Here to treat your dogs as family!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs of varying breeds and sizes my entire life. I became more independent with my care around age 11 when I would take my Boston Terrier on solo walks in the park after school. I have always been very active in my dogs’ lives, whether it be going on runs, hikes, walks, feeding time, playing fetch, training, cuddles, and more. Back home in Virginia I have a mini Australian Shepherd with diabetes, so I have been trained by a veterinarian to administer insulin shots as well as regularly check insulin levels. Because of my lifelong proximity, I have experience with senior dogs, blind/disabled dogs, and puppies. Beyond personal experience, I spent a summer working in a doggy day care, volunteered for many years at an animal shelter, and am the most trusted guardian among my family and friends to take care of their pets. They know I love every animal as my own! Lastly, a quote from my friend, which may be the greatest compliment I have ever received: “I aspire to love every dog as much as you do.”
Reviews
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat Shadow. She is very reliable and Shadow warmed up to her right away! I would definitely use her again!
Wonderful service.
Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of my two dogs! I will book her again.
Rachel house sat for us and took care of our dog and cat for a week. She gave us great updates throughout the week and went above and beyond to keep our high-energy dog entertained. We came home to a tidy house and two very happy and healthy pets! I highly recommend Rachel for your pet-sitting needs, she truly loves animals and will give them all the attention they deserve.
About Rachel C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and attentive care is my number one priority with all animals. I am always very thorough in following the owner’s preferences/instructions, and would never put any animal at risk. When housesitting I am extremely respectful of your property and always leave homes in a clean, undisturbed state.
Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet
It is important for me to know the following before watching a dog: -necessary medication that may need to be administered -any specific health issues/concerns -temperament around other dogs/animals
A typical day
My favorite thing to do to stimulate my dogs is get out and about in the fresh air. Whether this be exploring new trails, going on a run, taking a walk in the park, or playing in the backyard, I find all of these activities to be very rewarding for dogs of all breeds (of course, activity will be adjusted for energy level/specific needs).
