Personalized care and love for dogs

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs and various animals all my life, and have extensive personal and professional experience in providing love and grooming/medical care to dogs of all kinds! My experiences include working as a vet assistant in clinics, volunteering as a veterinary assistant for grooming/care/procedures alongside the vets and technicians at my local animal shelter. I've also learned proper grooming/bathing techniques, animal restraint/handling techniques, and all kinds of care from my aunt who worked as a veterinary technician for over 20 years. As all my dogs have been rescues, I'm very familiar with a lot of health concerns and can provide comfort and care in a loving environment for chronically ill and/or special needs dogs. I also have extensive experience with exotic pets (reptiles, rodents, birds, fish, etc) and would be happy to provide additional care for any exotics you may have in addition to your dog(s). There's not an animal I don't love, and I'd be happy to provide care and any other needs your pets may require!

Rachael is one of the most knowledgeable and passionate people toward all animals, but especially domestic pets. She has raised dogs with special medical needs and it developed an incredible compassion and empathy and her heart even more than she already had. She has been an advocate for animals, including Ocean Animal's, for her entire life. She has volunteered for the local animal shelter caring for injured animals, she has been a volunteer guide at the Monterey Bay aquarium teaching children and adults about how to care for animals and our oceans. She was very involved in 4H growing up which increased her love for all animals even more. She is trustworthy, responsible and a very hard worker.

I'd like to know if your dog is house broken, has history of aggression, or has any medical problems or requirements. No breed preferences, all dogs are good dogs!

A typical day

There's many nice parks and dog parks in my area that make great walking areas, but if your dog has a favorite activity/location I'm open to whatever would make your pups happiest!
