About Rafa

(English below) Falo Português. Hablo Español.

Dein Liebling hat die VOLLE Aufmerksamkeit verdient OHNE Massenhaltung und Zwingern? Dann bist du bei Mir richtig!

Da Felder und Wälder praktisch vor meiner Haustür liegen und der Main nur 15 Minuten entfernt ist, gibt es viele Möglichkeiten, die Natur zu genießen. Ich habe sogar Erfahrung damit, die Katze eines Freundes an der Leine zu führen! 

Neben spannenden Spielen sorge ich für eine friedliche Umgebung, damit dein Liebling ausgeglichen ist. Ein fairer und geduldiger Umgang ist mir besonders wichtig.

Vor fünf Jahren half ich meiner Mutter (die 20 Minuten entfernt wohnt) bei der Betreuung eines Rudels mit etwa zehn Hunden. Dadurch habe ich Erfahrung gesammelt über die Körpersprache und Ausdruckverhalten diverser Hunderassen und Tierschutzhunde. Ich hatte die Ehre, mehrere Welpen großzuziehen und zu sozialisieren. Z.B. einen deutschen Schäferhund und Yorkshire Terrier.

Darüber hinaus konnte ich durch meinen ersten Familienhund, einen King Charles, der 12 Jahre alt wurde, wertvolle Erfahrung in der Pflege älterer Hunde und im Umgang mit deren Medikamenten sammeln.

Lebe alleine mit meinen Hund in einer Erdgeschosswohnung mit eingezäuntem Hof.

Arbeite in Gleitzeit und jeden Tag von zu Hause aus, was mir die Flexibilität gibt, meinen Zeitplan nach dem Gast auszurichten.

Mit meinem Hund gehe ich 4-mal am Tag Gassi. Am Nachmittag ca. 1 -2 Stunden im Wald je nach Wetterlage. Selbstverständlich kriegt ihr tägliche Fotos und Videos.

Kann mit allen "Special Effects" umgehen. Es muss nur kommuniziert werden, damit ich vorausschauend handeln kann, um Stress zu vermeiden.

Ich leite auch eine gratis Social Walk Gruppe Scheerwald/Goetheturm, mit wöchentlichen Treffen.

Freue mich darauf Dich und deine Haustiere kennenzulernen!


(ENGLISH)

Your pet deserves FULL attention WITHOUT mass rearing and kennels? Then you've come to the right place!

With fields and woods practically on my doorstep and the River Main just 15 minutes away, your pets will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy nature. I even have experience walking a friend's cat leashed!

Besides providing engaging games, I ensure a peaceful environment so your pets can regain their balance. A fair and patient approach is particularly important to me.

Five years ago, I helped my mum (who lives 20 minutes away) look after a pack of about ten dogs. This experience has given me knowledge about the body language and expressive behaviour of various breeds and rescue dogs. I have had the honour of raising and socialising several puppies. For example a German Shepherd and a Yorkshire Terrier.

Additionally, my first family dog, a King Charles who lived to be 12 years old, provided me with valuable experience in caring for senior dogs and managing their medication.

I work flexitime, working from home every day, which gives me the freedom to organise my schedule around the visitor.

I live alone with my dog in a ground floor flat with a fenced yard.

I walk my dog 4 times a day. In the afternoon about 1 -2 hours in the forest depending on the weather. Of course you will get daily photos and videos.

Can deal with any "special effects". You just have to tell me so that I can act with foresight to avoid stress.

I also run a free social walk dog group, Scheerwald/Goetheturm, with weekly meetings.

Looking forward to meeting you and your pets !
