Mr Maui Wowee is always up for a good strike & pose.

Fun fact, he was named after a Disney character. Anyone wanna take a guess on which movie this handsome boys name came from? 🌺🪸🌱🧜‍♂️🫧

Hello everyone! It's been a long awaited post but we have finally settled into our new home state and have decided to open back up RP&F with a few minor changes in place.

First things first, we are now located in Baxley, Ga. However we will be serving neighbouring counties as well, such as Hazlehurst, Surrency, Odum, Vidalia, Glennville, & surrounding areas!

To add, we will no longer be offering boarding until further notice. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

With that being said, we will be making an updated pricing list with services that are still available or that have been added & will be posted on the page to be viewed at your convenience.

Once again, we are a locally owned small business, and appreciate everyone who supports and trusts us with their fur (or not so furry) babies. If you are new here, welcome to the family & we hope you decide to stay awhile! :)

Heatstroke in pets is no joke and can absolutely be fatal. Dogs and cats are not able and don’t not sweat like humans do, therefore they pant to bring their body temperatures down, which in turn can quickly cause them to overheat!
Livestock animals are used to being outside an can withstand a range of temperatures, but please always keep in mind that they shouldn’t have to, just like you wouldn’t want to! All animals are breathing, living beings and deserve the same amount of respect and attention as you would want. Here are some tips to keep all of your pawed, hooved, furry, feathery, and bushy tailed friends happy and healthy during these long summer days ahead!!

- Always keep fresh and clean water nearby and accessible to your pets, as animals tend to drink more as their body temps rise.

- For any outside animals, it is ideal to have some type of shelter readily available for them whether it be trees, a lean to, a shed with proper air flow, or a barn with fans &/or open doors to allow air to pass through naturally and keep it cool inside.

- Making frozen treats for any of your pets is also a bonus at helping them stay cool as well as providing them with a nice treat as well! Pretty much any vegetables can be chopped up and frozen in an electrolyte water mix & given to livestock. A mixture of fruits, Greek yogurt and peanut butter make a great summer treat for the pets inside!

- Please limit any excersize for your pets, or change their normal schedule to early morning or late afternoons if your baby needs a little more excersize then others. If your pets must be outside for whatever reason, please make sure there is body of water for them to get into or under to cool themselves down in! (Ex: kiddie pool, sprinkler/misting hose)

- stay off asphalt/concrete!! If it is too hot for you to walk barefoot on, it is too hot for them to walk on without proper footwear as well!

- I hate that I even have to say this, but please never leave your pet in a hot car, even with the windows cracked!!

There are so many ways to keep your pets cooled and comfortable during these times. Please feel free to reach out to us or contact your vet for any additional ideas or ways to prevent getting overheated! I have also provided some links below for treats, tips and tricks as well!! 💕

Hello everyone!

Just a heads up, my nieces birthday party is being held July 29th, therefore I will be reserving that day for myself and will not be available to schedule any sits for that day. I will be available for overnight sits but no check ins, or walks! I hope you all understand!

With love,
Rae’s Pets & Friends 🤍🤍

Hello everyone!

We’ve had a lot of new visitors to our page so I figured why not introduce myself!! ☺️

Hi! My name is Rae’ and I have an obsession with all things animals 🐶🐱🐭🐹🐰🦊🐻🐼🐻‍❄️🐨🐯🦁🐮🐷🐸🐵🐔🐧🦆🦉🦋🐝🐌🐙🐠🐊🦧🦚🦥
I was born & raised in good ole GA, and currently reside in middle TN and have so for the past 7+ years! I am 23, and was raised around a variety of all different types of animal life! I don’t think I went a day of my life without a furry friend in or outside of our home. From raising chicks in my grandmothers bedroom closet, to sleeping in the barn for the night with the ponies, if you can think it, I’ve probably done or been around it when it comes to animals.
Currently, I have a doggo of my own and a sweet 4 year old mare who was born and raised on my property. Both are very spoiled, loved and adored, so please do not let them convince you otherwise!! 🤣
My mom passed on a generational love for animals and a passion for equines. I was also very fortunate to be able to learn from her when it comes to training aspects as well as forming a bond with each individual animal that I come into contact with which has 100% been a blessing. I used to run a small intimate rescue and rehabilitation program which mostly involved equines but let’s be honest, you can never just have one potato chip, can ya? ☺️ I have experience with rescuing all stages of life, and although I am absolutely no professional, I genuinely believe I was called in life to be around animals of all sorts. I find comfort in knowing that these souls are able to speak the loudest without ever being able to say a word. I always want to learn more about each animal I encounter, and I truly don’t think I’d ever turn down an opportunity to get to learn about or see what beautiful creatures God designs. 🤍

I have really enjoyed my journey over these last few months of building ‘Rae’s Pets & Friends’ and absoutley cannot wait to see what in store ahead as well as creating friendships and bonds that’ll last a lifetime! 🤍🤍🤍

I get to watch these beautiful babies for the next few days while the paw-rents are out of town. These girls are so sweet, smart, and VERY wiggly when excited!! ☺️💜🤍💜🤍 I love it!!!

Tomorrow is my last night with these super sweet boys and I’m sad :((( I know they will be happy to have their pawrents (parents 😉) home but I’m going to miss being snuggled up to and having my own personal body warmer 😂. These boys are the sweetest ever!
