redrover,redrover, send(name)over!

I grew up with dogs in my home and I got a dog of my own dog when I moved out and plenty of my friends have trusted me to watch their pets time and time again for up to a week ever so often. I’m a simple caring person not too different from others but I’m at least genuine to that fact.

Rafael did great with Koko. He and his wife are very caring and made sure Koko was comfortable and settled in quickly. It’s great to have peace of mind!

This was my first time using Rafael’s service and I was not disappointed. My Koko was at peace there and well taken care of. Rafael was very communicative and allowed to have peace of mind while I was out of town. I will definitely use him for future needs!

Rafael was an amazing sitter for my dog, Ivy! He was extremely communicative and made Ivy feel comfortable during her stay! Ivy can’t wait to stay with Rafael again!

This is the first time I have used Rover, and Rafael was awesome, my dog Sophie made a new friend! He was punctual and so attentive to her, I can’t wait to use his services again and I highly recommend him in the Jarrell area!!

Schedule

I have a wonderful rascal as if he was my own kid. Yet he is my dog so we have a respectful master-pet relationship. I never hesitate to google something I am in need of learning to best understand my dog.

Pets

A typical day

The dog(s) and I can play with any particular toy he/she finds most enjoyable in the comfort of my back yard or we could take a jog to a nearby park and try various obstacles to exercise their mind. (Nothing intense, simply for fun) like going up and down the steps on a child’s play area. We could even go to a dog park as well!

The level of discipline of the pet. For myself I feel like that sums up a few things that I already can think of to look out for.
