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.

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!

Raik could not have been kinder. He looked after Kiki beautifully and I had lots of funny updates. He took her out and about and they had fun together. His communication before was great and he felt very reliable. She came back very chilled having had her first sit away from home. I would love to book Raik again as I felt very comfortable sigh him taking her.

I can't recommend Raik highly enough! He looked after my two girls with so much care and attention - they were clearly happy and well looked after the whole time. He took them on regular walks and kept me updated with daily pupdates and the sweetest photos, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. On top of that, the house was spotless when I got back - you'd never even know anyone had been staying! It’s so reassuring to find someone trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely great with dogs. I’ll definitely be booking him again! Thanks again, Raik! 🐾✨

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.

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.

If your dog has any specific requirements (I.e. medication, poor eye sight, deaf etc), please let me know. Each dog is different and I want to make them feel comfortable and feel loved.
