Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

Hi. My name is Raeyna Barkatali, I am 26 years old and have a lovely 6yr old kitty named milo and my 2yr old mut Gus. I have an Associates degree in animal science from Carrington College.I am a former Emergency Veterinary Technician (6yrs experience) . I am eager to be your new pet sitter/dog walker! I have a passion for animals and would love to meet your fur babies! I will give them the care and comfort they need. I have a large fenced yard, 2 large breed cages, and a play pen. I have experience with crating dogs, walking extra large breeds and wheel chairs. This is my full time job so I will be available Monday-Friday and most weekends. They will get the much needed attention and tlc they need I have a fenced yard and good sized backyard they can run around in. For sleep, I have an extra large crate, a play pen or if you bring their bed they can sleep in that.

This is an emotional review. I had to take the decision to put a 6 month old kitten I had rescued, to sleep yesterday. Raeyna was there to say her final good byes. Six months ago I had rescued 3 kittens. One of those kittens (Scrappy) had severe developmental issues with his spine, hind legs, lower jaw and so on - extremely special needs. A month ago the vet had suggested euthenasia. We were administering a steroid medication, which was showing signs of success, so we were hopeful & not ready to let go. Meanwhile, we had a spring break vacation planned from long before we rescued the kittens. We were extremely nervous about leaving these kittens and going away for a week, our first time away from these little ones. This is the challenge that we put in Raeyna's hands. We had met with a couple of other providers through Rover. However, the meet-&-greet itself with Raeyna was very different. Her veterinary background made her very knowledgable about Scrappy's condition. She summarized a lot of what the vet had explained earlier. However, the most important aspect that shone through was her immediate connection with Scrappy and how she treated him. It was a burden off our shoulders as it seemed we had found someone extemely kind and capable to take care of the kittens while we were away. We had no idea what that would mean. Not only was Raena spectacular in managing the scheduled drop-in visits as per the Rover contract, she went over-&-above in so many ways. She immediately responded to an emergency when the other kittens had toppled over their automated food dispenser and unplugged their water pump. She kept an eye on Scrappy's condition and decided that she could not let him be when his condition deteriorated. With my permission, she took Scrappy for a secondary opinion at her place of work, a very reputed veterenary institution. Unfortunately, the blood work and x-rays confirmed the dire situation. Raeyna decided she was going to board Scrappy with herself so she could keep him more comfortable during what could be his last few days. It was unimaginable how much care Reyna and her family provided and how attached they were to Scrappy. Unfortunately, after we came back, it was evident that the steroids and pain medications were just prolonging the inevitable. When the day came, we said goodbye to Scrappy together. I write this review to suggest that, with Raeyna, you are getting someone who will take as much care of your loved one as you would. I will forever be indebted to her and and I am so glad to have found her on Rover.

First time dog owner and leaving our 5 month pup during thanksgiving break was a big thing for us. He was well taken care. He used to be intimidated around other dogs but came back brave, more welcoming to other dogs around him, enjoys walks more than previously. He was in trusted hands of Raeyna who took great care of our Costa 💕

Raeyna is wonderful, responsible, and kept our cats well cared for while we were away. Even visiting them multiple times on Thanksgiving Day.

Raeyna was so great to book in a pinch for a dog walk. She had great communication both beforehand to make a plan, and the day of so I knew she had picked up my dog in a timely fashion. I would definitely book her again.
