Hi! I’m a crazy dog girl!

Pet care experience

Hi! Ive been a premier, personal dog care provider for 10 years in East Delray Beach. I don’t go west of Congress, or north of Ocean Ridge. I really stay in EAST DELRAY or NE Boca!!!! I can provide countless referrals. I stay in peoples homes for months at a time, or even just for overnights. I’ve even been flown to Boston and Pennsylvania to watch dogs. People call me the dog whisperer of Delray, and I love on my clients dogs as though they were my own! I also take care of my clients homes as if it were my home as well. Usually they come home and it’s cleaner than when they left! I’m very much in shape, and love taking pups on long walks, but also enjoy lots of cuddles. I walk a lot of dogs during the day, but many of my clients are home, they just want their dogs to have a continued relationship with me. I’m also bonded, which is very important. As someone who has hired people to care for not only my own dogs, but also employees to take care of clients dogs, I know how difficult it can be to find someone that is in love with dogs, that is honest, clean, timely, etc, as well as actually spending time with the pups, as opposed to just running in and out of the home. Most times, I rarely even leave the house except to go walk other dogs! And I never let dogs go for longer than 4 hours without going out. As someone that has a special needs dog, I know what it’s like to take care of dogs that require more in regards to medicine, bathroom visits and feedings. I’ve been thrown up on, peed and pooped on! Dog care isn’t much different from childcare. I was a nanny for humans for many years, but prefer the company of dogs! Let me be the one to love on your fur babies.

I have been working with Rachel going on three years now. She is always professional, prompt, thorough and loving . Both of my dogs feel she is part of their pack. Rachel has been there in a pinch (which we all know happens at the least convenient times) and I coordinate travel plans so that she is the one who can stay with my girls.

Rachel is a pleasure to know, she is so trustworthy it only took once and I knew she was fabulous. Can’t say enough great things about her. Rachel stays at our house when we are gone I trust her unconditionally. My dog Titan doesn’t take to many people but he loves his Rachel and So do we. Highly recommend her for all of your four legged loved ones.

Rachel has been our dog walker & sitter for more than 7 years. She is trustworthy, dependable & very responsible. What’s more, our dog absolutely loves her & gets excited whenever he sees her car arrive. Rachel has stayed at our house while we were away for weekends & longer. She has never cancelled at the last minute or left us scrambling to get coverage. As well, she always somehow manages to be available if we call her at the last moment. I have recommended her to many friends & relatives, all of whom have thanked me for doing so.

What I appreciate most about Rachel is not just her obvious love for animals, but her professional approach. Pet sitting is not just Rachel’s job – it’s what she loves and it’s what she does for her livelihood. She sends pictures and videos on a daily basis while you're away. She goes above and beyond while caring for and loving your pets whether it be that you're out of town or stuck at work and your pup needs a walk, dinner, cuddles, etc. She is highly recommended all over Delray Beach.
