Due to my ability to work remotely, I am constantly at home and able to care for the dogs. I have a large house and a big garden enough for them to play around and enjoy the grass and go loo whenever they need too. Even whilst i’m working i’m able to tend to them whenever necessary. Food times will be allocated via the owners preference, whatever you say goes! I will give them daily walks, again depending on the owners preference as i’m aware some require 5 minutes and some require 2 hours! That’s all fine for me. If there are specific requirements or needs from the owners for their pup i shall do my best to follow them!

I have a fenced garden and a pug and a doberman both females. My female is a bit picky on people but loves doggy friends as does my pug! We will be able to go on walks as a pack and play in the garden whenever they like. I have plenty of crates and toys for them to play with. All dog friendly. Protected house and under my constant 24 hour watch! And i have a loving family who also love dogs too who are very happy to help and have been for years!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs for as long as i can remember. All animals in fact, birds, cats, dogs of course, rabbits, but i’m a dog lover at heart. I currently own a doberman female which is currently 2 years old. I’ve grown up around big guard dogs specifically and have experienced training to ensure they are well mannered and loved. My mother currently does boarding too which has brought me the inspiration to try it myself! I have been helping her for over 4+ years of tons of variety of pups that I all adore and miss very much! I am able to handle multiple regular / small dogs at once but large dogs might be tricky as i have a doberman myself i need to tend too. Luckily i have a dog loving family who are also happy to help whenever available. Feel free to message me whenever and i’d be happy to message any questions you may have!

I left my dog Moezza with Raphael over a weekend and was amazed with how well he took care of her. Properly fed, set walking times, and followed my medical instructions perfectly. When i came to pick her up i met his dog maze who seems scary at first but is an absolute sweetheart. Moezza and maze were getting along so well and I’d never hesitate to leave her with Raphael again.

Raphael has been around dogs from a very young age and is naturally calm, confident and caring with them. He is responsible, disciplined and takes their routines, safety and wellbeing seriously. He has already gained practical experience by helping my wife care for dogs staying in our home, including feeding, walking, supervising and making sure they feel comfortable and settled. He is patient, attentive and understands that every dog has its own personality and needs. I would trust Raphael to provide a safe, welcoming and loving environment for any dog in his care. He is reliable, genuinely enjoys being around animals and would always treat someone else’s pet with the same care and respect as his own.

Raphael has taken care of my husky Bruno for about a year now on and off and 100% recommend, wouldn't use another sitter, sends me lots of updates and my dog loves their girls. Can tell my dog loves the house because he drags me at the door to get in which is a lovely sign. Flexible aswell, always helps out on short notice and does long stays. Always recieved him smelling good, tired and happy from play. Thank you Raphael for taking care of Bruno!

I’m happy to recommend Raphael as a dog sitter. He has taken care of my dog, Charles, on several occasions, and every experience has been excellent. Raphael is incredibly patient, responsible, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Charles was always happy, well cared for, and comfortable in his care, which gave me complete peace of mind whenever I was away. Raphael paid close attention to Charles’s routine, made sure he got plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection, and kept me updated while I was gone. It was obvious that Charles trusted and enjoyed spending time with him. I would confidently recommend Raphael to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. He genuinely loves animals, and it shows in the way he looks after them.
