Raphael dog trainer🐾🐶 😻

Hi families, 🐈🐶

Greetings and blessings to all, I introduce myself, my name is Raphael Silva, I am a person with years of experience as a dog trainer, and a big fan of pets, and we perfectly understand canine and feline language, I live in this beautiful city that is Gold Coast, along with my beautiful and exemplary family.

My wife and I are professionals, and we teach online classes from home to our country of origin, my wife is a nurse and I am an engineer, my 15-year-old daughter does home schooling and we are generally always at home, so your pets will be always cared for and watched 24/7, we are an honest, educated, sincere, responsible, empathetic and organized family and animal lovers.

We don't smoke, we don't consume alcohol, we just enjoy being at home watching a movie or working on our laptops.

We know how important your pets are because we have our furry children in our home country and we know what they mean.

We have a current police check and verifiable reference telephone numbers.

We have very good references and we have years of experience taking care of houses 🙏🐈🐶.

At your entire disposal

We absolutely recommend Raf Caren and Fran for any pet sitting needs!! They were outstanding at every level !!! The care, kindness and generosity they gave our pets and home was unbelievable. They gave us daily updates and pictures of our pets and really gave them so much attention care and love. They respected our house and left it in beautiful condition. We left our car with them and that was also left in safe hands. Our pets really bonded with Raf, Caren and Fran. I ... MORE
 
OLIVIA (Varsity Lakes QLD, Jul 2024 - 2 weeks)
Eternally grateful, happy and satisfied with Raphael, Caren and her daughter Fran, they were able to help me take care of my furry babies, and they sent me beautiful photos and videos. They left my house PERFECTLY clean and tidy even better than I left it. They are FANTASTIC and I highly recommend them. They had told me about a bad experience they had before and they were very sad and disappointed, but I can only say that they are very polite, honest, responsible and very clean, I will ... MORE
 
PAM (Currumbin QLD, Oct 2024 - 3 nights)
I wasn’t going to leave a review but I felt others should know. They took care of our babies, sent through photos and took them for walks twice a day. However upon returning from overseas, we noticed our floors were dirty, the back door was wide open as if giving the dogs access of their own free will - and no one was home. Our bins were full with rubbish and flies in the recycle bin with a thrown out towel full of vomit - unexplained. I had to clean our shower. Our Golden boy was overweight ... MORE
 
KARTYA (Coombabah QLD, Oct 2024 - 2 weeks 3 nights)
Really a big disappointment. Totally disagree with what she mentions. As a family I am not going to allow ONE person to obscure all the great work we have been doing in House Sitting. Kartya has had a disappointing, strange, negative and not very grateful attitude towards us. Upon arriving at the ... MORE
Another great experience - always our first choice to look after our dog and home when we go away. They stayed an extra night and waited until we got home so our dog wouldn't be left alone. The house was in perfect condition and our dog was very happy and relaxed. Thank you so much :)
 
GEORGIE (Elanora QLD, Oct 2024 - 3 nights - 1 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
I would fully recommend Raphael and Caren. They looked after our home like it was their own. Our Fur babies loved them and we got daily updates on how they were doing, with the most amazing photos. Especially as most of our fur babies are rescue animals (cats, dogs and a bird), they all have trust issues and special needs. One of our babies is blind from birth, another is very old (18 years), throw in a skin condition, a bird that can’t fly and a few anxiety issues. My babies are use to having ... MORE
 
JANE (Mudgeeraba QLD, Sep 2024 - 4 weeks)
I cannot express my gratitude and happiness that Raphael & Caren were looking after my boy. From the moment we confirmed communication has been fantastic, I got photos and vidoes every day and it made my heart happy to see my boy having such a good time. OUr home was cleaned better than I do it when we got home and I would not hesitate to book them for everytime I need - I hope they willl be available. Thank you Raphael, Caren and Fran, Jasper loved you and pined for you after you left waiting ... MORE
 
KATHERINE (Robina QLD, Aug 2024 - 1 week 4 nights)
Raphael and Caren did a wonderful job with looking after my dogs and house. They came and met before the house sit so we could go through the details and you could tell the dogs loved them straight away. While house sitting, they sent photos and communications on how things were going. When I came back the dogs were happy and healthy, and the house was cleaner than when I left. I would highly recommend Raphael and Caren for any future house sits
 
STEVE (Palm Beach QLD, Aug 2024 - 3 nights)
Fantastic guests. Left the house in great condition, washed all sheets and kept us updated with pet photos, which was nice. Highly recommended. Thank you so much.
 
RICHARD (Gaven QLD, Aug 2024 - 1 week)
We had an excellent experience with our pet sitters Raphael & Caren and her daughter Fran! They took care of our doggies while we ware away for 4 weeks, and we couldn't be happier. They were incredibly nice and attentive, providing regular photos and videos of my furry friends, which put our mind at ease. In addition to taking excellent care of my pets, they also looked after our place very well. We highly recommend Raphael & Caren! to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter. ... MORE
 
PAUL (Varsity Lakes QLD, Jun 2024 - 4 weeks)
Words cannot express how grateful we are to have found such a lovely family. Raphael and his beautiful wife and daughter took the most amazing care of our precious dog and home. Raphael and his family house sat for us last year and we knew that we would want to use him again this year. it nearly didn't happen as Raphael is currently without a car and we were too far away. We resolved this by happily lending Raphael our car while we were away! We came home to a sparkling clean house and car and, ... MORE
 
LORRAINE (Robina QLD, Jun 2024 - 5 nights - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
We have been lucky to have this family to look after our home and dog a few times now. We leave our car for them to use for things like groceries or taking the dog to the beach and they always take beautiful care of everything. They are very responsive and accommodating and our dog loves them so much she cries when they leave! We are grateful to have people we can trust to take care of things while we are away. Thank you!
 
GEORGIE (Elanora QLD, May 2024 - 3 nights - 2 of 3 endorsements from this owner )
Rafael and his beautiful wife and daughter took amazing care of our little furry guy who’s very spoilt and part of the family! We were away for 3 weeks and everyday they sent some photos or videos to us via WhatsApp. We felt very comfortable always and did not worry at all whilst away. We thank them so much for the care, honesty and kindness. Look forward to seeing them again soon 🙂 Thanks again 🙏🙏
 
AKU (Hope Island QLD, Sep 2023 - 3 weeks)
Rafa, Karen and Fran done a great job looking after Loki and the house during our trip, we are so happy, we felt very comfortable leaving Loki with this family. Excellent communication, both before and during the trip. They were very understanding of our needs and sent us daily updates which we really appreciated. Loki had so much love and cuddles. They are respectful, nice and trustworthy, I would definitely recommended and contact them again in the future. Thank you so much guys, we really ... MORE
 
GRACE (Elanora QLD, Aug 2023 - 2 weeks 14 nights)
Raphael and his wonderful family took care of our home and precious fur baby for 3 weeks. We were sent regular updates of his daily cuddles and it was so reassuring to know that the house and Alfie were in great hands. Raphael and his family appreciate that your house is your home and treated it with the utmost respect and care. We came home to a house sparking clean, everything in order and a very contented pet. We are very grateful 🙏
 
LORRAINE (Robina QLD, Jul 2023 - 3 weeks - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Raphael, his wife Caren and daughter Francesca did a wonderful job looking after our Weimaraner puppy Winnie and our home for 6 weeks while we were overseas. They loved and cared for Winnie just as we do and they sent us lots of updates so we could see how happy she was. They took great care of the house which was spotless when we arrived home. Raphael was very responsive, accommodating and reliable and I would highly recommend him and his family to anyone looking for a pet/house sitter - we ... MORE
