I have a big fenced in backyard, front, and side yard that is perfect for playing! I have 2 roommates, both very loving and caring for animals similar to me! The space I live in is not noisy, and the overall space is very quiet. I love to play with animals and keep them active if that is desired by pet owners! I am very close to Bidwell Park which is perfect for long walks and getting energy out!

Information Raymond S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any schedule, preferences, or actives your dog enjoys beforehand! If they prefer shorter faster walks than longer slow walks, if they are usually scheduled lunch or dinner at a certain time! I try be as knowledgeable as possible about the animals I take care to ensure they feel loved, cared for, and tired enough at the end of the day to rest well!

A typical day

I love all energy levels! If your dog is very active I love to be out in the sunlight, taking a walk, going to a dog park, if they enjoy fetch or similar activity I would love to play in the backyard! If your dog is very mellow I also love to relax with them, tummy rubs, a slow paced walk or two, and a big thing I always advocate is stretching out their legs from time to time!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I came into this world! Always watching over, loving, and caring for a variety of animals. At one point my family had 6 dogs to take care of and love! I have a very soft spot for elder animals and truly love caring for them! I love to watch and play with cats, and have experience cat sitting (usually 2 young male cats).

Raymond is an amazing pet caretaker! Having spent much time with him growing up, I have always seen a care and love for animals in him. He has had many family pets who he has always taken immense care of, and gone the extra mile for! Raymond is great with dogs, especially senior dogs, and loves taking the time to learn more about what makes their tails wag. It is not even a question, he would be a fantastic choice for any sitting work you may need!

Raymond is one of those rare people who truly connects with animals, they seem to instantly trust him. He has cared for my pets multiple times and I have always been impressed by his patience, reliability, and genuine affections for them. Raymond takes time to understand each pet's personality and routine, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. His communication is excellent and he provides thoughtful updates and truly goes the extra mile to give peace of mind. His combination of professionalism and heart makes him an outstanding choice for anyone seeking a dependable and caring pet sitter or dog walker. Anyone who books Raymond for taking care of their pets will be very satisfied with the excellent care he provides.
