Highlights
Pet care experience
The best playmate around!
I have taken care of dogs since I was young with my family pets. I became a facility dog handler to my dog Gavin in 2021. He has since retired when we moved to Gainesville in 2026. New to the city I am looking for something to do with me time. I have vast training in dog and animal behavior due to being a facility dog trainer. Gavin has retired from service dog work and is always in need of someone to play with. Gavin is well trained and would love to have a playmate for the weekends. I would love to take care of your pet!

Ratings and reviews
Thor loves Rachel, she is always smiling, on time, and provides great feedback!
Rachel was amazing with my dog! It was raining on their first walk and she quickly got him home and played with him instead. 10/10 would recommend
We love Rachel
Rachel is the best... max is always so happy to see her!!!
Rachel has been great with my dog. She is very friendly and always spends a few extra minutes with him after his daily walk. Highly recommend.
Rachel is one of the best dog owners and dog sitters I know. She has had a dog as long as I have known her. And she has loved all of my dogs as well. She is a very active person and very responsible. I would trust her over many others with my animals because I know they would get fed, exercised and get the attention they need. She not only takes great care of dogs but she absolutely loves them.

Schedule
I currently work a full-time job for Norton Healthcare. I work 8am-4:30pm and am looking for weekend work! I would love to provide your pet with a check-in, walk or overnight stay for a day or long weekend.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard and currently only have one male 5 year old neutered yellow lab. He is a trained facility dog. Many of my fellow facility dog trainers and handlers have trusted me to care for their dog.
Pets
A typical day
On the weekends when my facility dog is not working we engage in lots of enrichment activities. I would do the same for your dog. Gavin enjoys long walks, exploring parks and trails, fetch and enrichment games with treat balls and games
