About: I have cared for animals my whole life. I grew up on a small farm taking care of pigs, geese, chickens, steers, goats, cats dogs birds, turtles, hermit crabs, you name it! My schedule is quite flexible, and I’m happy to work around both of our schedules to accommodate any care needs. Have a special request? Just ask! I will always treat others’ pets as if they were my own. I am highly trustworthy and have owned and operated three different businesses in my young life, one of which I still run. Prior to that, I worked in healthcare. I take great pride in being dependable and trustworthy in all my endeavors.
About: I have had dogs all my life. I have been caring for other people's dogs in their own homes on and off for 8 years. I currently work as an independent contractor so I have some open availability for pet care at almost any time of day most nights and most holidays too. I do not offer boarding since my dog is very territorial and jealous but I do over night stays, drop ins and walking (and of course play time!)
About: Since adopting our dog as a puppy in 2020, I have gained a new found love for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages. My dog, Marley, likes to come along and play with dogs too, when allowed. I work from home making jewelry, and sell at pop up events on the weekends. So I have free time during the day and a means of transportation to walk dogs and make some extra money on the weekdays. I live in a campground in Elberton, GA and can either walk the dog at the owners house, around the owners neighborhood, OR I can take the pup for a ride to a park in Elberton or the campground where I stay.
“Rachelle was great with our two Shih Tzu mix dogs. She was patient with our 13 yr old and playful with the puppy. She was adaptable to our changing schedule needs. She kept me informed of their activities and have me confidence that they were being well looked after while I was gone. Highly recommend Rachelle!”

I trained puppies and always pay attention to body language and behavior. I work every other weekend currently at a motorcycle range. My week days are free and so are my nights.

I feed him on a set schedule and make sure he has plenty of space for his zoomies and play time. He is a single cat and likes it that way. For client’s homes, I will follow any and all instructions for their pet and keep their home tidy and keep their pets clean as well, including litter boxes, food spills, etc.
