Pet care experience

Love them all!

I’m a lifelong animal lover who grew up around dogs and has been caring for cats for the past 7 years. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Animals don't scare me, we just need to give them some space and respect their boundaries. Being calm around them always helps so they know they're not under threat.

Being a pet sitter myself, I was always very picky when it was time to choose someone to take care of my pets and I was very fortunate to meet Rafael. His experience with cats and dogs and his patience with my super forward Golden Retriever and my grumpy Ragdoll impressed me since the first time we met. Since then, he has been the only one I trust to take care of them and I am very happy to know that from now on Rover users will also have access to his excellent services too.
