Pet care experience
Dog Nerd - Reporting for Duty
I love animals & relish all opportunities to make new animal friends! I've cared for & trained multiple pets - mostly dogs - going on 25 years. Experience with: -dogs -cats -fish -rats -house sitting (long & short term) -both on & off the Rover platform. Willing to learn more! Chickens, goats, birds, etc. - I'm open-minded, flexible, & collaborative :) I find dog training techniques especially interesting, & believe in an evidence-based approach centered on positive-reinforcement. I understand the importance of having awareness of vocal tone when addressing dogs in particular. Generally, I tend to nerd out on occasion when it comes to dog facts. Did you know dogs' noses produce unique "prints" just like our fingertips?! There's more. I have one pet currently - Indi. He is 55 lbs, 2 years old, fun-loving, sweet, intelligent guy who's never made a single enemy - including cats! Don't let his bark ever fool you, he's just tending to his canine duties properly :) (he's a good boy!) He loves running, sniffing all over, & cuddles. He'd love a playmate! If you're fairly confident your pet & mine will become fast friends, propose a convenient time for a meet & greet (expect about 20 minutes) to give the dogs a chance to get properly acquainted/comfy. Mahalo nui loa for your consideration. Please reach out with any questions or concerns! I'm happy to help.

Ratings and reviews
Rachel did a great job caring for our puppy! We were really glad we found her! We highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.
After 3 months of searching I finally found the perfect sitter. She took care of Little Foot the entire weekend and he loved her. She will always be my first choice of dog sitter.
Rachel and I lived together for a year and during that year we found a puppy in the street about a block from our house. We named her Winnie and even though I kept Winnie after we moved, Rachel will always be her second dog mom. She is very responsible and caring, and was there to take care of Winnie whenever I needed her. Rachel loves dogs and anyone looking for someone to care of your fur baby while you're away or even just to walk your dog while you're at work, Rachel is your girl.

Schedule
I'm aware of the critical role a lengthy sniff-sesh, interactive play, & adequate exercise provide dogs & strive to meet these needs daily. I have a fenced, well-maintained, wide open field available for well-monitored, cautious play time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My top priority goal is safety for the animals, then excellent customer service, in that order. I'm here to apply your care preferences, not apply my own. I believe in an empathetic approach to achieve excellent customer service. It's extremely important to me that you feel comfortable voicing/discussing any concerns you may have at any point openly, professionally, & with a solution-focused mindset.

A typical day
Fenced play/free-run, neighborhood strolls, cuddles with consent. I love playing games with dogs & teaching new, fun tricks! You can expect regular updates/check ins throughout your booking, to help keep your mind at ease knowing your pet is safe & sound.
