Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog lover and sitter
I’ve grown up at home with dogs my whole life including rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand the importance of patience and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Over the past 2 years, I’ve also helped my friend with Rover by assisting with walks, feeding, check-ins and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m confident handling all types of dogs and will always take time to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, regular exercise or extra patience and attention, I’ll make sure they feel cared, safe and happy while you’re away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’ve grown up caring for rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand how important patience, safety and trust are. I always take the time to learn each dog’s personality, and routine so they feel secure and comfortable in my care. Whether in your home or out on walks, I stay attentive and calm while making sure your pet has fun, gets plenty of attention and stays safe at all times
Ratings and reviews
Rafe has over and over again proven to be a star whilst looking after my German shepherd and Staffy, whether it has been staying at mine while I'm away, or helping out with walks when work clashes for me. I couldn't trust someone more to take care of my dogs and home when needed. Highly recommend!!

Schedule
I am a high performance athlete at the university and have a flexible schedule so I can make time throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime and keeping your pets company. I’m reliable, communicative and happy to stick to your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away.
