About Rachel B.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow your routines closely to keep things familiar and stress-free. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, energy level, and boundaries so they always feel secure with me. For walks, I use secure leashes, stay aware of surroundings, and avoid unsafe areas or interactions with unknown dogs. I’m patient, calm, and confident handling different temperaments. I’m respectful of your space, tidy, and always double-check locks, gates, and doors. You can expect clear communication, quick responses, and lots of photo updates for peace of mind.
Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
To give your pet the best care, I’d love to know: - Their vibe (couch potato? adventure buddy? shy bean? curious explorer?) - Feeding + treat routine - Walk preferences or leash quirks for dogs - Litter, potty, or crate habits - Any health concerns or meds - How they usually act around new people - Favorite games, toys, or comfort items - Any “nope” behaviors I should avoid - Anything special that helps them feel comfortable and loved
A typical day
A typical day depends entirely on your pet’s personality and routine! For dogs, that might mean neighborhood walks, playtime, training games, or cozy downtime. For cats, it could be interactive play with their favorite toys, gentle companionship, window watching, or simply keeping their space calm and comfortable. I always follow your pet’s usual schedule to keep their day stress-free, and I make sure they get plenty of love, enrichment, and attention in whatever way suits them best.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Rachel — lifelong animal lover and proud pet owner. I’m calm, dependable, and great at reading an animal’s needs. Whether your pet wants adventure, structure, or just couch cuddles, I’m here for it. I currently have multiple pets of my own, a big love for plants, and I study Japanese while working on my MBA — so I’m organized, reliable, and used to juggling responsibilities. You can always count on clear communication, updates, and lots of photos while you’re away! Over the years, I have cared for dog of all shapes, sizes, ages and needs through my own ownership and my time working at an animal shelter. From a 7 pound Pomeranian that required regular medication administration, to a 165 pound Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, to the many dogs that would come through the shelter to be adopted.
