Our care philosophy
At Rafferty's, we understand that your dog is a member of your family. That's why we prioritize creating a warm, comfortable, and secure environment that mimics the feeling of home. Your dog will sleep wherever they feel most comfortable in our house. We maintain their routine as much as possible, ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay. Daily pictures and video updates are sent to the owner.
