Pet care experience

Happy pup, happy life 🐾🦮

My goal is to bring joy and love to pets and peace of mind to the owners. I stared taking care of a dog in my neighborhood when I was around 15 years old. Walking her for 7 days a week a couple times a day helping an elderly woman. That’s when I learned I wanted more experience with animals especially dogs. I always loved being around dogs and treating them like my own. Ive looked after and cared for many different dog breeds and sizes over the years on and off Rover. I’ve also gained some experience training with a professional dog trainer with a litter of puppies.

Rachael put my timid senior rescue girly at ease right away. It was such a relief to know she'd be well-cared for. Rachael even got on the floor and tried to handfeed her, when she wasn't interested in her breakfast! Lots of pics and updates, too. Will definitely be using Rachael again.

Rachael made my timid rescue girly feel comfortable right away! She knows a lot about dog behaviors and it was so nice knowing she’d be taken care of while we were going through a trying time.

Rachael was a great sitter for max. She took him out on adventures and they had a great time together. She sent pictures and let us know how he was doing throughout the stay. She took great care of max and we’ll definitely be booking her again!

Rachael was great with Bramble and she quickly built trust and was able to communicate promptly.

Doggy Day Care • Feb 26, 2024

Rachael was great! Good communicator and easy to connect with. She watched my two 60 pound hound mixes while I attended a family get-together. She shared some pics of their walks. Nice not to have worry about them for the day. Not tons of parks in the area, so you may want to check with her if your dog needs daily runs.

Safety, trust & environment

As a pet caregiver, I provide individualized care based on each pet's unique needs and routines. Whether at my home, a clients, or on a walk. I ensure the pets receive proper nutrition, exercise, love, and attention. I also stay in communication with pet owners to keep them updated and provide with pictures. For boarding in my home I also live next to a park which I bring the dogs to play and run around. Safety and comfort for the pets always comes first. Making sure you and your pup are satisfied.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for long walks showing them new places. Taking dogs on small adventures with the owners permission. I have dog toys at my home incase you forget to bring your own, so your pup will never be bored.
