Safety, trust & environment

Any pet under my supervision would have my undivided attention. That last thing that any pet owner would like to hear is that their pet got injured or harmed because the sitter didn't take their responsibility seriously.

Information Ray A. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know if the dog has social anxiety, asthma, and physical limitations. It would also be important to know how the dog reacts around other dogs/cats/raccoons that could potentially show up on walks.

A typical day

If I'm watching a dog at home, I will mostly test their tricks, enjoy playing catch and give them rubs/scratches. On walks, I like walking away from roads and preferably around parks and wide spaces. That's all a dog needs to be healthy and happy.

Friendly neighborhood dog walker

Pet care experience

I'm a project manager in tech who would love to someday have his own dogs, though I can't bear to leave them home every morning. I absolutely love to continue sitting and walking other dogs until the time comes that I can have my own. I've walked and cared for many dogs and I would love to keep doing so. Catering for all their potential necessities and communicating with the owner as needed are my strengths.

Ray was awesome! This was our first time using Rover for dog walking and he handled our 80 lb dog so easily. Our dog liked his friendly nature as soon as she met him and he made sure to keep her moving during the walk. He also handled her very well when she tried to chase a squirrel at the park. Thank your Ray for being so reliable and friendly with our dog and family.

Ray did a great job with our anxious rescue dog. We would love to hire him again in the future.

Ray helped us with walking our dog in a very short notice. Ours is an active and playful standard poodle and loved being with Ray. Ray is a detailed oriented , communicative and super helpful person.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
