Pet care experience
Hello puppy, dog, and ALL pet parents alike! My name is Rachael & If it’s not obvious already: I LOVE dogs and ALL animals, like a lot! I’ve had them all of my life, many different breeds of dogs; also rabbits, cats, horses, and reptiles! HOWEVER- I cannot wait to meet your very best friend in this whole entire world!! I look forward to spending a nice morning stroll, afternoon meander around the neighborhood or park, and/or a brisk evening walk (maybe even a jog!) with your pet! And wether you are chasing around a brand new youngster pup full of energy, or going slow and steady while reminiscing over all the years of love with your senior sidekick, i promise to give your pet the same love, care, and attention i would give my very own! A little bit about me- I have lived with, worked, and LOVED many many animals in my years. I exclusively worked with a kennel of over 60 greyhounds that raced on tracks ranging from Alabama to the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida. In my younger years I rode barrel on my horse Fancy, a thoroughbred/quarter horse- and continue to ride whenever I can! Many of my own personal and family dogs were brought into the family as puppies and raised by my family and myself, same with kittens! Currently I share a home with a sassy rabbit that stole my heart with her lopsided ears! And for many years I worked as a dog bather in a few grooming shops around Orange County! I love animals (if that didn’t shine through) and it would make me just wag my tail with excitement to meet your babies and have them share their next walk with me today!!
Reviews
Rachel was amazing. She was probably the most attentive pet sitter I've ever had. She set great pictures and updates. My little Ripley was calm and happy when we got home for our trip. I will definitely use her services again!
So so incredible having Rachael look after our dogs. She was wonderful with them and always kept me updated and sent lots of pictures. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Rachael is a wonderful dog walker who takes excellent care of our Bailey girl. She is reliable, trustworthy and we appreciate her communication before, during and after her walks. We know with certainty that Bailey is in good hands when walking with Rachael and she always comes home happy, exercised and ready for her afternoon nap!
Rachael has watched my two chihuahuas and cat on multiple occasions. She is so sweet and kind to them! She is a great communicator and always ensures my pets have been given the best care, whether it’s just for a walk or for an overnight sitting. I would definitely recommend Rachael as a caregiver for your pets!

I unfortunately do not currently have the ability to board any dogs in my home, or offer a doggy daycare service at present time. However, I am open (and excited!) to dog sit daily or overnight, and also offer drop-ins to walk, play, and feed. I am available to offer outings to the beach or dog park nearby- upon request or approval (i typically avoid interaction with other pets to avoid mishaps!) All dog walks, drop-ins, overnights, and sitting services I make sure to check in with notes, photos or videos every service OR every couple of hours (for longer services). I want to make sure that your pet is taken care of with everything that they need to be away from you confidently, and securely! I also take pride in being very respectful in every pet residence, and make sure your home is taken care of! I will always make sure you come back to a home that is in the same, or better, conditions than how you left for your trip or vacation. I do recommend leaving any notes detailing specific pet care routines- to keep them on their schedule rather than guessing, and possibly making mistakes! I hope you will be comfortable knowing that this is truly a passion of mine, not just a job, and I take very seriously the opportunity given to me to take care of your baby in your home while you’re away. And always feel free to reach out!
Information Rachael R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or any behaviors that either you have noticed, or has been trouble for other walkers. If you have a puppy, maybe we can work on basic commands. Or if you have a big strong dog that pulls a lot, I carry a dog walking kit and we can try using the Easy Lead to see if that helps! I also like to know if your dog is allowed to have treats, or if they have dietary restrictions (I will never give treats without permission!) When I drop a dog back at home I make sure that they have fresh water in their bowl, and if there’s any time you would like me to do feeding, I would be more than happy to!
A typical day
Honestly, I follow the lead of the dog that I’m walking! They always know what they like, and where they like to go everyday! One of my “quirks” I picked up while dog walking was making sure to take at least one really good photo of your pet with every service that I do. That way I can bring them home with a little piece of our time together! I love getting down to the water water when the beach is nearby, but overall I like to just explore new areas and see what’s around!

Availability
I have a VERY open and flexible schedule! Pet care, as a whole, allows me to find balance and peace from the hustle and bustle of the chaotic world around us! So I can absolutely accept same-day walks, as well as offers to drop in and pet-sit for multiple days. If you choose, I would love to schedule a meet and greet beforehand as well! Knowing my new furry friends parents help me understand their needs and schedules just a little bit better!
