Pet care experience

I meet every dog where they are at!

I've spent my entire life around dogs and cats, and have spent a significant amount of time researching dog behavior and training. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs, and thus feel comfortable with dogs (and cats!) of any temperament and age. My first priority is safety of both the animal and everyone around them. As such, I will never do on-leash greetings with your dog and any other dog, nor will I ever take your dog off leash for any reason. My second priority is building a trusting relationship with your animal(s). I am willing to take things as slow as needed to develop that trust, and feel confident in my ability to read animal body language and never push an animal over its threshold. I value trust and communication between myself and you, as well, and it's important for me to feel that we have open lines of communication. I will not judge you for any quirks your animal may have, but it is crucial that they are disclosed to me so that I can take the best care of them and keep everybody involved safe! I truly love animals and will love them like they are my own. (I can also do reptiles)

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not currently have the capacity for boarding, so for sitting I will be staying in your home. I love to go on walks and explore new areas! I also adore snuggly dogs, and could spent hours just sitting on the floor and petting them.

Ray has been an exceptional addition to mine and my dogs life. Enthusiastic, caring, interested, communicative are just a small taste of the quality of character Ray has demonstrated. Highly recommended and highly praised. 10/10 will hire again.

House Sitting • may. 29, 2026

This is our second time that Ray has cared for our sweet doggie in our home. She's a really caring sitter. She's experienced, has good judgment and loves animals, and she left our house in great shape. Having her take care of Honey in our home gave us real peace of mind. We will definitely ask her to watch Honey again.

Everything went great. Honey really took to Ray! And Ray was great about sending us photos of her and responding to any communication. Very happy with everything.

Ray took amazing care of both my cats, one of which is a grumpy lady. But Ray did great with her and my cat started to warm up to Ray by the end. 10/10

Ray truly went above and beyond during this stay. Not only did she take excellent care of Thornton and Finley, but she also handled a furniture delivery while we were away, which was incredibly helpful and saved us a lot of stress. On top of that, she dealt with an unpleasant situation involving deceased critters with professionalism and care – definitely not something we expected anyone to have to handle, and we really appreciated her willingness to step in. We received regular updates and felt completely at ease knowing everything was in such capable hands. We came home to happy pets and a well-kept house. I would absolutely recommend Ray and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!

I need to know about any potential reactivity, sensitivity, or behavioral quirks of your dog beforehand, so I can keep myself and your animal safe! For house sitting, I will also need to be aware of any medications your dog is on, and it is extremely important to me that their vet information is up to date in case of any emergencies.
