Complete Care of our Furry Friends

Pet care experience

Hey guys, I am a semi retired guy from Australia. I was born in the UK and have been travelling for over 20 years. I have two dogs that we brought from Australia called Hamish and Morag that are Corgi/Collie cross. As I am now semi retired I am looking to fill my days doing what I love to do best and that's look after our furry friends. I have owned cats and dogs for over 30 years in different parts of the world. If you're looking for a friendly, very flexible, honest sitter that covers all aspects of caring for your pet then I'm your man. We live in a house in Hamilton close to the Stoney Creek border where there are lots of Walking Trails on our doorstep with open spaces to exercise your dog/s. My preference would be to (get to know) your pet for 30 mins - 1hour and any special requirements you may have when I'm looking after your precious possessions other than the usual day-to-day stuff. We have an enclosed garden to the rear of the property for safe, secure toilet breaks. Thank you for reading and I look forward to assisting you soon.

Ray was an excellent weekend host for Paddy. He was very patient with my high energy dog and sent me daily updates. Ray is a true dog lover and I would highly recommend him.

Ray is a highly professional, extremely attentive walker with an absolute love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I work full time and decided to use a walker 3 times a week to keep my dog, Bentley, active and stimulated. Bentley loves his walks with Ray. He is always punctual and very patient and I have complete confidence that he is in very safe hands. Ray is an incredible walker and person, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a walker.

I have to start by saying that Ray's two dogs, Hamish and Morag are like his children. I have never met a person who cares for and adores animals like Ray. When one of his dog's was very sick he was beside him every day and I am sure that is one of the reasons that Hamish recovered and was back home so quickly. He has the dogs out for long walks most days and they are very happy and well looked after animals. Personally he is a kind, honest and selfless gentleman who I am honoured to call my friend. I would not hesitate to have Ray look after and care for my dog should the need arise.

I am very flexible re dog size and breed etc but naturally, temperament, personal needs and medication requirements where applicable would be discussed prior to boarding/walking your dog.

A typical day

As previously mentioned we are very close to Rattray Marsh and Credit Valley Conservation areas so lots of open space for walks and fresh air. My dogs love to play ball and pulls etc so I'm not normally sitting around for very long.
