Pet care experience

I'll treat your pets as my own

I have had dogs, cat, birds and other animals over the years, and I always connect with pets. I have been professionally dog training & sitting and cat as well for many years. I have dealt with dogs with separation anxiety, I have also trained some to get rid of the anxiety, and I'm experienced in training puppies. I will treat your pets as if they were my own :) Contact me for a meet and greet, and feel free to reach out and ask me for references. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :

Rakan is great with my dog and she always comes back happy and relaxed. He is easy to communicate with and is great with sending pictures and updates. Would defintiely recommend as someone who can be trusted with your dog.

Rakan a bien pris soin de Prada. On voit qu'il aime les chiens.

Rakan was amazing with Snoop! I was coming from out of town, and he was very kind and flexible with my schedule. Snoop was immediately warm with them and it was obvious that they are very caring people. They went over and above for the care they provided. They kept sending me updates and photos of Snoop during the visit, and Snoop looked very happy and comfortable in their care. I would highly recommend Rakan and his partner, and I will be a repeat client the next time I’m in town with Snoop.

Rakan and Katya were wonderful sitters for my pup Fred, he came home happy and relaxed. They were excellent at communication, providing photos and videos and following his special dietary needs. Already booked for next time!

Rakan and Katia took such a great care of Chihiro. I usually prefer to meet any new petsitter before and take a walk with and my dog but I had to book on last minute and gave a shot. Best decision. They took her for a car ride (she adooores car ride) and they spoiled her during her stay. They sent me updates and photos, took her for long and nice walk ang gave her all the love she asked for. Thank you Rakan and Katia, happy to found such great people.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rakan to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Kimi felt super comfortable around Rakan and Katya as soon as she met them. They treated her as their own and Kimi got a lot of attention. What also was very important to me is that they followed all my instructions carefully, as Kimi is on a very strict diet. I definitely won't hesitate to ask Rakan and Katya to dog sit Kimi again when need be.☺️☺️

Safety, trust & environment

I don't have any pet at the moment, and don't usually take more than 2 pets at a time to give them the best attention; also when I host a pet, I have to make sure that they go along well with any pet I have at the same time.

A typical day

I'll be taking your dogs for walks around the neighborhood, to the dog park, beach and hikes depending on the weather and the length of stay.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Rakan can host up to 3 pets per night
I'd like to know if the dog has the following to provide the best care possible: - Does your dog have separation anxiety? - Does your pet require any special medical care? - Is there any allergies? - Is there any kind of behavior I should watch for? - Is the dog well trained, or need some training? - Your regular feeding and walking schedule.
