Experienced Dogsitter &Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I am new to this platform but have been dog and house sitting for friends, neighbors, and family members for over 2 decades and have many recent local references available upon request. I have also spent countless hours volunteering for local rescue organizations and serving as a handler for adoption events. No matter the breed, special needs, age, or size, I will treat your precious fur baby like my own— I’m available to pet sit or conduct drop in visits in your home and to feed/ walk/ play with/ love on your pup. Currently, I’m a dog aunt to many pets, including a large lovable golden doodle who resides with me at home. Until I am a bit more permanently settled, dog sitting is a great way to get my animal lover fix while providing necessary and reliable care to your fur babies.

Rakhee was fantastic! She sent us multiple daily updates, with pictures and videos, and ensured the instructions provided were followed. She even gave a sweet handwritten note at the end of the visit - what a wonderful surprise! Mowgli came back happy and tired - a clear indication that enjoyed his time! We’ll definitely be boarding him again with her!

I have used Raakhee before and can’t say enough good things about her. She is punctual with her arrival times, flexible in her schedule, great with communication providing regular updates and pictures, respectful of my house, and amazing in her care of my dog. I don’t have to worry about a thing when I use her, and feel so lucky that I found her!

As usual, Raakhee knocks it out of the park, she's amazing and follows all instructions even when we have to change it last minute.

Raakhee was amazing with Bruno and Emilie. Right from the start, I could tell she was trustworthy. She kept me updated with messages and lots of pictures every day, which was so reassuring. When Bruno wasn't feeling well, she even got him some pumpkin to help his tummy, which was really thoughtful. She left the house spotless too. Overall, she's just a really nice person, and we can't wait to have her babysit again!
