Senior Veterinary Assistant

Hi, I’m Raeyna Barkatali. I’m currently a Senior Emergency Veterinary Assistant with 10 years of emergency and critical care experience, along with an Associate’s degree in Animal Science from Carrington College. I specialize in providing calm, attentive, one-on-one care for pets needing experienced supervision, including senior pets, post-operative recovery patients, pets requiring medication administration, and pets with special medical or mobility needs. My background in emergency veterinary medicine allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health while creating a safe, low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s individual needs. As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner to my cat Milo and dog Gus, I understand the importance of trusted, compassionate care and treat every pet as if they were my own

Raeyna was amazing! Cannot thank her enough when I asked for walks for my two dogs last minute. Shes very knowledgable and my dogs absolutely loved her. She was very understanding, responsible, punctual and informative. I cannot thank her enough and will be contacting her if I need my dogs walked again in the future.

This is the second time we’ve used Raeyna but the first time we’ve left our cats for more than a couple days. I am admittedly a crazy cat mom and was a bit nervous. Raeyna did a great job responding to my texts promptly and sent me pictures of both cats which helped put me at ease. This was greatly appreciated since one of my cats is fearful of strangers. Raeyna eventually earned her trust and even played with her! Everything was in order when we returned and our kitties came to greet us immediately. Thank you for taking good care of our kitties and putting up with an anxious cat mom!

Raeyna is responsible, trustworthy, comfortable handling large dogs and additional complexity.

Raeyna was amazing! She took our golden last minute and happily accommodated his feeding needs and administered medications. Her fenced backyard was perfect for running around. She sent many updates with pictures and videos, and we could tell our boy was comfortable and had a great time! Highly recommend Raeyna for any dog care/boarding needs!
