I never met a dog I didn’t love
Pet care experience
Before I moved out to Pittsburgh I lived with three big dogs (Pitt mix, lab, cattle mix). They live back at home with my mom in Philly and I miss them so much! Our family is super involved with our local rescue and we frequently had foster pups. We have had all different types ranging from the scared and shutdown to the rambunctious and excited. Fostering is one of my favorite things to do and it has allowed me to learn so much about our four legged friends. I have also been a volunteer at the animal shelter for two years. At the shelter I help bathe dogs and I take the highly stressed and anxious ones for jogs on the trail. I moved out to Pitt for school and recently accepted a job here!! About a year ago I rescued my own dog- Zeus :) he is the friendliest, sweetest boy ever and loves friends!!! He’s older (~10) but has so much energy and loves to play.
Reviews
Rachel has been great with our senior lap dog....lots of undivided attention!
Rachel did a great job with our older dog, Lucy. She is patient and very responsive. We were visiting from out of town and she was flexible when our arrival time changed. We recommend her!
Rachel was amazing with Duke. Duke is a 2 year old pup that has separation anxiety so I was very nervous leaving him for a week for vacation. Rachel was very patient with him and helped him get through the week. She updated us everyday with pictures which put me at ease knowing he was doing well. We would absolutely use Rachel again.
Rachel was amazing with our cat! She sent regular photo updates and our, usually shy, little girl seemed to be very friendly with her. It was wonderful not having to worry about her while away!

I have always grown up with dogs, and I know that some dogs require specific treatment that others do not (behavior differences, medications, treats, etc). I am super sensitive to this and will follow any directions given to me by the owners.

I love taking dogs on long walks and to the park near my house! I’m pretty active and don’t mind waking early for an AM walk.
