About Richard

Hi, 

We are a family of four and we are offering our home as a safe place to leave your dog.  

As a family, we have a lot of experience with dogs. As a couple, my wife and I had adopted a large dog from Iran, which we had for several years (sadly no longer with us). I grew up in a house full of dogs, as my mother has been breeding showdogs for 40 years. For the last year we have been fostering dogs with a shelter, and we and our two kids, aged 9 and 7, have enjoyed welcoming a variety of different breeds into our home for anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months at a time, each with differing ages, levels of training, and some from difficult or abusive backgrounds which we’ve helped train ready for their forever-home. Our children have been great with the dogs and are learning from us how to treat them with love and respect, as well as giving plenty of play time to those that want it.  

We live in a good sized house with plenty of space, including a large, enclosed and secure back garden. We are also an active family, so you can rest assured your dog will get as much exercise as they would normally get at home; we live close to trails, parks, and a large, dual-sized public dog-run for those dogs who love to socialize (where we also love to hang out with our pets.)

We also feel it’s important to maintain whatever house rules you might have in place for your dog, while making them feel at home as much as possible. So let us know if there’s anything you do or do not allow in your own
home, and we will make sure to imitate that for your dog’s stay here so they won't learn any new habits. 

We are also very open and accessible to you, and will share pictures of how your dog is getting on, as well as responding promptly to any enquiries after their well-being, as often as you might need.  

We accept dogs whose vaccination is to be up-to-date, are fixed, and are child friendly.

We also ask that your dog is house trained.  

As we both work from home, we can supervise your pet during the day and take them out for potty-breaks frequently.

We also offer dog-walking service, and can travel to your house if you are within a radius of 3-kms from ours.

We look forward to seeing your dog!

Richard did an amazing job taking care of our 10 week old puppy! Him and his family gave our puppy lots of love and respected the habits we had developed with our puppy. He has affordable pricing and updated with cute pics!
