Highlights
Pet care experience
Home Full-Time Pet Care
I bring many years of hands-on animal care experience, both professionally and personally. I’ve worked in animal care and management roles for nearly a decade, where I was responsible for daily husbandry, health monitoring, medication administration, enrichment, and individualized care plans for pets of all temperaments and needs. I’m especially comfortable caring for senior pets, anxious pets, and animals with medical or behavioral considerations. I’m attentive to subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and take a proactive, calm approach to ensure pets feel safe and supported. I also have experience with puppies, including reinforcing potty routines, basic training, and providing structure while keeping things positive and stress-free. Because I’m currently home full-time, your pet receives consistent supervision, companionship, and enrichment throughout the day — not just drop-ins between other commitments. I treat every pet as an individual, adapting my care to their personality, routine, and comfort level. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is always the same: to make your pet feel secure, loved, and truly cared for in your absence.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I take a calm, attentive, and proactive approach to ensure each pet’s well-being. In my home, pets are closely supervised and never left unattended outdoors. While my backyard is large but not fully fenced, all outdoor time is done on leash or under direct supervision, depending on the pet’s comfort level and owner preference. This allows pets to safely enjoy fresh air and movement without risk. I’m careful to pet-proof spaces, keep doors and gates secure, and follow household rules and routines closely. In a client’s home, I respect the space as if it were my own and follow all care instructions exactly, including feeding schedules, medications, and any safety preferences. I’m attentive to pet body language and behavior, especially with new environments or routines, and I prioritize low-stress handling and positive reinforcement. Clear communication is important to me, and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and check-ins so you feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal is to create a secure, calm environment where your pet feels protected, respected, and cared for at all times.
Ratings and reviews
Rayna took great care of my dog and two cats while we were away, recommend her!
Rayna did an absolutely fantastic job watching my little Martini (even though Martini was a bit of a menace)! She was super communicative, kept me updated throughout my trip, left my place in the exact way I left it, and most importantly, gave Martini the puppy attention she needed. I would definitely recommend Rayna to anyone who wants their pup to be watched in their own home!
Rayna was awesome and stayed at our house with our dog and cat while we were away for 10 days. She was able to give our cat oral and injection medication, which was super helpful. We look forward to having her watch the pets again soon.
Rayna was amazing!!! Finny had absolutely loved her!! Rayna went above and beyond to make sure Finny was happy while we were away! I absolutely will have Rayna back watching Finny!
Rayna took great care of my dogs and I had no worries about them while I was away. I would recommend her services.
Rayna was so helpful and willing to love up on our Kenzie!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I’m currently home full-time. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, timely meals, enrichment, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I structure my days around the pets in my care, adjusting to their normal schedules as closely as possible. Whether that means early morning walks, midday play sessions, medication timing, or quiet rest periods, I’m flexible and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Because I don’t juggle pet sitting around a separate full-time job, your pet isn’t left alone for long stretches. My weekly routine is intentionally open, making it easy for me to accommodate longer stays, last-minute requests, puppies, seniors, and pets that need extra attention.
