Can I pet your dog?
Pet care experience
I have had a deep connection with animals my entire life! Throughout the years I have gained experience from working in a veterinary clinic, volunteering with two local humane societies, and providing foster care for over 30 different animals. My passion has, and always will be, caring for the ones who give us that unconditional love. I treat all animals as a part of the family. My pups are more spoiled than I'd like to admit :) They get frequent cuddles on the couch, and sleep in the bed every night. Although I can be flexible and easygoing, I do enforce training and believe consistency is essential for all dogs. -I have plenty of room in my home to keep timid or older dogs separated and comfortable in their own space. -I have a large fenced-in backyard, a community dog park, and multiple walking trails right outside my backyard! -My neighborhood is large and perfect for leashed walks. -I am knowledgeable and a huge advocate of providing a healthy lifestyle for my dogs (choosing natural ingredients for cleaning products, grooming, treats, and diet). -I enjoy making homemade treats for my dogs (grain-free options too). -I have experience with raw and ketogenic diets. -I am comfortable with administering medications and other health-related tasks. Overall, I will treat your pet as my own. I am reliable, fun, and have the means to help you when needed. You can put your mind at ease, knowing your companion is in great hands!
Reviews
I would absolutely recommend Rachel! She took such wonderful care of our very old dachshund. We will definitely be using her again. Great communication, too!
Rachel was an amazing sitter. We found her after another sitter bailed on us. She watched Charley over Thanksgiving break while we were vacationing. Charley was well cared for and we really appreciated Rachel. She communicated well and is a very experienced care giver. We will definitely reach out to Rachel again??
She was amazing and took great care of my babies!!

I prefer to stay as consistent as possible to your pets normal routine. I will accommodate their needs, so they feel a sense of normalcy while you are away. We have crates, or room for your own crate if needed. If I find I cannot provide them with the best accommodations for them to be stress free, I will let you know in advance that we may not be a good match. I will never book a request for the sake of money only. I want to ensure your pets are happy, and have the best available care while you are away.

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
I will take the time to speak in detail with each owner regarding their dog's temperament, personality, likes, dislikes, health, diet, schedule, etc. I require a meet and greet before any booking unless it is a special circumstance.
A typical day
We can go on leashed walks around the neighborhood or nearby outdoor trails. I have a fenced-in area for playtime, as well as a neighborhood dog park. My home is always filled with toys! While in your home, I will do my best to follow their normal routine, whether that's hours of play time or just providing them company while they nap all day :)

I work from home 2 days a week, but I am only 5 minutes from my office the remaining days. I typically come home on lunch hour to do potty breaks and give a quick cuddle. Weekends are wide open, unless otherwise marked on my schedule.
