thank their owners, not just for their business, but for the trust they put in me to look after their charming dogs and their immaculate home.

See you again soon boys!

Would you prefer that your dog kept their normal routine in their own home with overnight supervision while you are away?

Are kennels or home boarding not suitable for them?

I can help.
