Teacher will teach your dog tricks!

Pet care experience

Hello, welcome, and thank you for stopping by! I have recently graduated from PSU with a master's in secondary education; I also hold a bachelor's in history. I have walked, and house sat for friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and birds since 2014. I have experience training puppies as well as caring for and walking younger dogs, special needs dogs, and both senior dogs and cats who required medication. Currently I have a black kitty who is leash trained and knows basic commands i.e sit, paw, down, and up. I also have a 2 year old pup who LOVES other dogs and animals. I usually bring her along with me on my dog walks and visits because I think it is important animals get social interaction. Please let me know how your animals are with another 4 legged friend around :) I have also trained and taken care of parakeets and lovebirds for the past 18 years. I am able to watch, feed, finger train and socialize your feathery friends if needed! Please let me know if your feathery friends need someone to watch them. (For an added discussed fee).

Rachael is great with Piper. Piper loves to see her. She is conscientious and is always on-time as per agreed upon schedule.

Rachael was a wonderful sitter for our two doxens. She handled our little diva doxen with no issues. This was our first time using Rover and I couldn't be happier. She came on time, spent quality time with our dogs and sent photos from each visit. She was also a great communicator. Definitely recommend.

Rachael was a really great sitter for my cat Tater Tot, always sent pictures after each stay so I could see how she was doing. Great communication and was super friendly as well. Definitely recommend her services!

Safety, trust & environment

Because of my teaching background, I use some teaching methods I have picked up in the classroom to care for animals. Whether it's teaching with positive reinforcement, or calming down an excited/scared animal; be rest assured that your animal will have a blast being in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Thanks again for checking out my profile.

Information Rachael Z. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if your pet is energetic, or calm, and their temperament with other animals and people. For dogs, I would like to know if your dog has any triggers toward a park walking environment. Please let me know about their feeding schedule and if needed medicine that would need to be given. I basically just want to get to know your pet so that they may enjoy the time we share together :)

A typical day

Your pet deserves the utmost love and respect. At your home they would receive all the pets, play, and outside time that is needed. Please let me know if your animal needs medication so I can further support them. I would love to walk your dog around your Portland neighborhood, or take them to a dog park if they like making friends :)
