Pet care experience

Welcome to The Raffa Pack! We’re Lia, Jonathan, our 1 year old son AJ, and our loyal fur-son, Kingsley! We’re a dog-loving family through and through. Lia grew up with multiple dogs and cats, and we’ve raised Kingsley since he was a puppy in 2020. Kingsley is a 4-year-old German Shepherd mix who’s never met a dog he didn’t love. He’s playful, affectionate, great with other animals, and always up for a walk, a cuddle, or a game of fetch. We also have two sweet cats, Bella and Cissy. Bella loves playing with dogs, while Cissy prefers her own space - and she has it! We’ve set up a cat-only area in the house so everyone has a safe and comfortable place to relax. We live on over an acre of fully fenced-in yard, perfect for supervised play and exercise. We can provide crates, toys, and cozy beds to help your pup feel at home. Jonathan works fully remote and is home all day, so there’s always someone available to care for, walk, or let the dogs out as needed. We offer: 🐾 Boarding 🐾 Daycare 🐾 Drop-in visits 🐾 Dog walking (solo or group walks, depending on your dog’s needs) We walk Kingsley 2–5 miles daily and would love to include your dog in the fun and fitness! We’re also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and are happy to accommodate special routines, needs, or quirks. We believe every dog deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved — and we’ll treat yours like part of the pack. We’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone — including our dog, son and your pup — is comfortable and excited. Let us know how we can help your dog feel at home while you’re away!

Lia and Jonathan were so nice and welcoming to offer to watch our Willow the yellow Lab! They have a large fenced yard with trails for daily walks that I’m sure Willow enjoyed even with their 18 month old son! They watched her in their home for 2 nights and when we picked Willow up she seemed content and happy. Thank you, Lia and Jonathan, for taking good care of Willow!!

Lia and Jon are always so great with sending updates and photos, and keeping us in the loop while we’re away! The dogs seem to always enjoy their time with them and playing with their dog! We feel so at ease when we book with them and will certainly book again in the future!

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for Bhairoo! We received so many photos and videos that it honestly felt like he was on his own little vacation 😄 Bhairoo is usually nervous around strangers, especially men, but he got comfortable so quickly and was happily following Jonathan around asking for pets and cuddles. Seeing our gentle giant so relaxed and happy meant everything to us. Highly recommend — caring, patient, communicative, and clearly amazing with dogs!”
