Pet care experience

I am recent UGA grad and joined Rover to help save money for medical school and keep me company as I study for entrance exams. I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life, and am comfortable with all breeds and ages! My priorities are to keep your pet safe, happy, and active! I pride myself in spoiling your pets and having them excited to see me again. I truly love spending time with animals and look forward to my Rover appointments!

Ray was great with my little guy...they played and went out, I got a text letting me know he was okay, then a picture as well. My baby was happy, and tired when I picked him up. Thank you, Ray. Will utilize your services on the future!

This was my first experience with Rover. Ray was awesome with my Yorkie Ollie. It's funny because his dogs name is Ollie also. He kept me updated and since this was my first time of ever leaving him with anyone I had a piece of mind knowing he was taken care of and happy. Thanks Rover and thank you Ray you are awesome. Will be using him again.

Shiloh said Ray deserves even more than 5 stars as he was treated royally. Mom and Dad were comforted to see pictures of Shiloh lounging on the sofa between two pillows, having wonderful outdoor play time with his new doggie friend, Ollie, and just being spoiled. Messages confirming that Shiloh was eating and adjusting to his “home away from home” were also greatly appreciated.

Ray is a wonderful young man. He and his family took great care of my lil Piper. She had a little problem, and they handled it with love and care, which I’m very thankful for : )

Safety, trust & environment

I‘m currently living in multilevel home with my parents and our golden retriever, Ollie, so you will have 4 dog lovers throughout the home caring for yours! Ollie is from a breeder, friendly to a fault, and has never met a dog or person he didn’t quickly become friends with. I’m happy to do meet and greets so you can see for yourself! If this is a concern, our home allows them to each have their own space. They won’t even know the other exists! We have a front yard with plenty of space for play, as well as a fenced in pool area in the back. My rules outside are: 1) They will always have supervision 2) They will stay on a leash until I trust them 3) They will only get in the pool if they want to, I have your permission, and I’m in there with them

Information Ray J. would like to know about your pet

I believe dogs have different needs, boundaries, and behaviors based on their previous treatment and life experiences. I like to know where you got your pet so I can best understand and care for them.

A typical day

Besides our yard, I enjoy taking them to one of several dog parks around town so they can socialize and play with their toys! I’ll also sometimes bring a dog along on my runs if they’re up for it. If they have any favorite activities please let me know!

Availability

Your pet will have attention throughout the day. They will be fed when they’re used to and will be taken out as often as they need! I go for runs through the neighborhood most days and like to bring them along! If not, I try to make sure they get some other form of exercise and sunlight if the weather allows. If your dog stays longer than a week, I also throw in a free bath!
