Rachel, 22, dog and cat enthusiast

Pet care experience

I have raised my own dog from 8 weeks old to now 4 years old, training her through self-taught practices as well as a puppy training course. I also help care for my mothers cat and friends dogs from time to time, so I have experience there too. I’ve also had experience in handling a bearded dragon! I have never met an animal I did not love, and adore exploring each special personality they show me. The more pets I get to meet and understand, the more grateful I feel we are able to love and be loved by these wonderful creatures. I’ve been told by many that their pet warmed up to me quickly and took to me sooner than they’d seen with others, which is the best compliment someone like me could get! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, dogs with special medical care, and everything from Chihuahua’s to Great Dane’s! ‼️I do not spend the night in homes where individuals smoke cigarettes inside as I’m allergic to tobacco.‼️ I care for animals full time, so I can work with most schedules well. I can be fully booked fast, so letting me know a few weeks in advance helps chances of a successful booking. I can offer house check-ins, walks, cuddle time, many forms of play or exercise, giving medication, and grooming such as brushing or nail clipping if the pet is cooperative. I would happily be open to accommodating any owner requests or preferences. The safety, comfort and happiness of the pets I look after is my number 1 priority, as well as ensuring the owner is comfortable and happy with the care provided.

Information Rachel F. would like to know about your pet

I would need to know about any behavioral issues with dogs that would need to be managed. Special needs dogs and care preference would also be necessary. If there are preferences based on age or health of a dog, that would be important to know as well.

A typical day

I enjoy exploring many ways to keep the dogs I watch stimulated through walks, play time, exploring new areas, and testing out what they have learned from any training done.
