I have a fenced backyard and Lenny (my pup) to add to the fun. She’s a great companion to other dogs but also great for training.

Pet care experience

I’ve owned and trained two dogs from puppyhood—a Husky and my current German Wirehaired Pointer, Lenny. Training and building a strong relationship with my dogs has always been important to me. Having lived in the Roaring Fork Valley for over 12 years, I spend most of my time outdoors hiking, walking, and exploring. When your pup stays with me—whether for an hour, a day, or overnight—you can count on them getting plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention. They’ll come home happy, tired, and ready to snuggle.

Rafaelo was such a help to us and was able to come last minute! Our dog was happy and got the care/exercise he needed (plus great pics!). I’m so grateful for the help to make our day stress free!

Rafa was able to watch my dog last minute and I’m super happy I was able to meet him through rover! I was nervous bc I have never left Moe. with anyone but he put me at ease the moment we met he’s really good with dogs and he also has a pup which is great if your dog likes to play when I picked Moe up she was worn out!!

Rafa has always been a great pet parent and is responsible not only for his own pets but also for caring for others. He's spent significant time taking care of our dog and others as well. Highly recomend.

Rafa took Mila for the day and she came back tuckered out! Would highly recommend him because he makes sure that the dogs are out, very responsive and great about training.
