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.

Reliable pet care by a cat mom of 5

Pet care experience

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.

I can count on one hand the times I’ve felt this safe leaving our kitty behind on a trip. I felt the way Raylene put not only her work ethic but also her heart into making Crunchy comfy and feel cared for. A true cat lover!! Thank you again!

Raylene was very thoughtful and such a pleasure to work with when arranging our first ever rover service. Our cat seemed to warm to her despite him being a bit skittish and was very content when we came back. She kept us updated with photos and gave us a lot of confidence leaving our cat in her care.

Raylene was wonderful with my two cats. One is quite skittish and I was pleased to see she didn’t run and hide during their visit. Raylene makes them feel comfortable and provides them with all of the care and attention needed.

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.
