Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is Rachel and I have been an animal lover all my life. Throughout high school and college, I worked as an in-home pet caretaker and as a dog training assistant at an animal shelter - making food, training basic commands, walking, bathing, cleaning up after, and administering oral medications. I have experience with cats (I have two named Elton & Nox), dogs (I have a staffy, Millie), fish, and some amphibians (geckos and frogs). I am happy to make sure your pets are happy! My services include day drop-in's and dog walking with options for oral medications, cuddles, play time, walking and jogging.
Reviews
We used Rachel to take care of our cats while we were out of town. She was easy to work with and did a great job. We will definitely be using her again in the future!
Rachel has cared for my 100+ pound English Mastiff in the past: feeding, long walking, playing in the yard, and administering oral medications. She’s very reliable, always on time and communicative, and really has a great way with dogs, given her past in dog training.
My wife and I have 4 dogs and 2 cats and Rachel has been an absolute Godsend to us. Two of our dogs have some health issues, and with our busy schedules Rachel has been able to come in and make sure the pups feel the love and care that they need. When we travel (if we are unable to bring the dogs), she takes care of them, walks them, and gives them medicine if they are needing it. One dog, after surgery, was eating using a feeding tube for a month and one of our other dogs required physical therapy after a hip replacement. Rachel learned both needs for the dogs, and helped continue the physical therapy for the dog who needed to relearn to walk. She took the time and tenderness necessary to help the dog with the feeding tube eat, all while giving the other pets the love and care they required. We trust her completely, and as all pet parents know, trusting someone with your pets is a huge deal. I would recommend her 10 out of 10 times to anyone looking for a pet sitter/caregiver and a dog walker.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard for our dog Millie, however she most active hiking and running with me! My two cats, Elton and Nox are kept indoors with lots of stimulating toys, hammock hangouts, and proper dieting.
Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet
If administering medications is required, any previous notable issues, temperament around other animals and humans, as well as general energy and habits. I would also ask if applying flea and tick spray is okay.
A typical day
Living in Chattanooga, I love to hike and visit the public parks. Walkways and greenways with lots of places to sniff and explore are my favorite.

I work part-time and live an active lifestyle, so finding schedule flexibility and the physical demands a pet may have are the benefits that I have in fitting pet care into a routine.
