Military K9 for 9 Years
Pet care experience
I've was in the Navy as a K9 trainer/ handler for the last 9 years traveling the world protecting official dignitaries and safeguarding U.S. critical infrastructure. I've spent my life training some extremely high energy breeds AND cleaning up those high energy messes! I am well equipped to cover your home while you're catching some vacation time, or if you'd like some training tips and tricks, I can do it all!
Reviews
Raymond is one of very few people I would trust with a responsibility as important as caring for my pets or my home. He has a playful and confident way with animals that earns their respect and trust — even my cat, who’s usually wary of people, took to him right away. With his experience as a K9 handler, he knows how to balance guidance with genuine care and attention. Animals respond so well to him, and I'd strongly recommend him. You can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in his hands.
Raymond has been incredible with our pets which are numerous. But what's more important is our pets love seeing him and his happy demeanor coming through the door. He is honest and trustworthy thus I have no problem having him come into our home to care for our beloved furry babies.
Raymond is one of the few people that we implicitly trust with our dogs. We have a malinois and not only has his experience as a K9 handler been helpful to us and our family but he has the confidence to handle any and all of my dogs quirks. Very loving and patient dog sitter. we joke that he is my Malinois' favorite person.

Safety, trust & environment
I come from a very diverse background of training practices and habits. I can cater to whatever needs you require from complex instructions to dogs that just need a little more training!
Information Raymond D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you dog requires special instructions, I prefer more social breeds that enjoy an active lifestyle, but I can hang out and chill with the old timers and just watch Netflix too!
A typical day
I can take dogs on runs for the active pet, or if you have a fenced in area I can spend some time playing with them and letting them blow off some steam with some centerline drills. We can hang out in the house and train some new tricks, or if you would prefer I can just be company for them and hang out.
Services
Raymond can watch in your home
Availability
Presently taking a gap year while I apply for different jobs since I left the Navy, my availability is quite open, as long as I'm not traveling.
