Pet care experience
I have been a go-to pet sitter for all my friends and family since I can remember because I genuinely enjoy it. I adore animals and usually spend my spare time surrounded by them. I’ve taken care of puppies, disinterested cats, chinchillas, fish, dogs with medications/heart conditions, etc. and I know they all need to be treated as obsessively-loved individuals.
Reviews
My dog absolutely loves Rachel! Rachel has been taking care of my dog for over 2 years. Rachel has helped train her to become the most wonderful dog. From walks to training, she is always stimulated when Rachel is watching her. I can't recommend her enough. From short visits to lengthy stays with her, Rachel is the best.
I don't have any pets but if I was lucky enough in the future to have one, Rachel is the only person I would trust to look after them. Why do I say this? Because I have known her for YEARS and have watched how she cares for all living (non human) creatures. Her capacity of love for animals is immense. Most specifically I've observed how she loves her puppy Sunny. She's great at pays attention to the small but important things. Those overlooked things like consistently sticks to an eating schedules to keep the pupper on a routine. Or noticing the subtle changes in behavior and addresses the stimuli. Making sure the puppy is getting either physical or mental enrichment but can also pinpoint when it really is time to rest. I think Rachel would be a great caregiver to your pet. She is deeply loving, understands animal behavior, and isn't afraid to put her foot down in the outside world to keep your animal safe from unknown dangers. A balanced, smart, responsible caregiver that your pet will love!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I have cameras, locks, and back up safety locks. I am that overly cautious dog mom who checks on her adult dog 10 times when I’m out and about. ❤️
Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
Are they reactive? Do they have any major allergies? (Should I have their epi-pen or medication on me in case of allergen exposure?) Are they allowed to have treats? What can they do? (Sit, paw, etc) so we can slip in some training. Do they have any triggers?
A typical day
I love to let them smell as much as possible! Reading the “pee-mail” if you will. This tires them out more than the standard walking. I also love to throw in a few sit and stays to keep their minds working during our time! I love to run around with them, I’m an active person and I love that I am able to sprint and spoil them and be the fun auntie for a bit.
