About Raph

My partner Luna and I (Raph) have both had pets for most of our lives, and always enjoy spending time with animals. We have great chemistry whenever we meet new animals and take care of pets as if they were our own. We have done numerous pet and housesits together all over the world, as can be seen in the attached reviews from pet owners. We enjoy spending time in nature, surrounded by animals, running, working out, doing yoga and are passionate about nutrition and healthy living. We recently completed our 500 Hour yoga teacher training in India and are currently working on starting up a business so that we can teach others. 

I (Raph) am 36 years old, and I truly believe life is so beautiful when connected to nature, animals and good friends. I like to focus a lot of care into my actions and lifestyle, as it feels more rewarding. I studied biological science at university and enjoyed researching about the evolution of living beings. Luna is 25 years old, she is caring, always smiling and down to earth. She recently graduated from university with her psychology degree as she is fascinated with the mind and becoming the best version of yourself. She loves spending time in nature, and being around wildlife, going hiking, doing yoga and running.

We offer dog walking and multiple per day if needed as well as overnight dog boarding at the owners home. We are very experienced with dogs and cats (rescue pets too) and have cared for many pets and homes particularly in the last couple years. We are also familiar with administering medication as we have cared for older dogs and cats who required multiple types of medication. In our profile, we have included screenshots of our THS account with 5 star reviews from all of our house and pet sits. We have a profound care for all animals and enjoy their company, and would ensure that your pet is well exercised (we both love running and walking) so could take your pet for active walks or even runs, and is given loads of cuddles and affection. The only reason we don't currently have a pet ourselves is as we travel frequently, so we love the opportunity to spend time with animals and their good energy. When caring for your pet, we would be with it the entire time, as we both work from remotely and therefore have the flexibility to stay at home. Likewise we are quite flexible during the day in regards to timing of walks, due to our remote work. We will assure you that your pet will have a wonderful time with us, feels relaxed and we will gladly accommodate to any instructions to make them happy so you have peace of mind while away.

We look forward to the opportunity to spoil your pet!
