Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable West Seattle pet lover
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!

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.
Ratings and 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.
Raymond was absolutely phenomenal as our Rover sitter this past weekend! From the moment we met him, our two dogs, Tina and Shania, were smitten. His warm, kind demeanor instantly put us at ease, and it was clear he genuinely cared about making our pups feel safe and loved. Throughout the weekend, Raymond was incredibly attentive and communicative. He followed every detail of our care instructions to a tee and went above and beyond by sending regular updates and adorable photos of Tina and Shania looking relaxed, happy, and clearly enjoying their time with him. It was such a comfort to know they were in good hands. We came home to a spotless house and two very content dogs. Raymond’s professionalism, compassion, and reliability make him a true gem. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving sitter—and we’ll definitely be booking him again! Thank you, Raymond, for treating our home and our dogs like your own. You’re the best!

Schedule
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).
