Loving care when you’re not there

Pet care experience

Whether you're looking for a pet sitter to care for your fur-kid during your vacation or on a regular basis, finding the right person can be challenging. My name is Rayven and I’ve been a dog owner my entire life. I currently have 5 babies of my own. My dogs are Eva the pug, and Sage a German Shepard husky mix who are indoor/ outdoor dogs. I also have 3 cats that spend their days outside. They’re the life of the party! As far as availability I’m off on Fridays and Saturdays, my partner and roommate also help me with caring for our guests and they are available during Sunday and Monday during the days. I work Full time but I work close to home. Tuesday-Thursday unless your pet can stay out and about without issues I usually have to kennel them for about 2-3hrs. They get potty breaks, loves, belly scratches and food ☺️💙💙. You can always expect me to remain patient and stay calm so your pet doesn't feel and react to any anxiety. My genuine love for animals makes me take relationships with them pretty seriously. By this I mean being consistent, reliable and trustworthy to you and your pets needs. A decent pet sitter will recognize the needs of your pet and respond to them. I will add from previous experiences, meet and greets should always be a priority and I’ll always ask if we have one before a booking. That being said I hope you’ll consider me for any future pet care you may need! Again my weekly availability is Thursday evenings - Sunday mornings. I’ll also have the help of my roommate who is also a pet sitter! Their availability is Friday afternoon- Monday night. So you’re getting the price of two for one! I have a fenced yard that my two dogs love to play in but I also have an unfenced yard that I can also keep available for animals that may need to remain leashed or have other special needs.

Ray was a fantastic sitter! My sweet girl Astro was really missing me the first couple days of the stay/was acting sad, but Ray was so communicative and let me know how she was doing/sent me photos and videos often! And Astro warmed up nicely after a couple of days :) Ray and her roommates made sure Astro was well taken care of and as comfortable as possible. Highly recommend Ray - plus, the stay was more affordable than other sitters which I greatly appreciated. Thank you Ray!!

Honestly an amazing person, was able to pick up a short notice job with grace and ease. Even ran with the small curves that we discovered along the way without any problems. It was honestly a joy and a privilege to work with Ray and made all the stress melt away. I will book again without a second thought if I ever need!

Fanci was a great fit for Ray and her dogs! Fanci received so much love and cuddles from Ray and her roommates! From now on Ray is the only person I will let watch Fanci while I'm away! ??

Ray was exceptionally thorough and very sweet. She made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs. It was only for the day but she made sure to send me updates and made sure all my questions were answered. Thank you so much Ray!

Information Ray W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements. Also it’s helpful to know if they perhaps have any habits. Are they cat or other dog friendly? All breeds are welcomed :)

A typical day

Things I’d enjoy doing with your dog would be walks, play time and if allowed taking them for a fun ride down to the park that’s nearby my home :)
