Safety, trust & environment

I can care for your pets however they are normally cared for in the comfort of your own home. Due to the smaller size of my living space, I do not board or host pets at my own home.

Information Ray W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is a puppy, special needs, has medications that need to be administered, or is elderly. I do not have much experience sitting pets with extra needs but am happy to learn and accommodate as best I can.

A typical day

I like throwing the ball or going for 30-45 minute walks. Happy to accommodate any special play requests to help take the best care of your pets

Pet care experience

I grew up feeding and walking a Lab, Border Collie, and Westie. I have experience walking and sitting a bunch of breeds including Great Dane, Poodle, Aussie, and more, though I cannot claim any specialized experience for puppies or senior dogs! Though not currently a pet owner due to the small size of my living space, I would love to walk or sit for your pets!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
