Pigs, dogs and cats...oh my!

Pet care experience

My entire life, my family has always had at least 3 dogs and cats. When I was 8, we started a pig rescue, and now have 14 rehabilitated pot-bellies, and a flock of chickens as well! I've known all about pet care and have been animal sitting since I was 10 years old! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets for many years. I love animals, and always will!

Safety, trust & environment

Whenever I am pet-sitting, I make sure to show the animal that I am friendly, and am not going to hurt them! I am sure to ask about any allergies, or conditions they may have so I am fully prepared. I also make sure I know who the animals' veterinarian is in case of an emergency. I will be sure to play with them and show them plenty of love!

Information Rachael S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Also please let me know if they have any health concerns that may require medication.

A typical day

I love playing games with my dogs and the dogs I take care of. I will run them around, play fetch, have them do little puzzles for mental stimulation, you name it!
