Lots of Experience and Love to Run

Pet care experience

I worked at an animal hospital for 5 years. In doing so, I acquired a wide range of experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I have interacted with all dog behaviors and temperaments from extremely fearful to aggressive to anxious and understand body language and cues. Not only that, I have administered many medications and know a lot of the signs and symptoms of medical issues and how/when an action is needed. I have also cared for many special needs dogs, whether they were blind, deaf, or lame. I also had taken part in confirmation and obedience training/shows with my previous dog. And, I am currently doing nosework with our dog, Toad. Through that I gained many skills and knowledge in handling dogs. I am confident that I can be a great pack leader for your dog, and provide safety, balance, and happiness when you are away.

I absolutely recommend Rachel and I hope she's available next time I need someone. My cat was well-cared-for while I was away on a quick trip: she dropped in to do everything I asked and then spent time with him. She was diligent, responsive and super friendly.

Rachel is absolutely wonderful! She looked after our cat for two very long vacations and we could not have felt more confident that our pet was in great hands. Her daily updates were always descriptive and fun for us to read. More importantly, I could tell she really cared about our cat because she included updates on little health concerns and things to watch out for (like our cat looking a little itchy for a few days, hairballs, etc.). We’re so grateful that Rachel was able to check on our cat and play with her, and would highly recommend her!

Lenny already has fallen in love with his sitter! I have received detailed updates of the walk with some super cute pictures!

Rachel is amazing!! She is so responsible, and sent me consistent and thorough reports with photographs every time she visited my cat over several weeks. She made me feel so much calmer about the fact that I had to leave my cat alone for the holidays, and was always sure to let me know how Breezy was acting, eating, etc. Rachel is also extremely sweet and kind, and was understanding when I had to change a few visit dates. It was such a pleasure to work with Rachel, and I cannot recommend her enough.

A typical day

I currently work as a full-time barista with a flexible schedule. Some of my favorite things to do around New Haven are hiking at East Rock, West Rock, and Sleeping Giant with my four-legged friend. I would love to take your dog on these adventures, as well! Running has always been a big part of my life, and I would love to bring it into your dog's life, as well! Whether it's just for part or all of their walk, I would love to customize walks to fit your dog's needs and energy level.
