“I’ve had Gwen take care of my cat for drop ins and house sitting. She is the best. My cat loves her. I can go on holidays and have no worries knowing that Gwen is taking care of her. Thanks Gwen for your help.”
“Annika R was the sweetest with our boy Frankie. It was the first time we left him with someone else besides us. She suggested a meet and greet and Frankie took to her right away. Annika is a great communicater and sent picture and text updates while we were gone. We will definitely be using her again! If you need a trust worthy sitter who loves animals she's your girl!”
“Erik was fantastic, great communication and actively engaged in asking questions about pet care and understanding their needs ahead of time. During the stay he put my mind at ease with pictures, updates, and made it much easier to be away from my pets and home. He was even able to make some last minute changes work and the animals loved spending time with him. Good vibes all around, definitely recommend! I will be booking with Erik again!”

My dog is pretty high energy, anxious and requires a lot of attention. Loryn took it all in stride and made it seem like no big deal at all. She kept me updated the entire week and sent pictures and videos and left my house in great shape. I will not hesitate to book her again.”

About: I've had pets my entire life. from dogs, frogs, fish, to bunnies. my dog breed experience is everything from huskies, German shepherd, Rottweiler and more. Plenty of time for pet needs during the day! But as of right now I am only boarding/daycare on weekends. Same schedule stands for everything else! Walks! Bathing! You name it! The Rae Paw patrol has you covered! I make sure things are out of animals sight and or reach. Being that I stay in an apartment I take pets out frequently. am to make sure they are separate from others
