Richmond Paws
Dog Walking & Pet Sitting
About Sophie: I've always had animals since a young age and enjoy spending time with them. In 2013 I started studying an Extended Diploma in Animal Management and passed the course by mid 2015; by doing this it has enabled me to gain not only understanding on the theory side of animal care but also valuable experience with the practical side too.
​​
During this time I got the opportunity to care and work alongside some amazing animals, this included but not limited to: Kune Kune Pigs, Chickens, Ferrets, Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Guinea Pigs, Birds, Snakes, Tarantula’s, Geckos, Bearded Dragons, Tortoise, Snails, Cockroaches, Gerbils, Hamsters, Chinchillas, Degu, Rats, Hedgehogs, Fancy Mine and also Pygmy Mice.
​
I have previously worked in a pet store assisting customers and gave a helping hand with the care and sale of pets; I also worked as an Animal Care Assistant. Both of these included feeding and providing water for the animals, playing and providing enrichment, cleaning out the cages to a high standard, providing small regular health checks of the animals, and also keeping records of the animals on a daily basis.
About us
About Michelle: My animal care history includes working in a pet store, dog walking, cat sitting, and attending to small rodents. I grew up with animals all my life and currently live with our two cats who are around 16 years of age!
When caring for your pet I will ensure they have food and water, have a cleaned litter tray/ enclosure and have plenty of love, attention and grooming. I am also able to administrate medication if needed and water plants/ collect mail too!
Dog walking can be provided locally or dogs can be taken to the closest Royal park such as Richmond Park or Bushy Park! I am CRB/ DBS checked and have my own mode of transport, so I am able to travel to cater to your needs.

We are covered by one of the leading pet insurance companies so you can have peace of mind that your pet is not only cared for by us, but is also legal covered by the insurance too!
