I recently just graduated from SUNY New Paltz and have moved back home to Rochester! Now that I am back home I am continuing to work at the pet boarding facility that I did in high school. Aside from that I am quite flexible and would absolutely love to spend my free time taking care of and loving your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

Currently, I am living at home with a family member who is allergic to dogs and cats, so I am unable to take pets into my own home at the moment. However, I would love to take care of your pets in their own home environment, that they are familiar with and feel safe in. Please inform me of any of your pets medical conditions, allergies, or medications in order to ensure they are at their safest. I am able to accommodate to any of your pets needs in order to make them feel safe, comfortable and happy!

Information Raena C. would like to know about your pet

I love dogs and cats of all breeds and personalities, and have experience with taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds! However, I would appreciate being told about any of your pets medical conditions, allergies, or medications (not that it will necessarily prevent me from taking care of them). I also like to know if they tend to be an escape artist, because although I am always careful, some pets are determined! And of course, feel free to tell me anything and everything you think is important that I know!

A typical day

I’m open to do any activity that your dog particularly enjoys! In general, I will take your dog on sniff walks, play with their favorite toys with them, and cuddle with them! If you would like I could do training sessions with them as well (just keep in mind that I am not a trainer!). Please let me know your pets typical routine, including their favorite toys, treats, hobbies, etc :)

Love to always be around animals

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals and grew up with family dogs along with taking care of family and friend’s pets since I was young. I have worked at a pet boarding facility since May 2021 and have gained many skills in playing, feeding, medicating, and cleaning up after dogs through the years. I have worked with all kinds of dogs from puppies, to seniors, to coach potatoes, to reactive pups, to scaredy cats, of all different breeds and love them all :)

Raena wad an ABSOLUTE GODSEND! I couldn't survive the week without her. I am gutted that she wont be available during my 2nd trip to Rochester. My boy absolutely adored her. All the good things you can think, she is.

Raena was great watching my older dog. She provided several updates and didn’t worry at all while away on my trip.

Raena was absolutely great with my goofy, spunky 3 year Labrador. Will absolutely use her again!
