Dog lover with love to share!

Pet care experience

I have loved animals my whole life☺️. Growing up with cats was a very special experience and I learned to understand cats nonverbal cues. As soon as I graduated from undergrad I decided to fulfill a life long dream and get a dog (Lilly, a very cute and goofy golden doodle). Lilly is definitely one of the best things to happen to me these past few years! I am waiting to start a fulltime job and in the meantime I have some free time on my hands. It would be great to do what I love - meet some new pets!

If you have had the good fortune to leave your dog or cat in the care of Raphaela, you know that you’d be hard pressed to find a more responsible and caring individual. Having had both dogs and cats herself, Raphaela understands that each pet is precious and unique. She will not only fulfill any required tasks (such as feeding, walking, administering medications, etc), but she will go the extra mile to form a connection with your pet and make sure that he or she feels safe, happy and secure in your absence. As an added bonus, Raphaela is a wonderful photographer so you will receive fabulous pictures of your pet looking like he or she is hardly missing you at all.

I would recommend Raphaela as she really cares for the dogs that she watches. She watched my dog and sent me pictures of how she was doing, which I enjoyed seeing. She has a lot of experience walking and watching many different types of dogs.

Raphaela not only loves dogs, they love her back! She is a magnet for them and they sense her kindness and love. Anyone who is lucky enough to have her walk their dog can count on a wonderful pet lover.

Raphaela has helped me many times walking my dog and helping with food. She is wonderful with him and you can see how much she loves the dogs. He’s always very happy to see her. She is wonderful with him. Thank you.
