Pet care experience
I've had dogs my entire life, so taking care of them is second nature to me. Recently, I lost my own dog, and although I'm not quite ready for another, I would be thrilled to care for yours while you're away! I've boarded dogs of all ages and sizes, each with their own unique personalities, so all dogs are welcome here :) I work from home, so your dog will always have a buddy to hang out with. I'm also a total homebody, so if it's the weekend, there's a 95% chance I'll be at home. I can accommodate any feeding, walking, potty, or medication schedules your dog is used to. **Note: I only board one dog at a time to ensure your pup's comfort! However, if you have more than one dog who are used to living together, I can absolutely take them both in :) I live in a third-floor apartment with plenty of space and light, complete with a dog park and a nice trail nearby for walks. There are no other animals in the apartment, so your dog will be the king/queen of the castle here. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities, and I will readily accommodate any medication schedules, special needs, anxiety triggers, and/or food restrictions. I have experience working with dogs with a history of trauma and will make every effort to ensure your dog feels safe here. Just let me know your dog's needs, and I'll make sure my place is prepped, safe, and comfy for your pup.
Reviews
Rafa took care of Nala very well! She looked to have a great time! Rafa is very communicative and respectful
Rafa was awesome. He was easy to work with, communicative, and my dog absolutely loved him. Would 100% recommend him as a sitter to any dog owner.
Rafa was such a great person & took care of Oliver! We will book again 🫶🏽
We had an incredible experience booking with Rafa! Our sweet girl is 12-years old and we were new to the Austin area; finding the right person to care for her while we were gone was stressful to say the least. Rafa was extremely responsive and encouraged a meet + greet at his apartment so we felt comfortable with him. He was very understanding of Sasha's limitations given her age and tailored the weekend to her preferences - laying outside on the balcony and short walks outside several times a day. He sent multiple photos everyday to let us know how she was doing and was very flexible on pickup when our plane was delayed home. I really want to gatekeep Rafa so we'll always have him, but everyone should know how great he is!
