Pet care experience

Reliable pet care by a cat mom of 5

I have plenty of years of experience with both cats and dogs, and a deep love for animals of all kinds. I’m a proud cat mom to five rescues—three of whom I bottle-fed from just three weeks old—so I’m no stranger to giving extra care and attention to young, sensitive, or vulnerable pets. I have also owned three amazing dogs, from small to large breeds, including a Schnauzer, an Alaskan Malamute, and a German Shepherd Husky. This range of experience has taught me how to tune into each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s a shy kitten, an energetic puppy, or a senior dog who just wants a gentle walk and some love. I approach every single pet with patience, kindness, and a focus on making them feel comfortable and loved. I understand the importance of creating a comfortable and stress-free environment for them while their owners are away. I treat every pet like family, and I’m committed to making them feel safe, happy, and understood while in my care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routines so they feel safe and comfortable. I will ensure they are fed, and have fresh water, which includes doing dishes to provide clean bowls if necessary. I will happily provide attention and spend quality time based on each pet’s needs—whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship. I check their surroundings to make sure everything is safe and clean, whether it’s litter box maintenance for cats or outdoor exercise for dogs. If needed, I can administer medications or special care instructions. For dog walking, I focus on providing not only exercise but also mental stimulation. I tailor the walk to your dog's energy level, whether that’s a leisurely stroll or a brisk pace to burn off extra energy. I’m always mindful of their safety, keeping a watchful eye on their behavior and surroundings. In any case, I’m dedicated to giving pets personalized, attentive care, making them feel loved and secure in their own space.

Our cat seemed no worse for the wear when we returned home for our trip. We got picture updates from Raylene at regular intervals. We will use her again.

Great experience with Raylene. Came for a visit before our booking to meet the pets and to go over instructions and was a great communicator while we were away. Would definitely recommend

I had a great experience with Raylene. My cat Salem was well cared for! She was reliable and kept me updated appropriately with photos and messages. I would definitely book with her again.

This was my first time booking with Raylene and I will absolutely be booking with her again! She is incredibly responsive and clearly cares so much about the creatures she cares for. She did an excellent job managing my cat's medication needs on top of providing lots of play time and affection. My normally very anxious cat seemed totally at ease when I returned from a 10 day trip. She provided excellent photos and updates from every visit and provided me so much peace of mind while I was away.
