Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Yard. Lifelong Dog Lover
I’ve been around dogs my entire life, as my family always had dogs while I was growing up. I’ve cared for dogs of different sizes, from medium-sized dogs to my own large Husky back home. I’ve also taken care of friends’ and family members’ dogs, including my sister’s dogs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with them, playing, going outside, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Dogs tend to feel at home with me, and I always treat them like part of the family.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rafael is an incredibly responsible, dependable, and caring pet caregiver. He genuinely loves animals and treated my dog as if she was his own. He was attentive to Minney’s needs, especially needing intensive care. He was patient and trustworthy, which gives me great peace of mind while away. I would absolutely recommend Rafael to anyone looking for someone who will provide excellent care and plenty of love for their pets.
Rafael dogsat for me while I was out of town for a few weeks. I was really nervous to leave my dog for an extended period of time. He went out of his way to (over) communicate with me and sent me so many updates that I really felt comfortable knowing he was giving her so much attention. He was incredibly patient and caring with my dog and when I went to pick her up she didn’t want to leave. It’s safe to say I always have a sitter I can trust with Rafael!

Schedule
I work from home most days, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for and spend time with your dog throughout the day. I also usually stay in town on weekends, so I’m available for weekend care and boarding.

Safety, trust & environment
My home is dog-friendly and has a large, secure backyard where dogs can play, explore, enjoy some fresh air, or simply relax. I’ll make sure your dog feels comfortable, safe, and gets plenty of attention while staying with me.
