Gentle Care. Happy Pets. Always.

Pet care experience

With over six and a half years of hands-on pet care, I bring a rare blend of experience, attentiveness, and heart. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing gentle, attentive care. What truly sets me apart is my ability to read and respond to animals’ unique personalities. I create a calm, consistent environment where pets feel safe, loved, and understood. Whether it’s administering medication, offering leash training for puppies, or providing low-stress companionship for older pets, I bring patience and skill to every interaction. I also have experience caring for a diverse range of animals beyond just dogs and cats. From chickens and birds to hamsters and other small pets, I understand that every species has its own rhythm, needs, and comfort cues. I’m confident and compassionate with unique, exotic, or less-common animals, always prioritizing their safety, emotional well-being, and daily routines.

Rackheem watched our dogs for the first time and we were very pleased with his service. During our meet and greet - He asked a lot of questions about the dogs, was very observant of them and very gentle with them. He sent us updates and pictures while caring for our dogs. He was also very polite and respectful during our interactions over the ph and in person. Would recommend him and utilize his services again.

Rackeeem was amazing! He took care of our house and our furry babies (a cat and a dog). He is great with animals. My cat is a very shy one. He always hides when I am away. But somehow, after eleven years I have him, he said hi to Rackeen, and also played with him! I highly recommend him.

Safety, trust & environment

In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining their pet’s normal routine and environment. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walking routes, medication routines, and preferred playtime activities—so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I also make sure the space stays tidy and respected while I’m there. If I’m hosting pets in my home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming space. I separate animals as needed, keep food and water fresh and clean, and ensure they have access to cozy rest areas and supervised play. I never leave pets unattended, and I’m mindful of their comfort, especially in a new setting. In both cases, I focus on creating a low-stress, high-trust atmosphere, and I keep pet parents updated with messages, photos, and honest communication throughout the stay.

Information Rackeem R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I love to learn all the little things that make them them. Please let me know about: • Any medical needs, medications, or allergies • Feeding schedules and treat preferences • Temperament and energy level • Triggers or fears (like loud noises or other animals) • How they do on walks or around new people/pets • Specific commands they know or are working on

A typical day

I live in a peaceful, pet-friendly neighborhood with plenty of space to explore—perfect for leash walks, outdoor play, and nature sniff sessions. I’m also close to a local dog park, so social pups can safely enjoy some off-leash fun (with owner approval). At home, I offer backyard playtime, fetch, puzzle toys, and enrichment games to keep pets mentally and physically engaged. For senior or chill pets, we’ll do relaxing walks, brushing sessions, and cozy hangouts under the sun or indoors.

Pet care is a built-in part of my weekly life. I’m highly flexible and genuinely enjoy working around each pet’s needs and schedule. Whether it’s early mornings, midday visits, evenings, or even late nights, I’m available and committed to making your pet’s care seamless and stress-free. I’m also happy to accommodate weekend bookings and unique timing requests whenever possible—just let me know what works best for you and your pet, and I’ll do my best to make it happen. Reliability, consistency, and clear communication are at the heart of everything I do.
