Hi, I'm Raylene! I was born and raised in Tacoma and currently live in U.P. I have 1 dog (Picasso) and puppy sit frequently for two adorable and rambunctious dogs doing everything from nail trims to baths and of course LOTS and lots of snuggles. I love hiking and being outdoors and take my dog (and others) with me when I can. Let me meet your furry family member and treat them to some carefree time for walks and playtime!
