Pet care experience

Playtime!

I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.

Rachel was so great to my puppy when she came over to let her out in the middle of the day, on multiple occasions. She understood her puppy needs and took such great care of her. Rachel sends fun and informative pictures, so I always felt like my puppy was getting the care and attention she needed.

Rachael was very accommodating and sent lots of photos which we really appreciated! We were a little nervous that our dog wouldn’t get the attention she needed since Rachael cares for multiple dogs at a time, however it was clear that she took wonderful care of Cannoli! She followed our instructions and made sure Cannoli received specialized care. Our dog had a wonderful time and Rachael is fantastic to work with.

Rachel and the team (dog friends) were wonderful. So much personal care and attention. Lots of exercise and cuddles. She is GREAT. We can't recommend her enough. We will most definitely book again. Thank you for taking such great care of our pup.

Rachael did an amazing job walking our puppy. She was flexible with times and also booked last minute. Lacey looked very happy to have a new friend walk her! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.

Pets

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and happy with fun activities that match their personality and energy level. This can include walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys and games. Having a dog park down the road from me, if your doggie enjoys play time! For more relaxed pets, I enjoy cuddle time, gentle play, and giving them lots of attention and affection. If the pet enjoys training, I can also practice basic commands and positive reinforcement games to keep their mind stimulated. My goal is to make sure every pet has fun, stays active, and feels loved while in my care.
