Experienced foster, sitter & owner!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years and started dog walking neighborhood dogs when I was 10. I have my own rescue dog now. I have fostered rescues of all ages, temperaments and sizes. I have a lot of experience working with shy rescue dogs. I work full-time from home, and am lucky to have a job where I am able to take my dog and others on long walks throughout the day. We also take plenty of play breaks! I am able to take dogs out during the week as often as every 2 hours and as often as needed on weekends. I have one very sweet female 2 year old 20lb dog to keep your pup company in my home! In my home, I ask that you provide any beds or crates your pup typically uses at home. I will follow any schedule you provide for me to care for your pet. I will always keep your dog on leash and will only take them to public places after consulting with you first. I also ask that you share with me any fears, quirks or preferences your dog may have so I can make sure I am keeping your pet happy and safe.

Raffaella is the best dog sitter and care person that I know at this moment. She take care of my dog even better than I do, I feel very confident of her and I always will be back. She even got me some beautiful pictures of My dog to update me on and what he was doing day and night. Beside that, she’s a very cute awesome person a very nice human being and I love her services and I always will come back definitely… I totally recommend her to take care of your pet. Thank You Raffaella!!!

Raffaella is one of few people who I would trust leaving my dog with for an extensive perioid of time. She is a natural caretaker and will take great care of your dog! She will treat your dog as her own and send photos and updates. She has experience fostering and taking care of dogs of different temperments, as well as the experience of having her own dog, and being a full time dog mom. I couldn't recommend her more!

Raffaella is a fantastic dog sitter! She is responsible and organized, and really has a talent with animals. Would hire her again, for sitting or walking!

I have never seen someone take better care of a dog. Raffaella is intentional about walks and keenly aware of her surroundings and what may be a trigger for the dog especially in nyc. She even takes time to wipe the paws before returning inside! Her own dog gets up to three walks a day!! You would have full peace knowing your dog is full smiles during their time with Raffaella.

Information Raffaella G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs/preferences. I will do my very best to make sure I accommodate for all their needs and adjust my schedule properly. Please let me know if they are on a special diet, take medications or have any special preferences or things we should avoid. I strive to make sure your pet will be in a safe, fun and loving environment while you are away!

A typical day

I will make sure your dog gets plenty of stimulation through games, puzzles, walks and exploring Astoria park! My dog loves to play but also know when to give some space to a more reserved dog so she will be good company for your pup.
