Home most of the time, fenced yard!

Pet care experience

I LOVE dogs! I have my own sweet pup in the house - she gets along with everyone and will love having some company over - she'll probably think I'm doing this for her! If OK with you, we love getting out of the house for walks on the river trails or pedestrian bridges. I work from home, so I'm available most days - just ask! My yard is big and very well fenced in, perfect for in between walks. There's a comfy bench on the porch for pups to relax on, or they can go wild in the yard (my dog loves to play). My pooch shows no interest in asserting her dominance on any others (she's kind of pathetic like that) so she'll love sharing our home with your pup!

You wont find a better person to trust to care for your animals than Rachel. The special connection she has has with animals is evident in the way she interacts with and cares for her own dog and any other animal that crosses her path. She is not only compassionate toward animals, but has an incredible amount of common sense, and understanding of health care for animals (and humans), as exemplified by her dedication to pursuing a second career in nursing. One time after her dog injured her paw at the river, Rachel took straight to caring for the wound by applying gauze with co-band wrap to protect the paw from further injury and infection. She constantly examines whether her dog is content in her environment, and seeks out necessary changes to optimize her happiness. She would make a wonderful sitter for any animal, and would put forth the required effort to make pet owners and their fur babies comfortable and content.

Rachel H. has been a dear friend of mine for the last 15 years and I can safely say that she has never met a pup she doesn't love. She is great with furry friends of all kinds but her true love is dogs. She is a loving, gentle soul that easily connects with animals and gains their trust quickly. She loves to play and go on adventures with her puppy pals every chance she gets. I am fortune enough to have 2 fur babies of my own, they both came to my family badly abused and in need of some serious love. Due to their anxiety I don't trust them to just anyone. Rachel has taken the best care of my dogs and earned their trust immediately. This is not an easy task to take on and she always amazes me with the grace and ease in which she accomplishes this. I would recommend Rachel 10 out of 10 for all dog sitting needs. Be careful though she takes such good care of them they may just want to stay forever.
