I’ve had animals my entire life
Pet care experience
My family had a cat when I was born and we got a dog when I was a kid. I have dog-sat and cat-sat for family and friends since I was in elementary school. I also have experience working in an animal shelter and doggy day-care/boarding facility so I was able to work with many different dog and cat breeds.
Reviews
I highly recommend Rachel to walk and/or take care of your pet(s).
Our dogs love having Rachel come stay with them. She's stayed once with our two senior dogs and once with our two plus our daughters Golden, so she had a houseful! She was so good with them; the two senior dogs were a little unsure at first, but you can tell she is really comfortable around animals in how she talked to them and moved around them just letting them get to know her. She sent daily updates and pics so we knew they were happy and getting lots of attention. Rachel is great and we 100% recommend her.
We have known Rachel since the day she was born, and she has always loved pets. When she was in high school, she came over to our house weekly, during the day when we were at work(for 2-3 yrs), to let our dog, Oliver, out and walk him. Oliver is very active and Rachel was like a dog whisperer with him. She would sit on the floor with him and somehow get him to settle down right away. She has such a calm demeanor and doesn't stress about anything, and I think Oliver really picked up on that. When we got home from work, Oliver was always so calm. Rachel had a calming influence on him and we knew Oliver was always well taken care of by Rachel. We highly recommend Rachel as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
Rachel has been taking care of dogs since she was 10 years old. She went with me to training classes with our first dog Koda and loved going on hikes with him. In high school when she needed volunteer hours she volunteered at the Animal Care Center walking the big dogs. She was hired to walk and dog sit for our friends and neighbors. She studied Animal Science in college and when she was home for breaks she continued to walk and dog sit. Now with our second dog Layla she is very involved in her training and walks her regularly. I am totally comfortable when we go out of town leaving Rachel with our dogs. She is attentive and makes sure they are taken care of and they get plenty of excercise.
