Pet care experience

Here to make new dog friends!

Your dog will feel like they’re on vacation. If they love being outdoors, we will go on hikes. If they love being indoors, we will snuggle and watch TV. I’ve sat dogs of all sizes and energy levels and I love to match their preferred lifestyle. One more walk? Why not! One more episode? Agreed!

Willow has a new best friend in Ray! Ray was very attentive to her needs and to ours as we had to extend Willow's stay due to a medical procedure. He took Willow out for walks and made her feel comfortable in a new setting, even working from his home to keep her company. I would book with Ray again.

Ray was wonderful. He was nice and responsive with us and very attuned to what our dog wanted and needed during his stay. We will definitely use him again!

Ray has taken Oona while I’ve been away twice and both times was great with communication and sending pictures. He was flexible and thoughtful. I’m so happy I’ve found someone I so dependable who I can trust to care for my little girl.

Thank you Ray! Pepper had a great time! It was nice to get photos and videos of you all out and about while we were away. Will definitely call you again when we need a safe fun place for Pepper and Oona when we travel again!

Ray was great with Oona and very easy to reach through the whole booking and sitting process. Even though Oona can be nervous with new people and generally new environments, she seemed instantly at home and was very affectionate with Ray. Ray clearly spent a lot of time taking her on hikes and reported back with videos and photos. I would definitely reccommend Ray to a friend and will be booking with him again!

I had a fantastic experience with Ray! He provided exceptional care for my dog Honeybear. Ray was punctual, reliable, and followed all my instructions. It was clear he has a genuine love for dogs, and Honeybear was always excited to see him. I highly recommend Ray!

Schedule

Work typically keeps me out of the house for only 5 hours (11am-4pm) M-F. I’m sure to give pets a good walk in the morning and more engaging exercise after work.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets or kids so your dog will be comfortable and relaxed in my space. I can transport pets in my car so we always have access to the best trails and parks.

A typical day

I want pets to be tired by bed time! We will spend plenty of time exercising outdoors and engaging with toys indoors. For dogs who are up for it, I love taking them on local hiking trails. Other dogs may prefer a neighborhood walk and playing with toys at home. Let me know your dog’s favorite things to do!

Let me know what positive reinforcement most motivates your dog and how they like to spend their day. What engages them the most? Where is their favorite place to go? How are they with other animals and people? Any medical or behavior notes I should be aware of?
