Dog & Cat Approved 20y experience
Pet care experience
I have extensive dog and cat experience having owned both of varying shapes and sizes, as well as working in the animal shelter community for 15+ years. My current pack consists of a cattle dog/terrier mix and two domestic short-hair cats, so I'm used to working with high energy pups and cats. From the shelter you never know who will drop in that week, so I've walked dogs who weigh as much as 100 pounds to the tea cup pup who barely tips the scale and everything in between. Having gone through basic obedience classes, I'd be happy to help your dog with some of the basics as we walk (sit, down, stay, heel, etc.). My own pets are spoiled and I look forward to working with you to make sure yours get the royal treatment! I am a stay at home mom, so my availability it limited to very early morning, evenings, and weekends when my husband is home to watch our infant son.
Reviews
Rachel is a great walker! She handled my 65lb rambunctious dog with ease and even did some training with him where he needed it most on the walk. She is very professional and I will definitely be scheduling more walks with her!

Skills
Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet
Before coming over it would be helpful to know: age, weight, behavior issues/sensitivities, favorite activities, breed or mix (I love them all!), and a little about their personality.
A typical day
Depending on where you live, I'm flexible to take your pup to a special place you want us to walk, otherwise we'll stick close to home and the familiar routes so your pup is comfortable. I'd be happy to run them or play tug or fetch if that is something that gets them excited and helps them burn their energy. I'm also happy to lounge with them -whatever makes them happy!
