Pet care experience

Full care for your pet in Guildford

As a kid, I grew up surrounded by animals: horses, cats and dogs. I have always loved animals and have spent most of my life around them. This has taught me how to take the best care of dogs, from training them to entertaining them. I have Dog sitted several times in the past from periods ranging from 24h to 2 weeks. I have experience with puppies, old dogs, small, big, and many different breeds.

Rafaelle was an excellent sitter once again. She turned up promptly and we felt completely comfortable leaving Wilf in her safe and capable hands. Wilf is very fond of her! Thanks again Rafaelle!

Rafaelle was fantastic! We've never left Wilf with anyone other than a family member before now, so we were were a bit trepidatious about leaving him with a stranger. Rafaelle immediately put us (and him!) at ease - Wilf took to her straight away and seemed relaxed and happy with her. She sent us regular updates during the day (including a video of him rolling upside-down in the garden - a very happy dog!) and they went on a lovely long walk too. Thank you Rafaelle - we'll definitely be asking you to look after Wilf again! 😊

Rafaelle was great at looking after our Puppy Korra for us in our home. We would have no issues in booking her again.

Fantastic sitter. Raf gave us a sense of confidence from the moment we met her, we knew our dog would be in safe hands. Regular pup dates and happy dog pictures were much appreciated. She’s awesome and we hope she’ll be inclined to look after our dog again!

Rafaelle came to meet the dogs earlier before the day. She’s on time and had kindly agreed to come 15 mins earlier so I could run things with her before heading out. She gave regular update with photos. The dogs were relaxed around her when we were back. L

Schedule

I am a Phd student, working remotely. Being fully in charge of my schedule gives me a lot of flexibility, and allows me to fit many activities into my day to care for your pets, including long, frequent walks, playtimes, and training sessions.

Safety, trust & environment

I live close to Guildford centre right next to the river, giving me direct access to long walks along the river. I am also 10min away from Stoke Park, Recreational Park, and 15min from Shalford Park. I make sure I always know where your pet is, and regularly take time to interact with them and ensure they are comfortable and happy.

A typical day

I love to go on walks in the different parks around Guildford, and as an animal scientist I strongly believe in mental stimulation through regular play and a little bit of training. I try and make the walks at least 1h long, unless your dog has different needs.

It is important for me to know about your dog's habits and how they interact with other people and animals. They're typical behaviour, if anything makes them anxious or worried, or if they love to do anything in particular. If they are taking any medication I can administer it.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
