About Rachael P.

Communication

4 repeat pet parents
100% response rate
Usually responds in under half an hour
70% bookings with photo updates
Sends updates with Rover Cards

Skills

2 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

As I only care for pets in client's homes, I will adhere to whatever routine you and your dog have established. I'm just a substitute teacher, putting on a VHS to make the kids happy.

Information Rachael P. would like to know about your pet

Besides any special movement needs your pet might have (e.g., bad hips so no jumping off of couches or picking up) please let me know how they react to other dogs. Plus, their favorite place to be scratched!

A typical day

Plenty of walks and trips to nearby dog parks so we can socialize and get that crazy energy out. I love when you can tell a dog has had a good, full day of play and just wants to snuggle on the couch in the evening! We can practice any training they've been working on and challenge their brains as well as their bodies.

Pet care experience

After living with a chaotic corgi and world's best beagle for 2 years, I've fallen in love with being a pet aunt! While renting makes owning a dog a far off dream, I'll just have to lavish my love on your babies in the meantime. I'm an experienced walker of multiple dogs, love to play and enforce current/ongoing training techniques you've implemented in your home. I love fulfilling dog's exercise and intelligence needs so they can be as happy and stress-free as possible! Help me help you!

Rachael is the best! She’s a great communicator and she took great care of both our place and our pet while we were on an extended vacation!

Rachael was great with our exuberant and slightly anxious puppies and our older cat. She kept in regular contact and within a day everyone was looking happy and relaxed. I'm only slightly jealous the pups didn't miss us more, but it speaks well to the care she provided. We're already looking forward to our next trip and she's our top choice for care!

Rachael was so good with Juno! We were so happy to have someone stay with her and give her some normalcy while we were away. Rachael sent us updates, adorable photos, and Juno looked comfy and content in each one. We’re so happy to have found Rachael and we know Juno is too! We will book with her anytime we have to go on a trip!

Our pup Juno was so happy to have Rachael take her out for a walk while we were away. We will definitely continue to book with Rachael in the future!
