Hi my name is Raphael Cardoso. I was born in Curacao but my parents are Brazilian! I’m 20 years old and have had pets my entire life, I also have 8 years of experience pet sitting and dog walking. 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. 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!!

Raphael was amazing with our dog Ron. Ron often struggles with separation anxiety, but Raphael managed it so well…we were so impressed with how fast Ron could relax and enjoy his time at Raphael’s place. Highly recommended, Ron will definitely be back for more cuddles 🥰

Hele fijne ervaring! Wij vonden het in eerste instantie heel spannend om onze hond achter te laten, de constante foto’s en updates waren heel fijn!

Raphael kept me informed and send me lots of pictures! He obviously loves dogs, and he is flexible. Overall, Luna was happy, so it was a very good experience.

Raphael is lief, vriendelijk en netjes. Communiceert goed, komt afspraken na en houdt je altijd op de hoogte. Belangrijkste de omgang met je hond, die was top !! Raphael is een aanrader.

Ralph use to live in my neighborhood here in Curacao. Anytime I would go back to the states, he would always be eager taking care of my dogs. They were always happy to see him. Some people just have that vibe that dogs get excited to be around. Ralph would show up and I knew my dogs would be good for the time I was gone. Ralph was one of only two people that I've trusted to watch my dogs while I was away. Anything that my dogs needed from food to recreational, he would be there for them. So, Netherlands...if you want a true dog lover and care-taker, Ralph should be your go-to.
