Pet care experience

Professional, Trustworthy Pet Care

Growing up, I was surrounded by a variety of pets—everything from dogs and cats to fish, birds and reptiles, which gave me a lot of hands-on experience with different types of animals. As an adult, I’ve personally cared for my own dogs, cats, and fish, providing them with the love and attention they deserve. I’ve always been the go-to person for family, friends, and neighbors when they needed help with walking, feeding, or sitting for their pets. My experience spans everything from daily walks to special care for senior pets (as my last dog went blind at 11 years old). I’m committed to ensuring your pet feels comfortable, safe, and happy while you’re away.

Raymond clearly cares about the pets he boards and/or walks, and we were 100% satisfied with his services. Will definitely use him again next time we need boarding help!

Raymond is the best. He is so experienced and willing to give love and care to different kinds of dogs. I cannot believe how much my stewie loves him, he came home with so much love. Thank you Raymond!

Raymond was great! Hailey can be anxious at times but Raymond kept her calm and comfortable. Updated us and was very communicative. We felt comfortable knowing our dog was under his care and would love to use his services again in the future

Schedule

I usually work from my home office providing Digital Productivity Coaching to executives, business owners and professionals. So, I'm easily capable of keeping pets company when needed. I'm also a fitness enthusiast so I love taking dogs out on walks through the parks nearby.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a bi-level condo unit and depending on the pet, I can give them as much or as little space as they need to be comfortable. I currently don't have any pets here. I'm also happy to crate your pet if needed for their comfort or safety.

A typical day

My day starts with my walk to the gym (i.e., CrossFit) and then I return home to get ready for work. I'm usually in my office from 8:00 to 18:00 aside from lunches and breaks. Sometimes when the weather is nice I'll setup to work out on the porch. My evenings include yoga, dinner and reading. So, there is plenty of time for your pet to have play and enrichment activities throughout the day and evening.

Please provide any details about your pet's personality I should know--the good and the bad ?--so I can adjust their care accordingly. If they need any specific care, let me know so that I'm prepared for that when they arrive.
