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!!!
