Professional & Experienced

"Cats are such a wonderful mix of affection, intelligence, personality, playfulness, and curiosity — all attributes I admire! Always a joy to get to know each one personally"

About Raanan R.

Animals are a big part of my life and family. I have lived and worked on a farm with five horses, four goats, two cats, and a doggo. I volunteer at the Austin Wildlife Rescue Center and am familiar with caring for a diversity of animals. With twenty years of experience, I’ve made many pet friends along the way. In my personal life I enjoy: writing, reading, rock climbing, making music, and spending time in nature. I won’t hesitate to reach out if I have a question or need to consult if something comes up. Happy to match your communication style. My goal is to ease your mind while away and ensure that the daily rhythms of your furry friends, hearth, & home won’t skip a beat!

Karthik S.

"Raanan is an absolute pleasure to have as a pet sitter! He took amazing care of our family (two large high energy dogs, and cat with a big attitude) while we were out of town. He is extremely patient and adjusts his approach to match our pets’ personalities, went above and beyond to make sure they got all the care they needed, is reliable, on time, and maintains great communication and flexibility as needed. The house was left even cleaner than before we left town and we came home to three very happy fur balls, can’t wait to have him here again!"

Michelle L.

"Raanan did great! Provided amazing care to my two dogs and cat while we were gone. He kept the place impeccable and I could tell my animals were very attuned to his kindness and experience as an animal care giver! There was a lot that needed to be done with 3 pets and he handled everything smoothly without a single hitch. He definitely lives up to the other 5 star reviews left on his profile! I won't hesitate to book him again for my next trip."

Connie Y.

"Raanan was incredible for our 5 day overnight dog/house sitting! His communication is top-tier - Right from the start, he was incredibly thorough, asking all the right questions during the meet-and-greet to ensure we were all comfortable leading up to the stay. We really appreciated the tailored communication style; he sent detailed daily updates and plenty of photos, which was reassuring and a nice treat for us while away. Getting an update the morning after the first night was a huge relief and let us know our pup was in great hands. Plus, we came home to a house that was just as clean as we left it! If you’re looking for someone professional, communicative, and genuinely caring, Raanan is the one."

"Raanan took excellent care of my two German shepherds and parrot while I went away for two days. I had total peace of mind knowing they were in good hands - Raanan is exceptionally competent and trustworthy and I came home to happy animals and a tidy house. He gave updates while I was away, and communicates super well. Will definitely have him back!"

Mandy S.

Bastrop

"Raanan is the best pet sitter I've ever had. My dog is nervous and can be reactive, and she just loves Raanan so much- which has never happened with past sitters. It's so wonderful to know that she is in such great hands when I'm out of town and I can't recommend Raanan enough!"
