Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet sitting is my dream job!
I've been caring for animals since 2017, and my experience goes far beyond the average pet sitter. Over the years I've worked with dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, chickens, ducks, guineas, turkeys, parrots, snakes, rabbits, and even a litter of newborn kittens — so whatever your pet's personality or species, I'm comfortable! What really sets me apart is my experience with medical and special needs care. I've administered pill medications to cats, dogs, and even turkeys, used asthma inhalers for senior dogs, handled wound care, and taken pets to routine vet appointments on behalf of owners. I've cared for elderly dogs in their final stages of life, where comfort and quality of life were the priority. I've also worked with professionally trained K9s, including a narcotics dog from a marine base, maintaining their behavioral routines and keeping up with their specialized care requirements. I've managed households with dogs that couldn't be in the same space as each other, handling separation protocols safely and calmly. I'm a hands-on, attentive sitter who keeps your pet's routine consistent, sends regular photo updates, and is always happy to do a meet and greet before any booking. In fact, I insist! I have my own transportation and genuinely love what I do — caring for animals has been my favorite work for nearly a decade. Your pet is in experienced hands.

Ratings and reviews
Rayzel was amazing. She came watched our two dogs at our house and they loved every second of it. She sent a lot of photos and updates about how they were doing. I highly recommend Rayzel for watching your animals!
Rayzel was an absolute delight! We knew our pug puppy was in good hands with her immense experience with dogs and animals. We look forward to booking her in the future knowing we can trust her to attend to our dog's unique needs.
This is our first time using Rayzel (not the last). We have two pups with very different mobility needs and temperaments. They took to her fast. Rayzel is communicative and very thorough on understanding our needs.
Rayzell is wonderful. She connects with my cat and truly cares about her. I feel comforted that Rayzell takes care of Sasha when i am away.
Rayzel is amazing with my puppy Oliver. She is attentive and caring, knows how to focus all his puppy energy, and follows all my instructions. Oliver seems happy after his time with Rayzel!
Rayzel is AWESOME! don’t think book! :) She was so caring and loving to our two pups the whole week we were away. Just outstanding! Thann you so so much!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I'm raising three cats and am flexible to accommodate whatever schedule works best for you and your pet.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsRayzel can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Before any sitting arrangement, I'd love to know about your pet's daily routine, dietary needs, any allergies or medications, and their temperament around strangers or other animals. If they have a favorite toy, a quirky habit, or something that makes them nervous, I want to know that too — the more I know ahead of time, the smoother and more comfortable the experience is for your pet. If your pet has any medical needs, please don't hesitate to share. I'm experienced with medications and special care, so nothing is too much to ask.
