Pet care experience

Hoping to spread love to other dogs!

I have had 3 dogs in my lifetime. I grew up with a Bichon-Shih Tzu and a Doberman. Sadly both passed away however 2 years ago me and my family got a Doberman puppy! All were crate trained but once they became adults we unlocked the crates 24/7. Our newest Doberman went for boarding school training and we maintained it. 2 of them were neutered and one was not. I am from Canada so I am missing my doggy from home and am hoping to share my love with Edinburgh doggy’s!

Cookie absolutely loved staying with Rachael. In fact I don’t think she wanted to leave! Cookie settled in with Rachael very quickly and was soon playing and snoozing and just having the best time. Rachael sent us updates and photos and we felt very comfortable that Cookie was having a great time in safe hands. Would have no hesitation in booking Cookie in with Rachael again and also recommending her to anyone.

Rachael is a responsible and dedicated young adult. Everyone who has worked with her has nothing but positive feedback. Rachael is hardworking, disciplined and loyal. She absolutely loves animals and has grown up with cats and dogs. Her current family dog is a doberman named “Elvis”! Rachael is a natural with animals and lights up with the biggest smile when she is around them! Rachael is a perfect candidate for rover.com.

Rachael would be an amazing pet caregiver. She has grown up with pets through her childhood into adulthood and expresses so much love and compassion for them. She shows great responsibility and dedication towards ensuring her pets are well fed, groomed, walked, and most importantly loved. I know she will continue to show the same commitment and care for any pet that she encounters or works with!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a flat in Marchmont with one other flatmate who also loves dogs. I am on the third floor so have easy access to outdoors and live a two minute walk from the meadows. I am flexible to all types of training and food preparation and am willing for all as well.

A typical day

Take them for walks in the meadows during the day. Can take them for treats or give them treats if permitted. Can provide them with toys to play with or accept toys.
