Friend of all creatures! (Yes, even tarantulas!)

Pet care experience

My speciality lies within felines, I've looked after cats with all types of needs and feel very confident around them ever since I can remember. I have cat sitting for awhile now and have several references I can happily rely upon. In terms of canines, I have in the past looked after a deaf German Shepherd and energetic whippet mix for a few days in their own home with no problems, same with an older American Akita and used to regularly do dog walking with a shelter. Whilst I have my cat fix, I deeply miss the company of dogs as the ones mentioned above have now passed over the rainbow bridge. I also love reptiles, rodents, and tarantulas so if you have any additional 'unusual' pets, fret not I can care for them too!

Rafael has been the best cat sitter I've ever had. I have never seen my cats so relaxed from day 1. I have come home to two very happy cats. Love the passport system as it made me feel less tense about leaving my babies. I will definitely use Rafael again.

I was very nervous and anxious about leaving Marlo at home all day. Rafael came to meet him, and immediately set my mind at rest. On the day, Rafael kept me updated with photos and videos, and really put my mind at rest that I’d left him in brilliant hands. Will definitely be requesting Rafael’s house visits again!

Safety, trust & environment

At this moment in time my garden is unsafe for canines, therefore am limiting my services to walking or visiting your home. If you would like reassurance about myself visiting your home I can show you my reviews on another site, and have reliable references who have used my services regularly and would be happy to speak with you.

Information Rafael N. would like to know about your pet

Please absolutely let me know if your furbaby has any medical conditions that need to be kept an eye on / medicated for, and even if they are in good health I will require vet details to be left in a place where I can see them or over text just in case. Long walks are not a problem, I may even run with those who know to stop when I say stop!

A typical day

This will all depend on what your dog likes to do as an individual! At this point I'm not accepting dogs in my own home due to an unsafe garden, so where we walk will be their local and familiar spots pointed out by yourself/selves. In terms of games at home, if you have a garden obviously fetch and tug of war will be on the table, inside games could include hide and seek either with myself and the dog or the dog and single treats! If your dog prefers to chill and not do much, then we can listen to music together, and maybe do a silly photoshoot which I'll send you the results of.
