About: Hello, My name is Rachel. I'm an Registerd nurse and graduate student. I work mostly in nursing education, health advocacy and Indigenous health. I am the owner of a golden doodle named Luffy. You may recognize him and myself as being a part of the Dog Friendly KW content creation team. When I initially got Luffy he was such a handful and we went through alot of hard work together to be able to go on so many dog friendly adventures. I utilize balanced training methods and have experience with slip leads, prongs and the e-collar. I know for myself how difficult it can be to find places for our pups to stay where the structure we implement with our pups is being followed and I decided to offer my services to support the dog community. I am not a dog trainer but I will ensure your pup has a great time while maintaining the structure they are used to. I work full time from home and I'm pretty flexible with my work. I try to structure my day in order to ensure I am able to provide the best possible pet care. I make sure to read how the pet is doing and the care plan that is provided to me and gage my actions based on that. I would follow the instructions of the pet owner to best care for their dog .

“Walter was amazing with my cat Ducky over the past four nights! My cat is usually very scared and shy, but was perfectly fine around Walter. He was also very flexible and allowed me to shift my bookings back three hours with short notice. It was so nice to not have to worry over the holidays knowing that my cat was well taken care of. I will definitely be booking with him again in the future and would recommend his services to anyone who wants the best care for their pet!”

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our two cats while we were away. Both our cats can be very messy with litter, food and water. When we returned our house looked great and the cats were well cared for! Sarah kept great communication and never missed a day that we requested. Absolutely will have her back next time.
