Raymond can care for
Availability
I live in Morgan Junction in West Seattle and I work full-time in Kent. I'm available for overnight sittings (any days), drop-ins (usually weekends and evenings only). On weekday mornings, I will take your dog for a potty break (either let outside in your fenced yard, or a quick walk) around 4:30-6:00 AM. During the workday, your dog needs to be OK to be left alone for at least 9-10 hours. On weekday evenings when I return to your place, I will give your dog a longer walk (up to 20-25 minutes), depending on the weather and your dog's needs. I would then be able to stay overnight in your guest space after briefly returning home to care for my own household. On weekends, I'm able to stay overnight as well, but I will need to be able to leave your pet unattended for 8-10 hours during the day, before returning in the evening for their nighttime feeding, walk, and bedtime. I may be able to accommodate special needs/schedules with prior discussion and mutual agreement before booking. For example, if your home is near mine in Morgan Junction, I may be able to do a mid-day potty break / check-in on weekends (but not weekdays because I’m working in Kent). I always start with a meet-n-greet before accepting a first booking, to make sure I’m a mutual fit for the pet(s).

About Raymond G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For dog sitting, I can follow any reasonable care and medication instructions, including complex medication schedules. Generally, I expect to give a dog a quick potty break in the early morning, either before or after morning feedings/medications. In the evenings, I provide a longer walk of 20-25 minutes depending on your instructions. I have two wonderful dogs of my own; however, because one of them doesn't get along with other dogs, I keep strict separation of other people's animals from my own, and therefore can only be available for sittings/stays at *your* home.
Information Raymond G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or temperament issues I should be aware of, and what activities or treats they prefer.
A typical day
I like to play tug or fetch with dogs, or cuddle with them if they're allowed on furniture or beds. I also like to make sure they get a chance to sniff around the neighborhood each day! As a dog owner myself, I know the peace of mind and smile seeing daily photos of my dogs back home brings, so I'll be sure to text you updates each morning and night. That way, you can enjoy your vacation knowing your animals are safe and sound.

Pets
Reliable West Seattle pet lover
Pet care experience
I'm an A/V warehouse manager who lives in West Seattle where I own two Superhost Airbnbs. My husband and I are lifelong dog lovers with two pups: Teddy, a 10-year-old Golden Retriever, and Winston, and 9-year-old Cairn Terrier. Teddy takes 8 medicines 4 times a day for DCM (heart failure), so I'm familiar with complex types of dog medical care requiring a strict schedule, and special care for senior fur babies. I also grew up caring for several cats and reptiles. I love to travel and attend music events, and know how important it is to have someone trustworthy sending you daily pics and updates to know your fur babies are being well looked-after, so you can relax and have a good time while you’re away!
Reviews
The boys loved hanging with their newest buddy Raymond!
Amazing as always! ❤️
Raymond was friendly and reliable. I recommend him highly.
This was our second time working with Raymond, and once again, he exceeded expectations. He took wonderful care of both our pups and our home while we were away for a week. Every day, he sent us photo updates and sweet little notes about their antics—whether they were being goofy, cuddly, or just their usual adorable selves. We have outdoor Ring cameras, and occasionally we'd check in when we got a notification. Every time we peeked, the dogs were happy, tails wagging, playing, and clearly enjoying Raymond’s company. It was so reassuring to see them so well cared for. We’re incredibly grateful to have found someone we trust completely with our babies and our home. Raymond gives us true peace of mind when we travel, and we couldn’t recommend him more highly.
