Ray's Pro Pet Care

"I have been hiring Ray Madore since the spring of 2006 to walk my Italian Greyhound (Bentley) and overnight house/pet sit for me when I travel.I have been awayon frequent trips since that time and Rays stays overnight at my house fairly oftern. He has also done many midday walks for me. I am extremely impressed with how well organized and professional Ray is (beyong other pet sitters I have hired in the past). He has an excellent system for collecting house and pet care related information from clients that left mevery confident in his ability to look after things, including unexpected crises is they should occur. He is completely trustworthy and reliable. He is on time when he say he will be somewhere aand does not "short-shift" the midday walks he takes with Bentley on (where I found other dog walker often charge for a 30 minutes or and hour and later find out they were there for 15-20 mins max). On his overnight stay, I have complete cofidence in giving Ray my alarm code and house keys (and have left him with my car keys as well even in case he needed to move my car). I know that my home and dog will be well looke after in my abscence. I always come back to a tidy and very clean home and a very happy dog. Ray even runs the dishwasher, launders the sheets/towels he used, tidies up and dusts before he leaves. He doe not have guest over and I have never seen any sign that anything is damaged or missing. (My previous professional dog sitter had friends over until 2am in abscence as I later heard about from neighbors so having some reliable is not necessarily something one can assume.) Also because Bentley is a very social eater, he often waits to his meals for times when he has company. My last overnight dog sitter would come over to the house at 10:30pm - 11pm, meaning my dog was often alone for almost 12 hours and not eating until very late at night. Ray has been completely great about starting his overnight stays earlier in the evening which is a hugh relief to me and means Bentley has a more normal schedule. My neighbors have met Ray and all have very positive thins to say about him and Bentley adores Ray (for a timid breed this is really a good thing!). I would recommend Ray without reservation as a dog walker, overnight dog sitter or house sitter. If you have any further questions feel free to contact me. "

"It is with great pleasure that I recommend the services of Raymond K. Madore as a house and pet sitter. He has always given our dogs and cat the most loving care imaginable. Upon our return from a trip the house is immaculate, and everyone is purring and wagging. In fact, we wonder if the animals missed us at all!
Ray is intelligent, reliable and an elegant gentleman. My family has come to count on so much that we don't plan a trip if Ray isn't available. He also came highly recommended by mutual friends who feel much the same way. "

"Dear Pet Owner,nnAs a pet owner and also a busy professional in the animal health industry, I am pretty discerning when it comes to the care of my cat, Izzy. nWhen I was seeking a new care provider shortly after moving to Woodinville, I was fortunate enough to discover Ray’s Pro Pet Care. I called Ray and he made an appointment to come to my home to meet me, my husband and of course, Izzy. We were immediately impressed with Ray’s professionalism and organization. Izzy took to him immediately and it took us about five minutes to know he was our guy. What a relief! Ray is extremely professional, dependable and caring. He communicates with me regularly when he is caring for Izzy on an extended basis. I have always had a certain amount of guilt when I need to leave my cat in the care of others, but Ray’s caring nature and true affection for animals gives me great confidence that Izzy will be fine.nnI highly recommend Ray’s Pro Pet Care and know that if you choose to have him care for your pet that you will too!"nn-- Sue Ford (Woodinville, Washington)"
