About Rafael C.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety is my top priority. I use secure leashes, avoid unsafe areas, monitor behavior closely, and ensure constant supervision during walks or visits
Information Rafael C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any important details about your dog—routines, preferences, fears, favorite toys, or special needs—so I can always give them the best care possible!
A typical day
There are plenty of fun and engaging activities I can do with my client's dogs to keep them happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated. Going on long walks or jogs is a great way to burn off energy and explore new environments together. Playtime in the yard or at a local dog park, including games like fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek, helps build trust and keep them active. For a bit of enrichment, I can introduce puzzle toys or simple training sessions that reinforce good behavior while giving their minds a workout. If they enjoy water, a trip to a dog-friendly beach or splash pad can be a blast. And of course, ending the day with some calm cuddle time or brushing helps strengthen our bond and ensures they feel loved and cared for

Reviews
We had a last-minute need for a dog sitter, and Rafael came through for us in the best possible way. From the moment he arrived, our dogs took to him immediately — it was clear he has a natural connection with animals. He was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were in such good hands. When we got back, they were happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We absolutely loved having Rafael watch them and wouldn’t hesitate to call on him again. Highly recommend!!
Rafael is a fantastic dog sitter and walker. Rafael is punctual, caring, and seems to genuinely enjoy every minute spent with our dog. Rain or shine, he is there with a smile, making sure Bonnie gets his exercise and fun in. He even sends little photo updates during the walk—which always makes our day!
Rafael is a responsible and loving pet caregiver who goes above and beyond to make sure animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. He’s gentle, patient, and always pays attention to their needs—whether it's feeding them on time, making sure they get enough play or rest, or simply giving them affection. Animals naturally trust him, and it’s clear he truly enjoys spending time with them.
