Highlights
Pet care experience
20+ yrs experienced dog & cat owner
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!

Ratings and reviews
Thanks for taking care of Kai and Seamus.
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!”
This was our first time having Lia & Jonathan watch our dog, Ringo. His stay at their home exceeded our expectations. Ringo had a great time on their large property and went for walks regularly. There was daily communication with photos and videos so we could see how he was doing. It was a great immersive experience for him playing with the other dogs for the week, and he's definitely tired... in a good way! We have already rebooked!
After losing our regular sitter due to relocation we thought we’d never find anyone to replace her. We’re so glad we found Lia and Jonathan on Rover. They were great pet sitters for our boy! Cannoli was so happy there and we felt confident and comfortable during our trip knowing he was in good hands. They kept us updated the entire time and sent wonderful photos of Cannoli playing with his new friends:) we will definitely bring Cannoli to their house again! 💙
Lia and Jonathan took care of Misha like she was their own. They were so accommodating! Couldn’t ask for more! Thank you!!

Schedule
We both work full-time but are remote and have flexibility. Morning, lunch, and evening drop in available. Weekends are open as well. We are flexible and can work with you. We walk our dog in the morning and in the evening at least 2 miles a day and are happy to bring your dog along on the walk and/or accommodate based on your desires. We can walk your dog separate too if you prefer individualized attention and/or training.

A typical day
We walk our dog 2x a day and can do the same for your dog. We also take to dog park 2-4x a week if needed or wanted. We also have dedicated time in the backyard during lunch and evening where we will play in the back yard (fetch, pool for water-loving dogs, etc.).
