Hello, I am Ray. I have pet sat in friends and families homes since I was 16 years old, and professionally for five years now since turning 20. I worked at Uptown Dog boarding and training facility in Colorado for a year, learning about safe dog walking and playdate tips. Learned a lot about how to recognize unsafe situations with dogs, how to recognize when they need space. I also learned how to have FUN with dogs! I can think like them and set them up for a fun time! I was recently working as a professional dog bather in grooming salon. I have now gone back to college to get a degree in biology. I am home full time and able to house sit in your home or board in mine on special occasions. *****I am able and willing to negotiate prices if they stay is in your home for several nights. Prices on this profile are just estimated. ROVER takes a part of my funds (I only keep 80% of what you end up paying) which also causes the cost to go up. Willing to email privately to work out prices. Price shown on profile is for one night services. Cost decreases significantlyif it is a multiple night job. ***** I worked as a nurse aid for five years before college with a cna certification. Handling meds or any unique needs is not abnormal to me. Id be happy to help with all kinds of dogs. When working at the dog boarding facility later in my life I found that these skills came in handy often. Im available most all holidays. Id be happy to help others when busy times of the year come around. I am a very understanding person, and very flexible. However I also know the value of my time and knowledge. ✌ I hope to be a good fit for your pup, and I hope to help you soon. Thank you for checking out my profile in consideration! ***Keep in mind my daycare rates are so expensive because they will include a day trip to either the willamette river or newport beach. Think of my daycare days as field trip days! (My dog would join, you must have a dog who is friendly with others to join daycare.) ***
