Dog lover with training experience
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, and fish for most of my life. I trained my own dog from a puppy. I house-sat (dogs and cats) for the same 3 families consistently over 4 years in college. I meet your pets where they are at and cater to their specific needs and attention!
About Rachel B.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
For check-ins and walks, I am responsible and more focused on good long walks that will leave your pup tired and happy. I am very experiences with high-energy animals, and I know the attention and patience that they need to be comfortable :D
Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
Just let me know if your dog has any special needs and especially in what situations it is high anxiety-- I can handle that! I'd just like to know beforehand. My own dog has hip dysplasia so I can accommodate the types of walks and exercise needed for situations like that (I also know physical therapy exercises for dogs with joint and hip problems that I'd be happy to work on!)
A typical day
I like to walk around Frick Park and Schenley Park--My style of walking is exploration. Letting the pups sniff to their heart's content is proven to do wonders for their brain and their energy! I have a sniff mat of my own for my dog! Walks aren't just to move the legs but to let the dogs explore at their own pace.
