Pet care experience

Love to always be around animals

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 :)

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!

Raena was amazing. I needed to travel for a family emergency and needed someone to check in on my boys with very short notice. She was very accommodating and really helped through a very stressful situation. Would definitely work with her again!

We cannot recommend Raena highly enough! She cared for our senior dog and three senior cats for two weeks while we were on vacation in Hawaii, and she exceeded every expectation we had. From the very beginning, Raena was dependable, attentive, and incredibly caring. She followed all of our instructions exactly, which was especially important since our pets are seniors and have established routines. Knowing they were in such capable hands allowed us to truly relax and enjoy our trip. She sent regular updates along with plenty of pictures, which meant so much to us while we were so far from home. It was wonderful to see our pets looking comfortable, happy, and well cared for each day. When we returned home, everything was just as we had left it. Our house was clean and tidy, and our pets were calm, content, and clearly had been given lots of love and attention. It's obvious that Raena genuinely cares about the animals she watches and treats them as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who is trustworthy, responsible, compassionate, and communicates well, Raena is the perfect choice. We are incredibly grateful for the exceptional care she provided and will absolutely book with her again in the future. Thank you, Raena, for taking such wonderful care of our furry family while we were away!

Raena arrived on time and had wonderful comminucation before, during and after our drop-in! Our pup is 85lbs with alot of anxiety and outdoor triggers but Raena was able to work with him no problem. She followed all notes and tips to a T and I would absolutely have her back in the future. Thanks so much!

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.

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!

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!
