Availability

Animals are part of my everyday life, so pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I love starting the day with a walk and checking in again later for playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles. Because my schedule is flexible, I can adjust to your pet’s specific routine and keep things as normal as possible for them.

Safe walks, happy tails!!!

Pet care experience

I treat every dog like my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and truly love what I do your pup’s safety, happiness, and comfort always come first. I pay attention to the little things: daily routines, favorite toys, walking pace, personality quirks, and whatever helps your dog feel secure and loved. I’m also great at communication, so you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your best friend is in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your life easier and your dog’s day happier.

Rafael is an amazing dog sitter! He was caring, communicative, and truly went above and beyond. My dog adored him. He treated my dog like family from the moment they met. I can’t recommend Rafael enough!
