Experienced Animal Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! I am staying at home for the summer and would love to help take care of your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can be there when you need me. I grew up surrounded by all different animals and decided to pursue a career working with them. I am a 2nd year veterinary student at Iowa State University and I can assure you your pet will be in great hands. I've volunteered at the Humane Society and worked at veterinary clinics, so I've had experience with a lot of animals. I've grown up dog sitting and cat sitting for family and friends. My own dog is on medication for her heart murmur so I am used to caring for a pet with extra needs. I am also comfortable working with dogs of all different personalities. If your dog is staying over at my house, he/she will get to meet my 9 year old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She is great with other dogs and is used to meeting new friends. In my free time I enjoy going hiking, going to the dog park, and reading outside. I hope I can become friends with your pet for dog walking, dog sitting, or boarding. Reach out to me if you have any questions!

Rachel watched our family dog for an entire semester while managing veterinarian school. She took her for nice long walks everyday, fed her the correct amount of food, and stuck to the medication regimen strictly. The dog came back healthy and happy back home, and we were pleased with the grooming and nail trimming she had done for our dog.
