North End Dog Walker and Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
👋🏼 Hi I’m Rachel! I live in the North End, but I also lived on Shore Dr. in the past - you’ve probably seen me walking my dog Millie. I’ve had a dog (or two) in my family for my entire life. I’m the random stranger in public that will ask if I can pet your dog and absolutely fall in love. My family dogs have all been rescues including a chow mix, black lab, pit bull mix, and hounds galore. I also fostered many dogs in college! I have trained a working breed puppy in the past and am currently training my own golden retriever/coonhound puppy. I have experience caring for small and XL dogs as well as cats, Guinea pigs, chickens etc! 🐈⬛ And can’t forget about the kitties!!! I know just like dogs, cats have many different personalities! I love the ones who want to make biscuits for hours on my lap, and I equally love the ones who just want to be left alone and pretend I’m not there. I am doing Rover because I have extra time and a passion for animals. I will treat your pet with the love and time I would want someone watching my own dog to give her. I have been trusted by my neighbors, family members, friends, and coworkers to watch their pets for as long as I can remember! I hope to meet your pet too :)
Reviews
This was our first time leaving our pup since he has become a single dog and we were a little nervous with how he would do but RACHEL was absolutely amazing with him!! She spent quality time with him and gave him all the love and affection he needed while we were away. We are so lucky to have found her and will be using her in the future for sure!!
Excellent pet sitter! She was very communicative and easy to work with. She did a great job with my pets and sent lots of photos. I'll absolutely ask her to pet sit again and will be recommending her to all my friends in the area!
Rachel is awesome! She is super flexible and great with my dog:)
Rachel was great with Daisy! Will definitely use her again :)

I will be sure to leave your home exactly how I found it and put your pup back safely in their kennel if directed. I always double check when locking up!
Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know your pets daily routine and the best way to make them feel comfortable and happy while you’re away! It’s also important to note any allergies/behavior quirks/medications/etc. I’m confident handling dogs that are reactive I’d just like to know beforehand to ensure I keep them safe and we can avoid stressors when possible.
A typical day
I love taking my dog to swim at the beach and bay and to sniff around in the state park! It’s so good for dogs to go to new places and walk new routes with different smells, so I always try to switch it up when walking clients dogs! If you live close to the beach/bay/trails I will definitely walk there!
