Animal lover extraordinaire
Pet care experience
I've loved animals since I was young, and we had many dogs growing up! We had mostly border collies and Aussies, but I love all dogs, especially big ones! I often take my grandparents dogs to the dog park, or on hikes or beach trips for fun on weekends, so I'm very familiar with the activity level and social behavior of dogs. I also really enjoy bathing dogs, and a few family members pay me to give their pups baths. I know being bathed is a very stressful experience for animals, so I use lots of treats, and sing and talk to the dog I'm giving a bath to. I have two cats, so if you're looking for boarding, please keep that in mind! They used to live with a pitbull puppy so they're very comfortable with dogs! I work full time weekdays and am most available on my lunch break (usually anywhere between 11:30 and 2), before 7am, and after 5pm. I'm completely available during weekends! Let's chat about what you need for your pets and figure out a plan!
Reviews
This is a testimonial for Ray M. I have known Ray for 22 years. Ray has always been a loving and responsible "pet person." Ray has parented several cats and dogs at home and has always been very attentive to their care, proper feeding, and training. Ray is a good organizer, and has had many years of experience working around young people and with pets and young people. Ray has cared for our dog on several occasions, and always is conscientious about making sure our dog gets proper exercise and behaves in our home during our absence. Ray loves animals, but has developed a good sense of judgment as to the proper use of discipline for pets. I highly recommend Ray as a dog (or cat) caregiver. I think Ray would be a fine source for good care, and would be honest and fair in pursuing the business aspects of being a care provider.
Ray is exceptionally patient with animals, and simply wonderful at caring for dogs. He has a deep love and respect for dogs. He showed tremendous capability when caring for my own dog, Frank. Ray would be an excellent hire for your dog sitting company.

Information Ray M. would like to know about your pet
I love all breeds, though I prefer dogs over 10 pounds. It's important for me to know if your dog likes cats or not, if they'll be coming to my home.
A typical day
Walks at bush park or minto brown, trips to the dog park or on nearby hikes if owners are comfortable with it!
