Care for yours as if it were mine!

Pet care experience

I have had 3 dogs so far in my life. Upon that experience I know how to treat one with respect and love. I also have good patience, so I will not get easily annoyed or aggravated. I get along with dogs well b/c I’m a friendly person & they are my favorite animal. I have dog sat my Girl friends dogs before & my friends dogs before while they were away. I attend classes at UNF but after class I’m looking to help out others when needed & make some extra money. My Available times are : Mon/Wed : before 10 am & after 4:15 pm Tues/Thurs : after 1:30 pm Friday : after 11 am Weekends : Free to help out whoever !

Rafael was kind to Bella! He spent time walking, playing and caring for her! In addition, he kept me updated on her activities and provided me with the picture! I was pleased to see that she was happy! I could tell that she had a good time because she slept in the car on the way home! If he is available I will request is sitting services again!

Rafael is one of the kindest, most caring, and most responsible kids that I know. He is also one of the hardest working, he sets very high expectations of himself when it comes to his academics, athletics and other activities. Most importantly though, is that he has the biggest heart, which is why I believe he is so good with both people and animals, especially dogs. Although he doesn't have a dog himself, he treats my dog Tyson like he is his own. He never hesitates to offer to walk him, feed him dinner or play with him outside. Rafael and Tyson enjoy each other's company so much, it's as if they speak the same language sometimes. There is no one that compares to Rafael's level of love and compassion for dogs and for that he has my highest recommendation.

Rafael has been close to our family for six years. I've seen him him as a student, athlete and friend. In all aspects he is exceptionally kind, smart and honest. I am always at ease when my daughter leaves the house with him because I know how responsible he is. In all the years I have known him. I have never met anyone in town who didn't share my opinion. Rafael is an amazing kid. It's not just the people who are crazy about him, the dogs are too. My 10 year old puggle can barely contain himself when Rafael comes through the door. He is by far my dog's favorite visitor. Other friends of mine said they can't wait to see the reaction from their yellow lab when Rafael comes home for Thanksgiving break. The dogs know a good thing when they see it. I highly recommend Raphael as dog caregiver, he is fantastic.

Rafael is an extremely compassionate and caring person. He loves pets, enjoys their company while caring for them. Hes shown to adopt to any environment while showing responsibility. Rafael has been a dog owner for many years, he owned up to 2 dogs and cared dearly for them. Becoming a pet owner has shown his maturity and love for animals. Rafael without a doubt will be an awesome pet sitter.
