I have a dog of my own so I’ve learned to manage my time well and ensure that animals are given the proper nurturing that they require. I make pet care a part of my daily routine just as I would brush my teeth and wash my face, walking and caring for my dog is a non negotiable.

Information Rachael W. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what the animals like and do not like and how easily they tire. What are some of their favourite activities and how do they Interact with other animals as well as your guidelines for dog parks and off leash dog parks. I do not want to push any boundaries that would put the dog or owner out of their comfort zone!

A typical day

I love to run and cross country ski, I love sailing but not all dogs like the water. I like to take my dog on drives to the beach and play with him and let him explore.

Attentive & caring animal lover 🐶

Pet care experience

I’ve had over 8 dogs and several cats growing up. I’m reliable and love to walk, feed, care, play and love them all. I’ve taught my animals tricks and trained them while building trust. I currently work but I don’t typically work weekends and I’ll make myself available to help care for your fur-baby. There is a large backyard and dog park very close to me I also have a car to transport any animals of yours to and from!

Rachel showed my sweet kitty lots of love and attention while I was away! She sent updates daily, communicated reliably, and I could tell he was looking forward to her company. She was also very patient and flexible with me when I needed a sitter at the last minute and my plans kept changing sporadically. I'm very appreciative for her help looking after him, and will definitely call on her again in the future!

Rachael was amazing! I was in town for a wedding and she came to pick up my pup from the hotel for the events. Rachael was super communicative and my dog clearly had a great time with her. She was so happy to go with her. Thank you Rachael for making my trip with my pup so easy!

Rachael was amazing when we needed to leave town for a week, and took care of our dog Barnacle. Barnacle had the time of her life and we received the cutest updates throughout our stay. It was awesome! ☺️
