Pet care experience

Please disregard the negative review as it contains inaccuracies and exaggerations. With over four years of professional pet-sitting experience and a strong reputation reflected in my Facebook and Google reviews, my commitment to quality service is unwavering. The reviewer's intent appears to have been to express dissatisfaction in an inappropriate manner, likely in pursuit of a Rover refund. Hello, I'm Raven, a dedicated full-time pet sitter with over four years of professional experience, backed by a total of 18 years of animal care expertise. While I run my independent business, Raven's K9 to 5, I've chosen to rejoin Rover to extend my specialized services to Rover clients once more. You can find additional reviews by searching 'Raven's K9 to 5 Pet Services' on Google, where I've received 61 reviews alone. To capture memorable moments, I use high-quality photography equipment to provide you with delightful pictures of your pets. Many clients appreciate this personal touch. I firmly believe that the value of a pet sitter goes beyond mere cost; my pricing reflects my professionalism and expertise. My backyard includes two distinct puppy pools for different-sized dogs, a spacious splash pad, and a fully fenced yard, which allows us to segregate small and large dogs during play and inside the house. I offer a variety of services, including overnight house sitting, farm sitting, drop-in visits, and home environment boardings. While you're away, you can trust me to care for your pets, including dogs, cats, livestock, horses, backyard chickens, and even more exotic animals like reptiles, tarantulas, and scorpions. As this is my full-time profession, I'm dedicated to accommodating your preferences and ensuring top-notch care. My fully fenced yard features a 7-foot privacy fence, and I have three friendly dogs. I am Fear Free Certified, CPR Certified, and carry my own insurance. For my personal business, I also utilize booking software, though we will follow Rover's procedures here. Thank you for considering Raven's K9 to 5 for your pet care needs. I genuinely love what I do and am committed to providing exceptional service.

My Hero came home so happy and she got to run and play while we were out of town

Sent my dog freshly groomed to this woman who clearly abused him, picked him up, covered in feces, and urine didn’t know where his dog bowls was. I left for feeding. He couldn’t wait to get into his food bowl. He was so hungry when I got him home, I sent a brand new crate, and a brand new pillow both which were covered in feces and urine and his pillow was covered in another dogs hair. She doesn’t believe this is a problem I’m reporting this to the Humane Society. This woman does not need to have any pets in her care.

Information Raven L. would like to know about your pet

1. **Understanding Your Pet's Behavior:** To ensure a secure and comfortable environment for your pet and us, it's crucial for us to be aware of any behavioral traits such as fear reactivity, fear aggression, anxiety, territorial tendencies, food aggression, or any other unique characteristics your pet may have. 2. **Up-to-Date Vaccination Records:** The safety and well-being of all pets under our care are paramount. We kindly request copies of your pet's vaccination records to maintain a healthy boarding environment. 3. **Comprehensive Medical History:** Your pet's past health issues, medications, allergies, and any behavioral insights are invaluable to us. This information enables us to provide the best and most informed care swiftly should any concerns arise. 4. **Medication Details:** If your pet requires medications, please provide us with detailed instructions on their administration schedule. This ensures your pet's health and comfort during their stay. 5. **Special Dietary Requirements:** If your pet has specific dietary needs, please provide their special food in a sealed container. While we adhere to regular feeding schedules, we'll accommodate any particular dietary measures your pet requires. 6. **Comfort Items from Home:** While we offer ample playtime and exercise in our secure yard, your pet may find comfort in having a cherished toy, blanket, or other familiar items. We aim to keep your pet content and relaxed during their stay. 7. **Additional Pet Preferences:** Any additional requirements your pet may have, such as preferred treats, rawhides, specific scheduling needs (bathroom breaks, walk times), behavioral notes, or even a pre-recorded video message, can be shared with us. Your pet's comfort is our priority. We have a welcoming approach to all breeds, with no restrictions. Small animals and reptiles are also part of our caregiving services. Your pet's well-being and happiness are central to our commitment.

A typical day

At our pet sitting business, we prioritize engaging and enjoyable activities for the dogs in our care. Our goal is to ensure that each pup has a memorable and fulfilling time during their stay. Here are some of the fun activities and walking options we offer: 1. **Tailored Playtime:** We customize playtime based on each dog's preferences and energy levels. This may include games of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply lounging and cuddling, depending on what your dog enjoys most. 2. **Secure Yard Play:** Our privacy-fenced yard provides a safe and spacious area for dogs to run, explore, and play freely. It's perfect for those who love to chase toys or frolic around. 3. **Nature Walks:** We're fortunate to have access to beautiful natural surroundings, and we often take dogs on scenic nature walks. These walks allow dogs to experience new sights, sounds, and smells while getting exercise. 4. **Park Excursions:** For those dogs who thrive in a social environment, we occasionally visit dog-friendly parks where they can interact with other friendly canines. 5. **Interactive Toys:** We have an array of interactive toys that engage dogs mentally and physically, helping to keep them entertained and stimulated. 6. **Special Treats:** As a reward for good behavior or just because, we offer special treats that dogs find irresistible. 7. **Comfort and Relaxation:** We also recognize the importance of downtime. Our cozy indoor spaces are perfect for pets to unwind, take a nap, or simply enjoy some quiet time. Regarding walks, while we have our favorite nearby routes that are both safe and enjoyable, we're always open to accommodating your dog's preferred places and routines. We're flexible and attentive to your pet's needs, ensuring they have a fantastic and memorable time while in our care.
