Highlights
Pet care experience
I love training puppies!
I've fostered and trained 14 puppies until they found their forever homes, with organizations like R.A.R.E Rescue and Big Fluffy Dog Rescue. I especially love teaching puppies tricks, such as "sit," "spin," "come here," I can teach them to recognize their names, and I can potty and crate train as well. I used to volunteer at the Nashville Humane Society walking and socializing dogs and cats, and I have experience taking care of animals with special needs or special medical instructions. I love taking pictures of cute moments and will make sure any animal staying with me is loved and cared for! I've had both cats, dogs, and a snake as pets, and I have experience petsitting other animals for neighbors such as different reptiles, ferrets, and bunnies, so I'm definitely capable of taking care of any animal with specific instructions.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rachael was great with Leia. I definitely recommend.
Rachael was wonderful! She asked the right questions before booking, sent pics of my pup through her stay, walked her regularly, and was very detailed with records she took to ensure my Sophie was happy, safe, and comfortable through her stay! Highly recommend!
Rachael took such good care of my girls. I didn’t have to worry the entire time she was watching them and she gave frequent check-in’s to let me know they were doing well. I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future.
Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our dogs and cat. She communicated with us at least once a day updating us on the activities of our pets. She did a great job ensuring our pups were comfortable throughout our trip. We would definitely schedule her again to take care of our pets
Rachael is a reliable dog sitter. We loved how she takes good care our furbaby.
Rachael took fantastic care of my 10 year old husky shepherd mix. She was flexible, communicative, and caring. I’m a little sad Lila won’t be staying with her anymore and would happily book again. Thank you so much ❤️

Schedule
I am self-employed and work from home, so pet care fits perfectly into my schedule. I have flexible hours and can be available for last minute requests. I also have a car to swing by at any time to take dogs on walks throughout the day or even drive to a dog park.

Safety, trust & environment
I just moved to New York from Tennessee, so I'm a little new to the area. If you have any special requests, I'd love to help out in any way I can!
A typical day
I love to stimulate animals mentally and building their confidence with training, especially new puppies or rescue animals. Pets are so smart and it makes my day when they first learn to their names or their first "sit." I also love watching pets have the time of their lives with zoomies and toys. For high energy pets, I can drive to a dog park if it's something the owners are comfortable with or play with pets in their homes. If your pet has any favorite trails or walking spots, do let me know!

- I'm used to watching rescues and training and socializing puppies, so I can recognize most animal body language and signals, but do let me know if your pet has any special behaviors I need to look out for.
