Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's personal needs, health issues and behaviors. It would be great to be provided an Emergency Contact List including your veterinarian. I would also love to know what are your dog's likes or dislikes. Favorable toys and treats. How does your dog prefer to exercise or where is his/her spot on the couch/dog bed. If you select me to walk your dog please let me know if there are any behaviours I should be aware of (chasing cars, animals, or acorns) or unfriendly dogs in the neighborhood. Thank you so much

A typical day

I have beautiful trails right behind my house in north Madison Connecticut. I live at the end of a cul de sac on a very private, quiet street. It is very nice walk up and down and easy to walk to a nearby fields and more fun trails if your pup likes a real hike! I also love to take a drive down to the parks and beaches that are always so beautiful and fun to explore year round with a four legged friend by your side.

Pet care experience

Animals are a man’s best friend and I strongly believe in this proverb. I have volunteered multiple years for different shelters and agencies primarily with Dog Days; loving, caring and giving much vital attention to dogs in need. Fostering dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences that may not pay in cash but the endless amount of love and the fulfilling feeling that leaves a mark on your heart making a dog feel loved and safe is priceless. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in adopting a dog or becoming a dog owner to foster. I have helped nurtured dogs with behavior issues, training, and socializing, and I have also pet sat for creatures of all sizes from fish to horse. I have given medication to multiple animals and I am large animal rescued certified. I care for many of our special needs pets with ease because my kindness, patience and attention creates a bond that has pets loving me immediately. I am caring and compassionate to all of the pets in my care.

We always trust Rachel with our dogs and know they’ll be well cared for while we are away. Rachel is communicative and timely with updates and always goes the extra mile in giving our two dogs love and care.

We always trust Rachel to take care of our dogs. We have a giant lab and a timid mix. They both adore her and we do too! She keeps us updated with multiple pictures at every drop in and walk. She’s a lifesaver and we never worry about our pets when they are in her care.

Rachel always treats our dogs like family. We never worry when she’s caring for them! We always receive detailed updates and lots of photos showing our pups happy and enjoying their time. It means the world to us to know they are safe in her care.

Rachel went above and beyond when caring for my dogs over the course of two days. She gave thorough updates and lots of pictures and videos. Our pups looked happy as can be while she was visiting! When we came back home, it was like we’d never left. Both dogs were super happy and content. Rachel’s prompt responses, care, and attention meant the world to us.
