🐶RufflyPurrfect😺 (vet tech)🐾

Pet care experience

I absolutely LOVE animals and could not think of a better way to spend my time than with a dog (or 2 or 3 or 4). My father is a Veterinarian, so I've been around it all my life. My brother just recently became a Vet and I'm currenrly a Vet Tech, so you could say it runs in our blood. How many dollars do you love your pet? You will find your pets needs exceeded at a reasonable price, considering the experience, love, and most crucially the attention I will be personally dedicating to your pet (considering I work from home) -I know we ALL l love our pets, and this is just me personally I don't bargain hunt when it comes to the care of my loved ones especially when I know paying just a bit more ensures their caretakers experience, skill, resources available, knowledge and medical expertise. The passion I throw on top is just me I can't help it, I've been hell my dad (a vet) as his tech since I was 3. One thing to keep in mind Rover takes AT LEAST 20% (alot of times it's more) of what you compensate me with, and this is not a side gig, side hustle, hobby. This is my actual job amongst other dog and cat related services I survive off of this so please keep this in mind when looking through my profile because this might be someone's side hustle but this is my love and passion. I actually own a business that does this outside of Rover -Who else has my background?! (vet teching for my dad on house calls since 3 years old) ,expertise (1 year vet tech course),skill (over 3 years as a vet tech), love passion (raised in an animal clinic, ON ROVER? -Who else has 1 spacious front yard (isolated) 2 side yard (isolated) 1 backyard (isolated) and a 1 acre lot (isolated) ALL at their disposal WILL give your pet a better experience away from you than any boarding facility freelancer or Rover user. Your pup won't see the inside of a kennel if I have anything to say about it. CANINE ENRICHMENT is my distinguishing factor, you want a babysitter, call a relative, I won't sit around watching your pet sulk while they wait for. We will employ my canine enrichment tools to stimulate both mind and body. Maybe you might just come back to a whole new dog. REGARDLESS of any circumstance your dog is more than safe with me. I've grown up surrounded by animals, and educated on how to handle them properly. I completed a one year Veterinary Technician course and have over 3 years of experience as a Veterinary Technician. THIS IS MY LIFE AND LIVELIHOOD If you would like to talk about training, bathing, or grooming please mention so before hand. My goal is to give your furr babies the most enriching experience from the moment they set paw in my domecile to the moment they're wagging tail enters your car. *If you'd like a special discount speak to me about my personal frequent flyer discount privately*

Rafael did awesome with our pup. We had a last minute problem with a previous booking, but he was fortunately very flexible and helpful. He sent us daily updates as well as pictures and videos. He even took our fur baby to get a drive thru treat to calm him down. Overall i felt very at ease and comfortable leaving our pet. Definitely recommend his services and would book again!!

Rafael did a wonderful job taking care of our two girls. Punkin and Peanut warmed to him immediately which gave me great peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Rafael for your pet-sitting needs. I know that if we need assistance in the future, I would definitely feel comfortable with Rafael staying with our girls.

Rafael takes great care of Shadow! He takes her for the best walks and gives her so much attention that she gets very excited when she sees him. I highly recommend Rafael for taking care of your furbabies.

Your pet will receive the same structured care that my beautiful French Bulldog does. UNLESS you have a specific regiment in place or in mind for your baby. If that is the case please mention this before anything. Like I said I have a front yard 2 side yards. A backyard and a lot I use to train. You babies will have more freedom than they've ever known.

I am currently focusing on building a clientele of trainees, boarders, daycares, maybe even CANINE ENRICHMENT PARTICIPANT (guaranteed to solve most behavioral issues without even addressing them). Bring me any dog and I'll find a way to make it work, as long as you are upfront with me about special conditions I will be upfront with you about costs and possibilities. *If you'd like a special discount speak to me about my personal frequent flyer discount privately*
