Capitol Hill Dog Lover!
Pet care experience
Hello! I grew up with dogs and have taken care of dogs as a dog sitter and walker since I was in middle school. I am a dog lover and very comfortable with all dogs. I know how important your pets are to you and will make sure you and them are comfortable!! My services: Dog walking - I love walking and there's nothing better than wandering DC with a dog buddy! I'm familiar with several harness types and will do my best to re-enforce good behavior. Pet-sitting - I am happy to provide companionship to your pets while you are out of town. I've been pet sitting for friends dogs and cats for many years. Drop-Ins: Happy to stop by and play with your pet and help them burn some energy and let them out for a potty break.
Reviews
This was our first time using Rover and someone other than family/friends watching our two dogs so we were a little nervous, but Rachael did such a great job dog sitting for us last weekend. She sent daily updates (with cute pictures!), took our dogs out on walks, spent lots of quality time with them, and treated them with so much care and love the entire time. Rachael communicated clearly and made sure she had all the information needed to properly take care of them. She also took great care of our house during her stay. She really treated our dogs like they were her own and was super respectful of our space. It was clear when we got home that everything was well taken care of the entire time! I would easily hire her again the next time we go out of town. Thanks again, Rachael!
Rachael was great with our 2 pups! We got plenty of updates and pictures throughout the process. Rachael was attentive and communicated well the entire time.
Rachel was great! We and our pets clicked with her right away. I felt comfortable leaving both our pets and our house in her care. She is responsible and sensible and our rather anxious and leash reactive new rescue dog adores her. I feel very fortunate to have found her on short notice so that I could leave town for an important family visit.
Rachael took great care of my dog Frankie while I was out of town. Frankie has some issues with separation anxiety, but she loved Rachael and was very relaxed and happy spending time with her. And Rachael left my house cleaner than it was when she found it. Highly recommend!
