About the caregiver

All dogs are the best dogs, that’s why they deserve the best care. My name is Rayna. I am a young professional and future graduate student at the University of Michigan. My day job includes being a clinical research assistant for cancer therapy trials, but I am also a full-time dog lover! I may be new to Wag! but I am not new to dog walking. I have been walking dogs since 2015. I am passionate about animals and have experience working with pets of all kinds! Rats, reptiles, and dogs alike. Several years ago, I became increasingly concerned about the current state of animal welfare. As a result, I have been proudly vegan for the animals since 2021. I believe animals are just like us and deserve the same respect and love. Likewise, our dogs each have their own personality— their likes and dislikes as well. I have worked with all kinds of dogs— rescues with people/dog reactivity, dogs with depression and medication, and dogs who need a little extra care. I am here for you and your dog— whatever their needs might be. I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave your dog in the care of someone else (especially when they are reactive or need extra care/attention). Let me be the peace of mind you need to enjoy your time away from home. As an anxious pet parent myself, you can count on me to provide regular updates and photos of your dog at your request. I am passionate about caring for animals. You can rest assured your dog will be in great hands. Reach out today to book a service!
