A local helping locals with pets!
Pet care experience
Hi y’all - I go by Elle! Please see below for my availability. :) I’ve had pets since I was 5 years old and always helped w/ them. I’ve worked in animal care (kennels, farms, training) since a young age and love it so much - dogs, cats, lizards, horses, fish, and so on. I have an associates in education and worked in special education until recently. Currently I’m in my last semester for my bachelor’s in biology. I have endless patience and adoration for animals, and am just a local looking to help other locals out with their pets of all shapes and sizes.
Reviews
Elle was so great. The rover cards filled out were very thorough and they were very punctual and did so great with my kitty cat. Will be using them next weekend again hopefully!
I’ve seen them care for their dogs over the past six plus years and have been impressed by the amount of love, care, and devotion they show. Their time spent training their animals really shows. Their dogs are the most loving and well behaved dogs I’ve ever met. They also have been around my cats before and have always shown compassion and respect and have taken care of them like their own.
They are an amazing animal lover! Regardless of the size, breed, or attitude, they will find something to love about your animal friend. Having several dogs of their own, Rachael always does the very best to make sure they are happy and healthy. Rachael has a way with all different types of animals and has an amazing empathy and compassion for them, always doing what is in their best interest. Your pet will love them. Tails will wag seeing Rachael come to your door. They are courteous, punctual, and ready to give their best. And, you'll want to save all the cute photos Rachel takes of your pet!
Elle is an excellent person to help you with your pet’s care! They have pets of their own that require special attention and medications, and I’ve seen firsthand how diligently and compassionately they care for their pet’s needs. I have entrusted my own dog’s care with them previously, and would do so again in an instant. I know that my dog (or two cats) are in safe hands while they are with Elle. I highly recommend them for their experienced and gentle care with pets.
About Rachael T.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all animals as if they are my own in the sense of love and care, while still respecting the owners requirements for their pets and the pets personal boundaries. I’m comfortable feeding, giving medication, playing with, giving cuddles, bathing, walking, taking to appointments, etc. all pets depending on their needs. I’m happy making animals happy!
Information Rachael T. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know their age, energy level, any medical needs (including allergies), and what their favorite activities are so I can make sure my time with your pet is ideal to their needs and your expectations.
A typical day
I love taking dogs on walks at local historical sights! There’s so many smells and safe terrain to enjoy there. Also so great for more nervous dogs that don’t want to be around as many people/animals than places like downtown. This is all with owner permission to go in the car with their pet, of course. I have a very spacious backyard myself with two extremely friendly, well trained, spayed labs named Shelby and Callie who would love for any pup friends to come over and run around if you aren’t looking to socialize your pup in a safe space instead of general walks. Always happy to discuss options!
