Care that'll keep tails wagging

I am an avid animal lover with extensive experience in various aspects of pet care. With a background as a veterinary technician, I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal health, well-being, and behavior. In addition to my veterinary experience, I’ve worked in pet sitting, pet boarding, dog training, and grooming (both cats and dogs), giving me firsthand knowledge of the unique needs of animals at every stage of life, from neonates to puppies, kittens, adults, and seniors. I’m highly skilled in administering medications and providing care for pets with special health needs, whether it’s managing daily meds, special diets, or just ensuring their overall comfort and safety. My approach is always both competent and compassionate. I’m also an active individual who enjoys spending quality time with animals. If a dog loves long walks, I’m always ready to take them on an adventure, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and outdoor enrichment. With a patient, gentle demeanor and a true love for animals, I always make sure every pet I care for is treated with the utmost respect and care.

Rachael took on care of our pup upon short notice. She was informative and friendly and kept us in the loop over the course of Remi’s stay. She even gave a bath before sending her home, which we appreciated very much.

I usually do not leave reviews but Rachael is such a great choice, she really made me feel like my dogs were in a good place getting well taken care of. I booked her for boarding and she consistently sent me updates/photos and walked both of my dogs each day. I have a large puppy whos not 100% trained (he is usually a lot) & a senior dog who has separation anxiety however Rachael handled them sooo well &my dogs seemed to be truly having the time of their lives! I picked up my babies and was also pleasantly surprised when she bathed them and did their nails at no extra charge. Rachael is a sweetheart, 10/10 recommend!

Safety, trust & environment

I am highly detail-oriented and take great pride in following instructions to a tee, ensuring that every aspect of pet care is executed exactly as requested. My attention to detail allows me to provide consistent, reliable service tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Additionally, I have experience working with reactive and aggressive dogs, handling them with patience, understanding, and a calm demeanor. I am committed to creating a safe and positive environment for all pets, using appropriate techniques to manage behavior and promote their well-being.

Pets

A typical day

I am passionate about finding creative and effective ways to mentally and physically engage dogs, ensuring that all their daily needs are met. Whether it's using puzzle feeders to stimulate their minds, incorporating sniff walks to satisfy their natural curiosity, or engaging them in training sessions to reinforce positive behaviors, I am always seeking new and enriching activities to keep them happy and fulfilled. I believe that a well-rounded routine that challenges both the body and mind is essential for a dog’s overall well-being, and I am dedicated to providing them with the stimulation and exercise they need to thrive.
