Professional Dog Lovers!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Raffi :) We are a husband and wife team with a passion for animals and excellent customer service. We are so excited for the opportunity to meet your dog and make them feel loved and happy when you´re away for school or work. My husband Taylor, our 1 year old son Jax and I have our own dog (a small yorkie) as well so when you´re puppy comes over they will immediately have a playmate! We recently moved to a house with a big fenced yard, its the perfect space for puppies to run around and live their best life while their mom/dad is at work or on vacation. I have a passion for animals and the dream is to someday have a ranch so I can rescue ALL the dogs! lol :) I promise to provide constant videos and pictures of your fur baby´s day/visit, and to treat them like I would want someone to treat my own. I work from home in the evenings so you don't have to worry about your dogs being home alone without potty breaks because I am always here! My husband is a full time dog sitter/walker/trainer in Dallas uptown/turtle creek/greenville area so he is super excited about us doing Rover as well! :) I cannot say that I have years of professional pet sitting experience (yet!), but I do have 10+ years of professional child care experience watching young (human) babies from newborns to 11 years old. Having lived at different houses as a nanny where they also had dogs of all different shapes and sizes I would become so attached to them and would take them on walks and make sure they were fed and give them some love and attention too even if it wasnt exactly part of my babysitting job description at the time. I have a very strong sense of empathy towards animals and have a special place in my heart for all the pets I get to meet. :)

Raffi was amazing with Blake! She sent so many pictures and Blake looked so happy and excited in every single one!! I was super stressed about leaving Blake while we were gone far away but as soon as I dropped her off I was immediately relieved! We will definitely be bringing Blake back even for play dates

Rafaela was simply incredible for Floop! She is so understanding about his needs, sent me multiple pictures to show how happy he was, and really just embraced him as part of the family - Floop even got to play with the family and hang out in bed with them! He loved their backyard, adored their pup, and truly felt so comfortable, as evidenced by his happy, goofy expressions in every picture (he was even belly-up and asking for rubs in some of them!) When it comes to small pups and their (often over-worried) parents, Rafaela is my very first pick, every single time.

I left my 3 month old puppy with Rafaela while I was away at a work conference. I was so nervous to leave her at an unfamiliar home with strangers. Let me tell you, I had nothing to worry about. In the first couple of minutes at Raffi’s house, Peppa (my dog) felt at home. Raffi and her husband are warm and competent. She sent me pictures every couple hours so I didn’t have to worry at all, or wonder if Peppa was okay. At the end of a long day, I picked up a very happy, tired pup. I’ll definitely be re-booking with her! Absolutely recommend!
