Availability

I’m single, a work from home school counselor, and have no pets of my own so I’m flexible to come to your space to do let your pet out, do long check-ins, walks, play, to overnight or extended stays. During the school year (August to Mid-May), I take a break from 12:30pm to 1:30pm and finish by 4 to 4:30pm. If you have wireless internet, I can bring my work with me so you have peace of mind your loved one can stay in their own space and not have any stress of being moved around.

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I do my best to make them feel at home and comfortable. I can bring their beds, toys, etc into my space and have a great, walkable area for them to explore all the smells. I am above a garage with a small porch that I can block off and hang outside with them. I love to love on your babies and introduce them to my local family and friends, especially my online students. My place is not huge, but I’ve hosted small to larger pets like labradors. For my clients, I have dropped in for a period of time, done overnights, extended stays, and even traveled and taken care of multiple pets and some farm animals to help them feel at ease knowing their babies are being taken care of like plant watering, egg harvesting, to mail and package pickup. I love to be around animals and work hard to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and a bit spoiled!

Information Raenell R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or allergies, their vet's information, and anything else that is helpful so I can ensure that they receive the best care and that their needs are fully met.

A typical day

Activities vary depending on your loved one's needs, if they feel nervous or anxious when they arrive, or if I do at your home. What I try to do is sit with them, pet them, and let them guide me in what they are ready for. If they feel comfortable, I will refresh their water, check if they need to go to the restroom or have had an accident (I'm sure to clean that up and refresh their potty pad or litter box), play with them, give them treatos, etc. I love talking to your babies, reading aloud to them, taking them for walkies, outside exploration, and many other things. If I'm watching them at home, I love to walk them around to explore, do their chuck-it in the nearby field, and love on them. My favorite thing is when we're headed to bed, I love to tuck them into bed with one of their toys and say goodnight. If you think I don't document all of this? Oh, I do and will send you pictures of your loved ones and sometimes videos too!

Pet care experience

I’m a single, remote worker with no pets of my own that’s got many pets in my life who I love! I’ve done pet sitting on both coasts ranging from elderly pets like dogs and cats to your non traditional like birds, goats, chickens, and pigs. I offer personalized services for your beloved family members like reading out loud, tucking them in for bed, taking them on hikes, out for a pup cup, play time, dressing them, to watching their favorite shows. Let me love your babies and I’ll show you a happy loved one!

Raenell is amazing with our dog and I do not have any reservations leaving Bella with her. I’m afraid word is going to get out and she will book up!

Raenell did a great job at our house for a dog sitting need we had for a long weekend. She has been great to work with since we first contacted her and very responsive both before and during her stay. Our dog was in great hands and our house was taken great care of. We definitely recommend Raenell and will reach out to her again!

Five star review five star sitter so thankful we found Raenell. Bella loves her and is very comfortable with her, so I’m at ease when I have to go away.
