Pet care experience

A dog’s best friend!

I love all animals like they’re my own! After volunteering for years with Guiding Eyes for the Blind in NY as a kennel assistant, puppy socializer, and dog groomer, I have found a passion for pet care! I have experience watching and caring for dogs, cats, birds, and small critters such as guinea pigs. I currently have my own beagle, but love to care for other pets too!

Rachel was a great house sitter and Chloe and Lucy really loved her! Was very happy with how well cared for and content they were when I got home

Rachel was so great and made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog for this length of time for the first time! She provided photos and updates and took such good care of Smoke. We would highly recommend her!

Rachel was awesome while watching our 3 pets! She sent us so many pictures so we couldn’t miss them too much, and she was very communicative. We would definitely trust her with our boys again!

Rachel was amazing with our two 4 legged family members. She communicated with us just the right amount while we were on our vacation to help us feel at ease. We will definitely use her in the future ❤️🐶

Safety, trust & environment

I’m excited to take care of pet’s in their own home by ensuring they are well fed and have enough water before leaving, keeping all doors and windows the same way I found them, and cleaning any messes made. For dog walking, I will keep the dog on a leash at all times and be able to keep up at any pace for the duration of the walk! Even running!

Pets

A typical day

I love to play fetch with dogs and let them run around in a fenced in yard or park. I also enjoy walking pups around the neighborhood and exploring the area. I will gladly take them on some nature trails too!
