Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or cuddle breaks. I’m available on weekdays and some weekends, and I make sure to schedule potty breaks, walks, and check-ins regularly so pets stay happy and comfortable. Since I love being active and spending time outdoors, daily walks and drop-in visits fit seamlessly into my lifestyle.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can relax, play, and follow their usual routines. I keep a close eye on them, offer frequent potty breaks, regular walks, and plenty of affection. I make sure they have clean water, scheduled meals, and a cozy space to rest. When I’m in your home, I respect your space and follow your pet’s normal routine closely, whether that’s walks at certain times, specific feeding instructions, or keeping their favorite spots tidy. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel at ease while you’re away. For all pets, I give individualized attention based on their age, energy level, and personality, whether that’s extra playtime, gentle care for seniors, or patient attention for shy animals.

Information Raines A. would like to know about your pet

Before booking, I like to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can give them the best care possible. For dogs, I ask that they are house-trained, non-aggressive, and comfortable around new people and environments. I’m not able to accept dogs with a history of violent behavior, excessive reactivity, or destructive habits. Basic manners and leash skills are important so we can enjoy walks and playtime safely. For cats, I prefer cats who are generally friendly or relaxed. They don’t have to be super outgoing — shy cats are totally fine — but they should be comfortable with gentle interaction and able to adjust to new people. This helps me make sure every pet I watch has a safe, positive, and stress-free experience.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, happy, and engaged while they’re with me. Depending on their personality and energy level, we’ll enjoy daily walks, playtime with their favorite toys, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For dogs who love the outdoors, I incorporate longer walks, fetch sessions, or playful tug-of-war to keep them moving and mentally stimulated. For more laid-back pups or senior dogs, we’ll enjoy relaxed strolls and cozy cuddle time. With cats, I bring out interactive toys, laser pointers, or gentle play to match their comfort level — and for the shy ones, I give them space and quiet companionship until they warm up. No matter the pet, I make sure our time together is fun, safe, and tailored to their unique personality

Loving, Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve raised and trained puppies, cared for senior pets with special needs, and understand how to adjust my approach for different temperaments and energy levels. I’m equally comfortable with playful pets who love attention and shy animals who need extra patience and gentle care. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic care, and keeping pets on their routines to help them feel safe and comfortable. I also regularly volunteer at animal shelters, which has given me the chance to work with a wide range of breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether it’s a dog who loves long walks, a cat who enjoys quiet company, or a small pet that needs special attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own.

Raines took great care of my senior fearful standard poodle. He is very responsible and followed all my requests. I’ll definitely leave Coco with him again.
