I would be with your pups around the clock! Most of my classes are online or flexible with my schedule, so I can provide as many walks needed and will be around all day for potty breaks. For past owners, I have been grateful that they trust me to take their pups on beach days so I always try to get at least 1 trip in during my time with them.

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every dog as if they’re my own; all dogs will be pampered with love, won’t leave my sight, and will make sure they are safe 24/7. If you have any routines or specific needs for your dogs, i will make sure they are followed.

Information rafi t. would like to know about your pet
Info that I need to know about a dog before hand is the type of mediciations they take, as well as their dietary needs. I want owners to be ensured that their dogs will be in good hands and the most important way is by understanding the dog's health! When it comes to walking, I would also like to know if the dog is reactive. I’m not that comfortable walking reactive dogs due to past experiences.
A typical day
I love going on walks on fire roads, visiting parks, or having a beach day with pups! Most of the families I have been helping out have enjoyed my photos of their dogs at Ocean beach, playing at Blackies Pasture, and going on long walks in Marin fireroads.

Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Rafi, your local dog nanny. I'm a full-time commuter student at SFSU and a lifelong dog lover looking to help families all over the bay for their pups! I grew up around labs and now have three rescue dogs of my own—a German Shepherd/Lab mix, a Pitbull/Catahoula, and a little Chihuahua mix. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I've been dog walking and pet sitting for family friends since 2018, but things really picked up during COVID when I was recommended to more and more people. Since then, I've practically been a full-time dog nanny! Most recently, I worked with an amazing local dog walking company based in Marin, but with school starting again, I have decided to branch off and find my own clients. I am willing to drive all over the bay area; my school schedule is flexible and I can easily work around it to be able to care for your pets. Whether your dog needs walks, check-ins, long outings, or overnight stays, I'm here for it all. I don’t just “watch” dogs; I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I can also provide references upon request! Hoping to meet you and your pup(s) soon!
Reviews
We have 2 English Mastiffs, who Rafi has cared for on a weekly basis for about 2 years now. What started out as dog walking turned into doggy daycare and overnights while we're away. Rafi has loved our girls and treated them like her own. She is kind and patient. Highly recommend Rafi for any pet related needs!
Rafi is wonderful! She loves loves loves all animals! It is apparent when you see how she responds to your animal an how your animal responds to her. My dog adores her! She is responsible and easy to communicate with. She always responds to your texts promptly. I would recommend her to anyone with any type of dog.
We used Rafi for 2 years to cat-sit our two Siamese overnight in our home. It was great because, as you know, cats prefer their routine in their environment!! Never had to stress or worry about them with Rafi! She kept the house neat, followed instructions, and sent cute pics to us occasionally to ease the separation. Highly recommend her!
Rafi and her family are wonderful! Our labradoodle loved going to their house and always came home happy and exhausted from a fun day of playing. Rafi is responsible, a good-communicator and her love of dogs is evident in the care she provides. Would recommend!
