Pet care experience

While taking care of your dog, I will take them on daily walks/runs, take them out throughout the day, feed them as specified (along with any pills they may need to take), always have a dog bowl ready with water, and constantly play with and look after them. I am a software engineer working from home, so I will have plenty of time to look after your dog. I share a house with 4 other roommates, 3 of which also work from home, so your dog will always have someone to play and interact with. I grew up with a beagle mix for most of my childhood along with a golden doodle, and have experience taking care of them while my parents were gone. My beagle became very sick one time when my parents were away and I had to take him to the vet and clean up for him as well as give him medicine while he recovered. I also attended Camp Pawprint growing up where we played with dogs and learned about taking care of them.

If you have a big active dog, then probably Rafael is not a good option for you. We left our dog for a week with him while we where on vacation in the other side of the country and in our 3rd day we got a message from him asking if I had someone to take care of sancho because he was being restless, I'm sorry it is a 80lb teen dog that it is very active, so I really recommend that maybe he should make that clear first and say that he would be a better fit for an old dog or a small one.

Rafael checked in with frequent updates. Rusty can be quirky and is incredibly high energy. Rafael took and took great care of Rusty. Thank you so much!

Rafael was great with my puppy teddy! I could tell teddy really loved him because when I came to pick him up he almost didn’t want to come back with me. Rafael is very responsive and I really appreciated him watching him for so long while I’m at work!

Information Rafael B. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any quirky behaviors I should know about so I’m not too surprised by them? How is he/she with other dogs when on walks? What are his/her usual daily activities? Does he/she have any separation or anxiety issues and what can I do to best serve him/her when in my care?

A typical day

I live three blocks away from Volunteer Park and nearby Interlaken Park, so we will regularly go on walks/runs here. South Lake Union is only 1.5 miles away too, and I enjoy going on runs here to change up the scenery.
