I have a miniature schnauzer who loves to play with all dogs of all sizes. We love doing walks and playing with all of the toys.

Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your fur baby has any special needs or anything you’d love for me to know personality trait wise! Also temperament and if they’re good with other animals and kids! Also there is anything specific you’d require me to do (take/send pictures) I’d love to do that, just let me know :)

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs physically!! Going for walks and runs and soaking in that vitamin D!! Playing with toys and always encouraging to learn new tricks!

Pet care experience

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and love to snuggle and pamper them. I love trying to teach the basic commands to puppies, I love playing with animals and walking them. I’ve helped neighbors with their fur babies when needed and have always enjoyed doing it.

Rachel was attentive throughout the drop ins with both dogs! She was accommodating to our large dog and needy medium dog! We will rebook again!

Things could not have gone better. Poppy had a wonderful time and was very well cared for. It was very reassuring to receive pictures of Poppy and know she was happy while we ere away. She was obviously enjoying all the attention. I highly recommend Rachel!

We were sooo grateful to have Rachel look after our 3 pets during our holiday trip this year! Her communication was outstanding - she provided plenty of photos and progress reports on our babes and we really felt secure that our 2 dogs and cat were in very loving hands. One of our pups got sick and she took extra time to make sure he was feeling better. She also washed the bed sheets and comforter and remade the bed that he had the accident on. There is no doubt that we will be booking her again and again in the future. Our pets absolutely adore her - and so do we! Thank you so much Rachel ?
