Trust Is The Hardest Part

The hardest part about booking a dog walker is trust, and I know this from trying to book sitters for my own pets. Trusting someone to enter your home when you're not there, that's a big ask, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I have several reviews from pet parents that will show I have been trustworthy to be in their homes, with their pets, for the past 16 years. ~ Use code RACHAG81032 when booking with me and get $20 off your first visit! ~ Hi! I'm Rachael and I have been taking care of animals in a professional capacity for over 16 years! In that time the dogs I've cared for have ranged from the tiniest chihuahua to biggest Bernese mountain dog, and all manner of jumpers and pullers. Plus the cutest little kitties you can imagine! ~ I walk dogs and care for pets in Orange MA, Monday through Friday between 11-3. If there's something specific you need, don't be afraid to ask! ~ I typically book for a half hour - during that half hour I can walk your dog, scoop your cats litter box, feed all your pets, water your plants, etc. Everything that you'd expect from a house sitter/pet sitter and I can send you pictures and updates of your pets as well for peace of mind. ~ Talk to me about poop scooping/yard clean up!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets as if they were my own and will follow any instructions you give me. I'm also more than willing to scoop the litter box, feed the fish, water the plants, and feed your pets if that's something you need done within the time frame. :)

Rachael is the first pet sitter we have ever hired. She was great. Came to meet us and the girls(cats) before we went away. They went right to her. She sent daily reports and pictures. It's comforting to know your pets are in good hands. Thanks Rachael

Rachael has been very reliable and takes great care of Rocco. She is very concerned about his safety and makes sure his water bowl is full. Rocco loves taking walks with Rachael!

Polite, professional and down to the point. She's always made accommodations for my last minute requests, is very patient when I forget to pay her until way later, and even brings her own poop bags! My dog is very easy to walk and loves all people, so I can't gush about their interactions but I can say that a lot of times Rachel walks AND spends some quality time my dog. I can tell because it results in less anxiousness, more frustration tolerance, and she's not directly on my heels when I get home! Highly recommend.
