Pet care experience
Caring and responsible animal lover
I have had a Parsons from 8 weeks old until he passed away aged 14. He was my life and we made many great memories. For now I would love to help other pet owners to look after their fur babies.

Ratings and reviews
We were absolutely delighted to leave our dog, Milo, in the wonderful care of Raik and Michael. Our 3.5-year-old Golden Retriever had a fantastic weekend with them! Raik kept us constantly reassured and updated with text messages and photos of Milo's adventures. He kept Milo active—which he absolutely loved—and spoiled him with treats for behaving well. On top of that, Raik's excellent communication and incredible organization made the entire process completely stress-free for us. We couldn't be happier!
Mira felt comfortable and had a great time. I know because the photos and updates were detailed and funny. Our little fur ball of attitude got so many walks. Time in the water. What more could we want. Raik is what you want in a sitter.
Raik did an excellent job. House was left clean and tidy.
Raik and Michael were so good with Bertie. He settled really well and we were kept updated with plenty of photos and comments on where they had been for walks. It is so reassuring to be able to leave your own pet with people who clearly care and enjoy looking after them. We would recommend Raik and Michael and would have no hesitation in leaving Bertie with them again. Bertie was relaxed and very happy when we picked him up. Thank you Raik and Michael.
I booked Raik with very short notice, also not noticing the long distance he'd need to travel. Not only was Raik very enthusiastic snd accepting, him and Michael also were very understanding of our situation and were very glad to help! Raik and Michael were very patient and gentle with my puppies when I didn't have the time to properly introduce them to each other. They took them on a few lovely walks, and sent me pictures the whole time! I came home to two very happy and very sleepy puppies and I could tell they had a wonderful time. I also had the peace of mind knowing they were being taken care of by two wonderful people who clearly love dogs! Thank you both Raik and Michael for taking the time to come watch my girls and take them on a little adventure. ❤️❤️
Absolutely fantastic - would highly recommend. Unfortunately the booking was very last minute, but was able to accommodate this with a mutual plan. Gave me regular updates and my girls were very happy when I returned, with no worries from me or them!

Schedule
I am working full time, office hours. But I am free midweek evenings and any time on weekends. I enjoy long walks and campervan holidays (potentially with your little four legged friend). Weekend sleepovers would also suit very well. If your dog settles really well in other environments, than one day in the office with me should be fine too.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced garden but always prefer a walk on Hungerford common, along the Kennet & Avon canal or a day /weekend by the seaside. I have uploaded a document which confirms that I do not have a criminal record on the PNC (Police National Computer). This shall help alleviate any concerns that surround trusting a stranger. (Record was issues August 2025).
A typical day
Walks in the countryside and cuddles are top of my agenda. Playtime is a given, but all depends on the age and needs of your family member.
