Pet care experience

Empty-nester doggie mom! <3

I’ve had dogs since I was 10 years old. I’ve lived and raised 3 since then. Two mini babies and one large baby, although he acts like a mini one. They currently do not live with me, but I miss them every day and I want to give that love and affection to your fur babies, as someone who spends their phone battery rewatching videos or facetiming my own dogs. I’m very patient and disciplined with dogs and their needs, and I’m a firm believer that every dog should get hugs and attention. We’re their whole world! But if you’re not able to, don’t worry I can! More recently, I became a foster mommy for two animal shelters in san diego. Every now and then, I’ll have a foster in my home but I make sure they get along with dogs before taking them in. If your dog does not get along with other dogs, don’t worry! Feel free to still message me because some days I don’t have any dogs with me at all.

Rachel is so great with Penny and sent pictures and videos and updates daily. We’re so grateful to have a safe and loving home for Penny to be at while we’re out of town. Thank you, Rachel!

Cannot say enough great things about Rachel. She is kind, professional, reliable, and everything you could want in a dog walker. She was our regular weekly walker during a busy season and we heavily relied on her to take care of our two big dogs during the day. Up until our jobs shifted recently, we could count on her to be there 2-3x per week. She always followed through and communicated when she was unavailable far in advance so we had time to adjust and make other plans when necessary. If you need someone who genuinely makes your life easier and takes care of your pups to the highest degree, Rachel is an excellent choice. Thank you so much!!!

Rachel was super nice! She even came to do a meet and greet with Bandit a couple of days before coming by to take him on his midday walk. She was on time and sent us photos.

Rachel was wonderful with my Shiba. My dog was clearly comfortable with her and she provided me great photos! Highly recommended :)

Had a great experience with Rachel! We needed a last-minute booking, and she was very accommodating and responsive. Our pup seemed really happy and comfortable during the stay, and it was clear he was well cared for. We appreciated the updates and peace of mind. Would definitely book again!

Schedule

I work a full-time remote job - 5 days a week. Every hour, I make sure I stand or get a good walk in. I would love to do that with a furry friend! Additionally, I can work anywhere on my laptop as long as there’s wifi, and I can definitely do it while caring for your pup.

Safety, trust & environment

There are a lot of daily habits I do because I spent majority of my life with dogs. Some examples include: not leaving food near the edge of counters, not leaving trash out in the open, closing all doors to rooms they’re not allowed in, and only letting them eat food that is part of their normal diet. I’m very disciplined when it comes to training or following their schedule or diet.

A typical day

I will play outside or inside the house using their toys or I will take them to a grass area where they can run and play fetch! When they’re tired, we can sit and give them cuddles.

Let me know if your dog is trained to not run when they’re off leash. I will walk them with a leash, but if they know to stay close, I would like to remove the leash and have them run if I find a large grass area. I am more willing to do so after spending more time with your dog!
