Pet care experience

**Important** I am currently in SUNRISE, Fl. I am accepting any HOUSE SITTING, DROP IN, and DOG WALKING requests. Sunny guy from a sunny state! Whether it's in my home, or your home, I hope you'll feel confident enough to let me watch your loved ones. This is something I'm truly passionate about and I'm hoping that my services bring as much pleasure to you as they do to me! Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover since I was a little boy. Growing up, I always found that dogs were friendly towards me.. not sure what that says about me as a person, but I've always managed to return the favor with treats and belly rubs! My passion for pups even got me my first job in high school as a Baker for a privately owned Doggy Bakery. I guess it's safe to say that I know what dogs like! Looking forward to meeting you!

Rafael did a great job. The animals seemed happy when we got home. He did a super job keeping the house clean with all the animals there. I would definitely recommend him.

This was my first time using Rover and our first time using a sitter for our pup so we were very nervous about leaving our pup with someone other than family. At the first meet n' greet, we felt comfortable with moving forward with Rafael and I'm so glad that we followed our instinct. Rafael was amazing! It is evident that he loves dogs. Most importantly- he provided us with several updates/pictures throughout the sitting period, and carefully followed our pup's care guidelines. Our pup was extremely comfortable and happy around Rafael (based on videos of him doing "zoomies" in the house which he does when he's happy). Rafael's in-home sitting made for an easy adjustment for our pup while we were away. Rafael was respectful of our home and left everything in order. We've found our go-to sitter and I know you will too if you book with Rafael! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Rafael is our new go-to guy whenever we need someone to watch our furry ones. They adore him. He’s affordable, reliable, accommodating and just an all-round great guy. Communication is top-notch, so expect plenty of amazing photos when you leave your pets with him. Rafael goes out of his way to make sure the dogs are happy, healthy and very much loved while their humans are away. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of pet services. You won’t be disappointed!

Information Rafael M. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference toward the breed of your dog. I would like to know if your pet follows a specific walking and feeding schedule or not. If so, what are your specifications? Also, are you able to supply your pet's supplies?

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There are several parks surrounding my neighborhood. All well-lit areas and very aesthetically pleasing. Many neighbors walk their pets around here as well, so finding a friend would never be a problem! Your dog's sleeping arrangement In my bedroom. I prefer that your pet not sleep in my own bed though. Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as possible. If the weather permits, I would love to take your pet to the park for a few hours!

I work remotely from home, so as long as I have access to WiFi, I’ll be able to support your pets needs around the clock. There are certain days that I am asked to come into the office, but I would let you know that information in advance. I’m usually not there for more than 5 hours at a time.
