Animals Are My Spice For Life

Pet care experience

Been with animals my whole life due to my parents having been Great Dane breeders until they became aware of over population. Thus I was practically raised with Great Danes and learned that animals are your family and you treat them as such and go the extra mile for all family. Not only that, but I have spent a fair amount of hours volunteering at non-euthanasia shelters. I would love to help take care of your family. No matter the size, an animal is an animal to me and I'm happy to take care of them. I have experience on my side and tend to be very acute to animal body language. I've had my fair share of experience with cats, rabbits, and reptiles too. My ultimate dream someday would be to have an animal sanctuary for endanger species of canidae and other misunderstood mammals to spread awareness.

I was so thrilled to find such a great dog sitter for my two Great Danes while I was in town visiting. It was our first time boarding our babies at night and Raven and her family made sure my pups were comfortable and safe on their first time away. Raven was really accommodating and flexible with our travel schedule and we couldn’t be more thankful! Such a great experience. My pups were always happy to see her and her family. Thanks Raven!

Wonderful! Raven was so sweet and took excellent care of our hairy babies ?? Sent pictures every day and even slept on the couch the first day to keep them company! ?

Raven was very caring, conscientious and responsible while watching our dog, Lucky. She exceeded our expectations as she went above and beyond to make sure he was loved and very well cared for while we were gone. She arrived early so she could bond with Lucky before our departure and even brought him a bag of treats! I would highly recommend Raven and look forward to having her sit with Lucky again.

Information Raven H. would like to know about your pet

I am good with any breed, but I like to know what breed your animal is and if they are a mutt then for you to list what you can tell they have in them. It just gives me a few ideas of what to expect or watch out for since I know a lot about dog breeds. If they are inbred or not, spayed or neutered, aggressive with any certain animals or objects, allergies, base personality, and anything you think I should know beforehand.

A typical day

Outside my fenced yard we have another big yard with a garden in it my family has been revamping that I believe an animal might enjoy exploring and running around with. I enjoy teaching animals tricks to as I find it is usually a good way to keep their minds busy. Of course there will be toys and they can cater to the individual dog's needs (for instance maybe your dog is bad with swallowing squeakers so we'll steer away from those). Also attention and companionship as I like to stay in the same rooms as them and not leave them alone if I can help it or unless they need some space. On rare occasions I can take them to dog-friendly cafes and beaches. And I am sure there is more fun things I'll discover as I get to meet each unique creature.
