24/7 Love & Care in a Safe Home
Experienced former pet owner with extra love to give! I cared for my own dog in NYC (biiig goldendoodle) until she passed suddenly. I love giving love to dogs. I can assure you your pup(s) will be happy and healthy while they are with me. Expect frequent photo / video updates of your baby doing cute stuff (that you don't have to respond to). I am flexible in my approach for tending to animals based on owners' preferences (more frequent walks, picky eaters, picky p*opers, older & less mobile, can't be around other dogs)-- I've handled it all! Please let me know any special needs your pet may have ahead of time so that I can provide the best service suited to them. This may include dietary restrictions, walk intensity & frequency, personality traits, potential separation anxiety, picky eating / bathroom tendencies, and how they get along with other pets. My building is pet-friendly and having pets is encouraged. Included in my building is a pet relief area and a dog grooming room with professional grade grooming equipment.

Ratings and reviews
Rachel takes great care of your pup! Sent me lots of updates and made sure my dog had a great day. Easy to communicate with and would definitely book again. Thanks Rachel!
Absolutely incredible! She was so responsive. My dog is extremely nervous and Rachel was so patient! Highly recommend.
Rachel was awesome. She was very responsive on all communications and kept me updated the entire time. I would absolutely recommend and have her watch my dog again in the future.
Rachel has been watching my 5 month old wheaten terrier puppy a few times a week and he LOVES her. He is so happy and excited to see her which is a clear indicator that he gets lots of love and attention when he’s with her! She is super communicative and always keeps me up to date with photos throughout the day, as well as with general status/progress notes [and without me having to ask, which has really alleviated any additional stress that might come with leaving your fur baby!]. I have an unpredictable schedule and she has also been very flexible and accommodating with last minute requests and changes. Highly recommend - so grateful I found her! (@winniewheats on instagram)
Rachel is truly amazing. She loves and cares for my dog like he’s hers. I fully trust her to watch and care for him whenever we need her. Highly recommend!
Rachel was amazing! She took such great care of my dog and sent regular photos and updates. We would 100% trust her to take care of Ollie again.

Schedule
I work from home everyday, so I have ample time & love to give to your pup. I live in a building that has a designated pet relief area & pet grooming equipment. I have quiet streets near me with lots of shade that dogs love sniffing and walking around. Fort Greene Park (and Cadman) is close to me as well for some extra physical exercise.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an apartment with flexibility to crate. I do not own any dogs myself, so your pup would be the only one I am caring for at a time. I give lots of love and pets. I am happy to adapt to any routine that has already been established for consistency purposes.
A typical day
We will go on lots of walks (short and big) around my neighborhood (DUMBO, Fort Greene, Brooklyn Heights, etc.). We will play with toys together and practice tricks (sit, stay, shake, lie down, etc.). I like to give at least one big walk per day to ensure they are receiving enough exercise in NYC.
