Boarding • ene. 10, 2023

I am so incredibly happy that we booked with Rafael and his wife. They have provided the best care I have ever received through Rover. I received pictures for every walk of the day, sleepy pictures, and playing pictures. Updates while I was away and fast response anytime I reached out. Our dog got to play with their dog under their care as well and he seemed to feel right at home. My dog can be a little bit anxious when we leave him and it seemed like he felt so comfortable and loved while we were gone. Highly recommend their care, I know we will be booking again in the future!

Rafael is great with my dog! She absolutely loves him! He takes her on regular walks and also keeps her for me when I am away on vacation. I really trust him and my dog is always well cared for and happy with him! He is responsible and friendly! He gives me regular updates with photos when he pet sits for me which I appreciate.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat my pets as I would my own child. I understand that pets are part of the family and I promise to treat them as such. I have a pup of my own and my wife and I love her dearly. I promise i will treat your pet as if he/she were my own because I know how important they are to you and you’re family.
