Pet care experience
We've taken care of small and medium dogs since we were very young. Now that we have a small furry friend of our own, we have space, time and love to pamper yours.
Reviews
Rafaelina and her family have created a dog utopia! Their large backyard is basically an obstacle course for pets. They are very kind people and know what they are doing, how to treat dogs with unique personalities, and how to make all pets comfortable. Our pet had his first 'staycation' with Rafaelina over the weekend and it seems he had a great time.
My dog, Stella had her very first onboarding session with Rafaelina. Rafaelina had an immediate connection with Stella and I felt comfortable to leave my dog. I was sent several pictures during the stay and all my special asks were accomplished. My dog had a great time playing with other dogs in her large backyard and I had a peaceful time at work.
Rafaelina is an amazing sitter! Our dog Riley seemed to really enjoy her time there, and we loved all the photos and updates during her stay. Rafaelina is responsive and very helpful. We’re looking forward to Rafaelina being a recurring sitter for our dog! Highly recommend!
Reggie was well taken care of and happy while staying with Rafaelina. She was excellent at keeping us informed and sending photos daily. Would definitely rebook with her in the future.

A typical day
Fist thing in the morning we take a walk for about half an hour or more depending on your dog. There is a walk around mid-day and they are always free to go into the yard since we leave the connecting door open for them. During rain time Ellie is happy to play inside running around and throwing her ball. Evening walk for about a hour where we go through special back roads and near a lake where you dog can pick up lots of new scents. At the end of the day your dogs may sleep in their bed or crate if they please and if their used to it they may sleep in one of our beds.
