Run, walk, cuddle, play!

Pet care experience

*Fully vaccinated and boosted* I’ve pet sat for over a decade, since middle school. I love all animals big and small, furry and scaly. My airedale and cat are my current loves but I promise to love your pooch too! I’ve trained him well and I’d love to help with your dog or cat as well. Any animal actually, I am game! I grew up in Michigan by farms where I even took care of horses, goats, reptiles, and more. My pooch is quite large and exuberant so don’t worry if you think your dog is too much to handle 💪🏼. I utilize the plenty of parks and trails. I’m a runner so if your dog is up for it, he can tag along. My dog also loves other dogs to play with if you’d like- I know my dog would love the company! Unrelated about me: I have a business degree and a master’s of education in sport administration. I currently work as the Environmental Program Analyst for the National Guard.

Rachel was great with Herbie!! She was very responsive and on time consistently. She’s very experienced with dogs and you can tell. My dog is close to 80 pounds and very hyper/active. She took great care of my precious boy!!

Safety, trust & environment

This all depends on the owners wishes and the dogs needs. If an older dog needs time to cuddle inside, that’s what I will do. If they need plenty of exercise, I love being active! I am always over cautious about what they can get their teeth on in and outside the home and doorways to prevent escapes!

Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet

I will make sure all special needs are covered by the owner and written down to refer to. This includes when and how to feed, exercise needs, bathroom routines, allergies, medications, and more.

A typical day

I like to take dogs on runs if possible and walks of course! I prefer shaded trails like the greenways and dirt trails at Umstead. Also a big fan of just hanging out and cuddling. All depends on your dogs needs.
