Ratings and reviews
Ray is a gem with our dog and takes great care of him
Ray took exceptional care of our dog and was communicative with updates and pics the entire stay along with being a great house and plant sitter. Highly recommended
Ray has always been amazing with our elderly dog. He's extremely friendly and personable, and all of my animals really enjoy his company.
As always, came home to a happy dog and tidy house. Great communication throughout and Ray always makes me feel like my pup is his favorite to watch.
As always, Ray was a great communicator, my house was tidy and looked after and, most importantly, I came home to a happy, well cared for pup. Thank you!
This man is the most patient, dedicated, and loving sitter you could hope for! We have two dogs, both with weird quirks and the GSD is reactive to new people so needs several meetings to get comfortable. During our first meeting, I was surprised he didn't walk out. She barked and lunged and took a long time to warm up to him and if he was scared he didn't show it. Just patience and persistence and some jokes. We needed him to stay with both dogs while my family went on a trip to Ireland for 12 nights so if I couldn't find someone that could get past her first impression, I wouldn't be able to go. Ray came every day the week of Thanksgiving and every day I was back in town leading up to our trip at Christmas to spend time with both dogs and get to know their routines. I had given him a 6 page document of routines and commands and instructions and he came back each day with notes and questions like he'd been studying for a final exam. By the time we left for our trip I felt confident our dogs would be great in his care and wasn't disappointed. He sent photos and videos of them playing each day and he got them to both eat full meals every day which is hard even for us to do sometimes. Truly a gem of a human and dog carer. So lucky we found him and will definitely use him again when we can!

Retired and bored. Had a Jack Russell for 16 years. I like walks and and short adventures if your pet is up for it or can stay or check in at your location as needed. I have my own car.
