About Rachel D.

Safety, trust & environment
I have two friendly dogs of my own who absolutely love being around other pets! They’re both young (ages 2 and 2.5), very well-socialized, and go to Ruff Canine Club several times a week to play and burn off energy. They love treats, car rides, and snuggling in bed with us. 😃 My first golden retriever was even Canine Good Citizen certified! 🤩
Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet
I’m happy to accommodate special needs, including giving medication or injections—your pet’s comfort and well-being are always my top priority. Whether your dog loves long walks, fetch in the yard, or just snuggles on the couch, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and needs. I always provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. 🥰
A typical day
While pet sitting, I make sure your furry friends have the best time! From fun walks and play sessions to cuddles and personalized care, I treat your pets like my own. Treats are always fun but I will never give them anything that you haven’t approved of 😃 Whether it’s tossing a ball, belly rubs, or simply keeping them company, their happiness and comfort are my top priorities! ♥️

Vet assistant experience! 🩺🐶
Pet care experience
I worked as a kennel attendant and veterinary assistant at an animal hospital in Roanoke for two years while attending Virginia Tech. During college—before Rover was around—I ran a successful personal pet sitting business through Craigslist. I spent a year in veterinary school in the Caribbean before deciding to pursue a career path that offered more flexibility (and less debt!). I’ve ridden and cared for horses for many years, so my experience extends to large, small, and even exotic animals. Fun fact: my pet bunny lived to be 13 years old!
Reviews
Rachel was absolutely great! She was attentive to detail, always responsive whenever I checked in, and incredibly responsible with my dogs. It gave me real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I’d definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable, caring pet care.
Chase loves Rachel, and we do too! She's fantastic with him and is the just dependable walker we've ever had. Highly recommend!!
Has stayed with my cat multiple times and does a great job! She always gives detailed pictures and descriptions that puts me at ease when I am away
Rachel is a life-saver! Reliable, kind, smart, and my dog loves her!
