Student with Kennel Experience

Hello! My name is Rachel, I am a graduate student living in Lancaster and love to take care of your pets in my free time! I grew up with a big family and many animals including goats, horses, chickens, ducks, and a few dogs running around. I have always loved animals, especially horses and dogs. I also worked at Karen’s K9 Kare in Malvern for around a year. During my time there I gained experience dealing with large groups of dogs as well as bathing, training, and getting picky dogs to eat. The most essential skill I gained at this position is really how to manage stressed out animals, dealing with strangers can be difficult for many pets but I pride myself in being able to recognize what they need from me to make them as comfortable as possible.

Rachel was great! Josie was a little apprehensive when she first came but she was very patient with her as to not stress her out. Would definitely recommend her.

Rachel did a great job taking care of my goats. The weather was terrible but I had nothing to worry about because she was on it! I got photos daily which I appreciated.

Rachel was great. I never met her in person as my partner did the meet and greet - but I trusted her and appreciated her great communication. The pets were in good hands! My youngest dog even got to go to the park on a much needed outing. Thank you so much Rachel!

I have known Rachel for many years and she is truly one of the kindest, most caring animal lovers that I know! She has helped me out many times walking and caring for my dogs. She has always been on time, had excellent communication, and my dogs absolutely love her!

Rachel has grown up around dogs. She is a natural animal lover. I’ve haven’t seen a dog she doesn’t get along with She is always willing to bathe my dogs. She has taken them for hikes and they come back happy and tired! I have large breed dogs and she can handle them all.

Rachel watches my two dogs, cat, and house when my family goes away for vacations. Both dogs can be iffy with people and other animals, so we are always nervous about leaving them and never put them in a dog kennel for these reasons. Rachel takes great of our animals and knows how to handle big, aggressive dogs very well. We fully trust them in her care. She is a big animal lover, incredibly responsible, and mature. She has worked at a doggy daycare/dog boarder and can handle feeding, walking, medication, and anything else we throw on her! If it wasn't for Rachel we wouldn't be able to go away as often as we do.
