Pet care experience
I have always had both dogs and cats in the home along with exotic animals such as turtles, hamsters, rats, and bearded dragons along with fish. Currently at home I have a 3 year old pitbull/boxer mix and a beagle mix who is 15 years old. I helped train our pitbull and have experience with puppies. I also dog and cat sit along with house sit for various people in my community during breaks and holidays.

so kind and flexible! arrived on time and took such great care of Melo!
Rachel is a dream pet sitter! My dogs fell in love with her. She is a smart, reliable young woman with a very positive energy. Perfect!
I can't say enough great things about Rachel, our incredible dog walker! She is the epitome of responsibility and trustworthiness, making her an absolute gem when it comes to caring for our fur babies! Rachel's common sense approach is delightful. She understands the unique needs of each of our three dogs and tailors her care to suit them perfectly. It's clear that she genuinely loves dogs, and her passion shines through in every interaction. Our dogs absolutely adore her, and it's not hard to see why. They are so excited when she comes here. Rachel takes the time to connect with each dog individually, making them each feel super special. What sets Rachel apart is her unwavering maturity and responsibility. She goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our dogs and keep things on track in our home when we're on vacation. She takes her responsibilities seriously, putting our minds at ease, and I trust her to make good decisions if any issues arise. Additionally, Rachel's communication is impeccable. She confirms, follow up and keeps us in the loop if anything seems off when we're away so we always know exactly what's going on with the dogs. If you're looking for a dog walker who is responsible, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about your pets' well-being, look no further than Rachel. She's the best, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone in need of top-notch dog care.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When in a clients home I care for the dog just as instructed to do so and try to maintain a stable environment as if their person was home. This is to reduce the stress for the pet in what is already likely a stressful situation. As for the trust I love to meet the pet before caring for them or taking them on walks in order to ensure trust and make sure the pet is comfortable so everyone is safe and receives the best care. If for walks/run, I make sure not to go beyond the dogs fitness level, as my goal is to get their energy out and not to completely exhaust them.
Information Rachael S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any medications, commands, or possible behavioral issues ahead of time! If it is something you may think can be a deterrent, let me know and we can talk about things and come up with something everyone is comfortable with.
A typical day
I love to maintain a stimulating environment for the dog and if the dog is young continue training and providing care and fun t the same time! If the dog loves the beach I am also happy to bring them there!

I am currently a full-time student, so getting out and around pets which I lack where I am right now is perfect for my schedule. It allows me my much needed pet time. I love to take morning walks/runs and evenings, and have breaks throughout the day in which I can care for your pet.
