"Caring Canine Enthusiast

I am a dog lover, I am a veterinarian from El Salvador, I am not yet certified in Canada but I am in the process, all my life I have had dogs as pets in fact in my family we are lovers of German shepherds and my dog ​​Tyson is I raised from birth as my father had his 2 Tyson parents and I attended his birth. We have had the record of caring for our pets until a very old age. Another of our favorite breeds is the Boston Terrier, highly recommended to have as a company for our children. In short, I am passionate about canines and with the greatest pleasure I would be delighted to take care of them as my own.

Rafael and his family took really great care of Chia! They sent us photos and videos regularly and her tail was wagging in every single one. We had a great first experience on Rover, and will definitely be booking with Rafael again!

Rafael and his beautiful family took very good care of Bingo while we were away. Bingo got used to them very quickly. They kept me updated by sending me pictures and videos. I definitely recommend them.

Rafael and his family were very loving towards Bella during her stay with them. They communicated with us on a regular basis and even taught her a new trick ( dancing) that they shared with us in a video. We are definitely going to use Rafael again. Bella really enjoyed her stay with them. Thanks again

Rafael and his wonderful family have truly become Snowball’s home away from home. I exclusively board her with them because I know she’s always loved, safe, and treated like part of their family. I’m so grateful for the care and warmth they give her every time! 💕🐾

Absolutely amazing experience. We booked with Rafael for our 2 pups during my wedding week. I was sent pictures and videos during the week. We had the chance to meet the family in advance and saw the space which really put our mind at ease. He was very quick to reply and would send pics everyday, which is amazing because during the busy time at home, we were happy to see they were doing well. The family was very accommodating, we had planned to occasionally pick them up and they were understanding when we could not. Timing for a drop off and pick up was also very flexible which helped a lot during this busy time. Our pups came home very happy and healthy. We appreciate the help and would definitely book with this family again.

My family, who adore our furry friends, are always there to support me, especially when I don't have a dog of my own around. My Boston Terrier is in El Salvador with our other family dogs.
