About Rafaela
Hi, i'm Rafa and i am passionate for animals. I've been a vet surgeon for over 10 years and have huge clinical experience. I am taking a break from work to focus on advanced studies but cannot be away from animals so decided to petsit. It has been a fantastic experience to be on this side, minding them and loving them on a different way :)
I've had animals all my life, mainly cats ;) My last pets were Camões, my cat, and Naná, the little pequinese. Unfortunetly both of them have passed and i've been focusing all this love on my client pets and more recently on our house cat, Polly, which isn't mine but keeps choosing me as if I were :)
I am a vet surgeon, specialized in feline medicine but love all animals. Know how to recognise abnormal behavoral patterns, administre medications and give a more complete insight on a service that sometimes is not as simple as it looks like. I am a very empathetic person and feel animals sense that, usually bond very easily as used to read their emotions and needs.
I'm happy to offer the different services at my place or at yours, depending on the convenience, prices are the same, unless your house is further from the 15km radius and if that is the case, price should be discussed. Boarding, petsitting and dog walks are the services i provide. If you need something more specific please do not hesitate in contacting me. I have a very flexible approach, so most of the times an arrangement can be achieved.
