Reliable Dog Care You Can Trust!
Hi! My name is Rafaela. Caring for dogs is truly one of my biggest passions. I’ve spent years learning about dog behavior, structure, routines, enrichment, and positive training techniques. I currently have a Border Collie who is fully trained in obedience, tricks, toy names, and leash manners. So I understand the patience, consistency, and love that dogs need to feel safe and thrive. I’m calm, reliable, and extremely attentive. Whether your dog needs playtime, structure, quiet company, or training-minded care, I adapt to their personality. I can work with puppies, high-energy breeds, shy dogs, and dogs who need extra guidance. My goal is for your pup to feel comfortable, stimulated, and well-cared for while you’re away. Your dog will always be treated with the same kindness and respect I give my own. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and happiness come first! I create a calm, structured environment with plenty of outdoor time, walks, enrichment games, and mental stimulation. I never let pups get bored, trust me! We explore, play, learn, and stay active while keeping routines consistent and safe. Besides being a dog sitter, I offer training services. (Please inquire about my availability and prices.)
Ratings and reviews
Rafaela is such a pleasure to work with and more importantly she’s fantastic with our Duke! Also a huge bonus that she trains dogs as she keeps up with his training. I would absolutely recommend her for all your dog needs! 10/10
Rafaela was very patient and kind with my pups. She showed up promptly and you can tell that she loves these animals. Very attentive and thorough. Would definitely book her again! Thank you
Rafaela is wonderful! She stepped in to substitute for my regular sitter who was away on vacation and did an amazing job. She's reliable, professional, and great with Sage. The regular updates and peace of mind she provided were unmatched. Five stars ⭐️
Rafaela is 100% reliable and reinforced training while walking Rocco. She also checks in to let me know if she notices his behavior is different. I feel like she is taking care of my dog; more than just giving him a walk
Wonderful.. my dog loves her! She’s always on time and does a great job with my dog
She’s wonderful with our dog and I love the photos I get!
