Ready to tend to your dogs' needs!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Rachael and I live in Philadelphia. I have been dog-sitting for about 12 years now. I've taken care of small and big dogs and love caring for them and also playing with them. I have a 10 year old retriever pitbull myself that my family rescued. I know how to care for her when she's stressed out, like when there is a thunderstorm or fireworks going off. So, I can provide a calming atmosphere for dogs when needed and am always ready to have fun with dogs, too! I have experience administering oral medications as well. I have cared for up to three dogs at the same time. I love making dogs feel at ease and I love seeing their high energy when we play! I am currently available for dog walking and at-home visits while you are away.
Reviews
I have known Rachael for over 10 years. She started out babysitting my kids, but eventually the kids got old enough to not need a sitter. When we got our dog 7 years ago she started to pet sit for us as well. Rachael is a caring, attentive sitter who loves dogs. She has a dog at home that she is devoted to and adores. She is great with following directions on how to feed, walk and give medications. Our dog gets excited when she sees her because she knows Rachael will walk her, play with her and shower her with love! I highly recommend Rachael to be your go to pet sitter and walker!
About Rachael L.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Currently, I live with a small corgi mix puppy that belongs to my two roommates. I am not currently offering in-home care for other pets, as I do not want to interfere with my roommate's dog, but at your home I can play with them, feed them, relax with them, walk them, and do whatever you need me to do to provide a safe environment for your pet!
Information Rachael L. would like to know about your pet
If they like to be outside for a long time when they go potty in the backyard, what is the easiest way to get them back inside? Also, are they afraid of loud noises/thunderstorms?
A typical day
If we are going on a walk, we can go to a dog park if the owner is comfortable with the dog interacting with other dogs, or we can alternate between running and walking on our walk. We can go to different parks, play frisbee/catch, or run around in the backyard.
Services
Rachael can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently working part time, so I have pretty open availability each week for visits and dog walking! I love spending time with animals and can ensure I provide top notch service for your pets.
