My experience

Richard looked after Tabatha and Travis’s pets & home

Richard minded our NZ house and pets while we were overseas during our Christmas holiday break Dec2022 and Jan2023. During that time, Richard did an excellent job and we were tremendously happy with everything when we returned. He even fixed our gate to make it more secure for our dogs. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 dogs and 1 cat in Richards care at our home. He was also great at understanding our pets exercise and diet routines etc. We recommend Richard to anyone who's looking for a pet and/or house sitter arrangement.
