Information Rachael G. would like to know about your pet

Any medications and timing of those is very important as well as any behaviors or things to avoid. I love all breeds of dogs and cats!

A typical day

I love to take dogs on long walks (if tolerated) so they can stop and sniff and enjoy their time. I love cuddling up on the couch or playing with them whether it’s a ball, rope toy or just running around!

Location

Young, friendly and PET LOVING!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life! My family and then myself have adopted and taken care of dogs and cats of all ages but more recently, I have adopted senior dogs and taken care of all their needs.

Rachael was able to help us out with very little notice. She was so sweet with my 2 pups and they loved her. They are older and really just want someone to sit with them and give them hugs. My chihuahua is sometimes a little grouchy & nervous. Rachael put them right at ease and handled them well on walks. We hope we can have her back again soon!

Rachael was a super great Mom for my boy for an overnight. She responded quick to a last minute request and was very accommodating. Lu could not have been happier and didn't want to leave. He's looking forward to his next play date with Rachael
