Dependable/trustworthy animal lover

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover since I was a small child. I've had a rabbit, basset hound, multiple chihuahuas, dachshund, chiweenies, black lab, corgi/pitbull mix, cats and other mix breeds. I would play with them in our yard a lot, feed them and bath them when needed. I currently pet sit regularly for a family which has a shiatsu, rescued chihuahua and a tuxedo cat. I love taking care of animals and want to share my love to help the community with animal care when needed.

I have a very shy and spoiled Great Dane who is a Mamas boy and has not been left with sitter for last 3 years. Vestie was very comfortable with Rafie at their first meeting. Updated us on Vestie while we were gone and worked to get him to eat, the house was perfect when we returned. Will definitely be using him again

Rafie is my son. He was raised in a family of animal lovers. We have had cats and dogs who have always been house pets. Our pets are part of our family and they have always been treated with love. Rafie has always enjoyed hiking, playing fetch, walking, jogging, snd cuddling our dogs. His dog, Maya is a well mannered, loving girl that is a reflection of how she is cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I currently live in an apartment close to parks and pet friendly areas. My road doesn't have a lot of traffic so it is great for walking animals. When I care for animals at a client's home, I am present and attentive with the animals and take them for walks when needed. I take dogs on walks or to a park if close by. I feed them during scheduled feeding times. I provide lots of cuddles and affection so they feel loved while their family is away. I also will take the extra time to help clean around the house, clean litter box and take garbage out if needed.

Information Rafie R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or requests that would need special care or attention. I am able to accommodate for most situations.

A typical day

There is a great park near by my apartment that is great for pets. I am also familiar with most parks in the Tacoma area that I can take them to if your house is close by. I also love playing with them inside if able or in your yard if you have one.
