Pet care experience

Avid lover of all pet types!

Owning a variety of pets myself, I am capable of caring for a number of different pets! If left a list of instructions, I am not close-minded to new experiences. I currently have 1 dog, a hedgehog, and recently had one bearded dragon, and have had other pets in the past. I am extremely responsible, and will be available for daily walks, drop-ins, and overnights at the owner's. I am also comfortable teaching basic leash training with positive reinforcement. My other job occupies 8 hours of my day; however, I keep an excellent line of communication and can adjust to accommodate my clients. I am flexible with my services and payments (I accept cash, Venmo, or Apple Pay). Please connect for further questions! With my services, your fur-babies will be treated as family members to ensure their maximum comfort! It would be an honor to connect with you and get to love on your pets!

Raelyn is amazing! Your pet will want to move in with her. She is so kind and responsive, and took wonderful care of my incredibly challenging, stubborn senior basset hound. Provided wonderful updates photos and videos. Cannot recommend her enough!

Raelyn was great! Super responsive in her communication leading up to the booking and while we were away and she was checking in our pup! She loved on our dog so much and couldn’t have been happier about that! So many great videos, photos, and small things truly made it great having Raelyn in our home checking on Bella while we were away! Couldn’t recommend Raelyn enough!!!!

Raelyn loves dogs! When we are out in public it is almost impossible for her to not stop and ask someone about their dog and if she can pet them. She spoils her dog royally and would do the same for any dog she could. You won’t regret considering her to care for your dog!!🐾

Schedule

I work in Costa Mesa Monday- Friday in the early mornings until 1pm. After work I am free to care for your pets! A typical afternoon for my dog includes a long walk around town, a nature park, and the beach. We have play time in the dog park where we burn out zoomies and work on obedience and performance skills. By night time my boys are ready for cuddles and their bedtime snack. Though this is my routine, I am very flexible and eager to adapt to the best routine for your pets while under my care! ◡̈

Safety, trust & environment

At the moment, I do NOT accept paw-cations (when a pup sleeps over in my home) because my dog is going through obedience/ reaction training. In no way will I risk the safety/ comfort of another family's pet during my services. During drop-ins and overnight stays, your pets will be loved as if they were my own! My personal fur-babies are treated as my "children"; this is behavior is a guarantee while I tend to others' pets as well. My intent is to replicate (as closely as possible) the owner's behavior, so that minimum stress is brought upon pets!

Pets

A typical day

Throughout the day, I work with my dog repeatedly to encourage excellent behavior and a strong bond between us. Extended walks, outside play, and car rides are apart of my daily routine with my fur-babies! Though these are the activities my dog enjoys most, I have no issues sharing in your pets favorite activities too! Pup cups, or anything else that’s part of your routine is something I hope to accommodate while your pets are under my care! ◡̈
