Hi! 👋 my name is Raphael Cardoso, I was born in Curacao but my parents are from Brazil! I am 21 years old and have had pets my entire life. I also have 8 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. I started pet sitting when I was 12 and I took care of 2 medium/large sized dogs. The first time I did it I fell in love with pet sitting!! I currently live in a apartment with my brother and one roommate, both also love pets! I have taken care of many different sized dogs and many breeds too, I also took care of cats and love them! I normally walk dogs for one hour, I also bring them to dog parks if they're friendly and feel playful! Whenever I do drop in visits I stay between 30-60 minutes to feed them, let them out (or change the litter) and play with them! I can also manage and handle dogs that need a special diet or need to be let out more often, walking in the rain is no problem for me! After all I have a pretty good rain jacket 😆 My mother is the person you can thank for giving me a lot of knowledge on how to take care of animals, and how to take in account their feelings and emotions to make sure they feel comfortable around you. The main reason I’m on this app is because I really miss my dogs and cats back home. 🥲 So I would be more than happy to provide you the service of taking care of your pets!!
