Love to have pup company on wkends!

Pet care experience

I currently live in Arlington and work from home, so I have lots of flexibility with scheduling. I grew up with a full house of dogs and cats. I raised and trained my German Shepherd who was my bestie for 10 years. I am super responsive and easy to reach. My weekends could use some furry friend company, so I'm currently just offering boarding services. I understand that everyone trains differently and I would respect any wishes that the owners have for how to treat their dog. I'd never leave a dog alone for too long and I love long walks :)

Rachel was great to work with. She’s incredibly nice, communicative, and took amazing care of our dog. Would highly recommend trusting your pet with her!

Rachel is the absolute best!! I was so nervous about leaving my puppy with a dog sitter while I was away, but Rachel took the best care of her and all my worries went away. I received several photos a day, and my puppy had a great time with Rachel. I wish I could give one million stars!!

Rachel was so great with Kona!! Kona was so happy and calm after her stay. Rachel was also sure to communicate regularly - would definitely use Rachel again!

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have preferences in care / training. I also typically like to know if you're comfortable with your dog at a dog park, as sometimes that can be unnerving for owners.

A typical day

Lots and lots of walks is my go-to! There's also a bike path nearby. A dog park, if the owner is comfortable with that. Lots of petting and playing is a given.
