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 fantastic for our five cats. She just really loves animals, so she spent a lot more time playing with them than we would have hoped for. She sent LOTS of updates and messages, and it was clear she understood the personality of each one. She was wonderful dealing with the one who needs medicine daily, and she got our extremely skittish one out of her shell. We recommend her very highly!
Rayzel was amazing! My expectations were more than met, and my dog was bitter to have me back. If anyone is looking for someone confident with being around animals, or someone that will go the extra mile to assure your peace of mind with your dog/cat/(insert animal) Rayzel is an exceptional person. Very smart, mindful, caring, and dependable. I will 100% be asking Rayzel for future trips, thank you Rayzel, and thank you Rover for a very great experience.
Rayzel did a great job. She was very serious about taking care of my 2 cats over the holiday.
Rayzel is a wonderful sitter. She is a great communicator and clearly enjoys animals. Sasha loves her, too!!
Rayzel did well with my new rescue Kellie. She spent time getting to know her in advance. On the date, Rayzel arrived on time, took Kellie for a productive walk and then fed her. They got along well even though Kellie is still a bit skittish around strangers. I was very pleased with the service we received from Rayzel.
Rayzel was great! She was prompt, enthusiastic, energetic, and followed my instructions regarding our new puppy training. We will definitely request Rayzel's help again!
