Pet care experience

Reliable, Trustworthy, Easy

I love dogs and I’ve found they often pick up on this energy and reciprocate! I’m always stopping to say hi to dogs (with permission of course) when I’m out and about and have several neighborhood dog friends that I love to see while walking. I have cared for dogs from puppy to senior including those with some medical issues including loss of vision and hearing. My goal is to make sure your pet is as happy, comfortable, and fulfilled as when you are there. Playtime/walks/potty breaks or just some good old fashioned snuggling on the couch/bed, whatever you and your pets prefer. We will try make a plan around your pets’ regular routine to make it as easy as possible on them and you. You can expect regular communication/updates from me so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

My partner works from home so I am currently unable to offer pet sitting in my own home. We will create an individual care plan for you and your pets to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. *Please note: house sitting rate includes flexible ~8p-8a coverage. Daytime drop-in/walk services and (mostly) full-time coverage options are available. Please inquire for additional information. Thanks!

Raphael did a great job with my very shy cat. He is a good communicator and I’d recommend him to anyone

Raphael did twice a day check ins and meals for our two quirky dogs and a cat while we attended a wedding in California. He is amazing! Very communicative, made quick friends with our pets and managed 3 very different feeding and care instructions for 4 days. We would absolutely use him again!

Raphael was fantastic with my cat and elderly dog. He was communicative, respectful, on time, and most importantly, treated my precious fur babies as if they were his own. Highly recommend him! Thank you, Raphael!
