Pre-Veteinary Student Loves Dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Rachael Gracyalny! I am a pre-veterinary student at the University of Alabama in my junior year. I’ve been volunteering with animals since I could walk and have taken care of my own for 10 years. I have also worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel technician and veterinary assistant for 3 years. Therefore, I am skilled at knowing what an animal needs/wants just by the look in their eyes! I have worked with most dog breeds, from Yorkies to Great Pyrenees. I also have experience with cats, birds, and reptiles. I can recognize signs of acute health issues and administer medications if needed, or follow instructions to monitor chronic issues. I am available most days, and would love to work with you!

Don't let her relative youth fool you! Rachael is an old soul when it comes to dogs. She's taken care of my three Labs several times (at my home). I live on a farm, so the things Rachael's faced here are (hopefully!) not typical at your home. From having to deal with them covered in deer poo after a good roll to close encounters with skunks to the moles they bring as "gifts," Rachael just takes it all in stride. It's what dogs do, right? No drama, no complaints, no problems. I've also seen her with special needs dogs, and she helped one of mine when rehabbing from a torn ACL. She's gentle, calm and dogs trust her - even when they're not feeling well. I don't trust my home and my babies to just anyone, but I trust her. My Labs adore her and I'm sure you and your dogs (and cats!) will, too!
Rachael has sat with our four dogs on many occasions. They are all very fond of her and look forward to her visits. She always does a great job with them. She has also worked as a veterinary assistant and has a great deal of skill and knowledge in this area. I highly recommend her as a dog sitter.
