Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new best friend!
Accepting new re-occurring walk clients 7 days a week! Raya or Jena! New to Rover, but not new to pets! Hello! I have been training and handling dogs for almost 6 years now, throughout both Iowa and Illinois. I have worked with trainers, boarding facilities, daycares, and taken online courses. I now have been working privately as a walker and in home caretaker for over a year. Happy to say I’m a 5.0⭐️ on Wag, Rover, and have great reviews from all my private clients 💚 I do a lot of training and handling in sports and show with my own dog, a golden retriever, who is great with other animals and understanding a home dynamic. While I may not have a yard, I live next to the lake and love to go for walks in the park and carry a long-line leash for more freedom and fun!

Very patient with my nervous puppers!
Jena was awesome! Super communicative and loving to our cats, they were relaxed and happy when we got home—the sign of a great sitter!
Very friendly. Came when promised and sent photos to verify. Definitely recommend her.
Jena was great!! Sent updates and excellent at communicating. Would defuse her again!!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
This is my full time job, and I’m always on the go around the city to all the pets I love to see everyday! Hope to see you soon! I take visits and walks every day of the week and weekend, and I’m looking for more weekly scheduled pups to join my route. I operate on a “walk window” so I have a target time, and time that I may show up within (think 11am-1pm, target time 12pm) due to whatever the day may bring on.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I enjoy being around the animal I am with as much as possible, even if we’re just watching tv. I do encourage crate training in case of emergencies and hope to have a crate accessible in case it is ever needed, and I’ve had a lot of experience in handling food and medication for all types of dogs.
Pets
A typical day
I go out on walks and love to do enrichment and sniff games with dogs, and my girl Alice loves to have company! We do a lot of mental stimulation with both our dogs and cat.
