Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment but have plenty of space to take long walks and roam in the grass. I’m also right next to the tennis courts where I could let them off the leash to play without other dogs interfering. I do have one cat named Pickles, but he’s great with dogs and is super playful once he’s done being shy. I have a 6 year old son as well who loves to help take care of dogs and assists me when we dog sit our family and friends dogs too! I’m huge on safety and staying away from other neighboring dogs to prevent any incidents. We love to play tug of war and fetch or taking dogs for long walks!

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special accommodations or routines for your dog! I would prefer to know feeding schedules, walk schedules, and treat intake limits.

A typical day

Taking nice walks at least twice a day, playing lots of fetch and tug of war, rewards with treats, car rides, and trips to the park!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was around 11 years old and through every stage of their lives from new puppies to dogs in their last few months. Family and friends trust me to take care of their dogs because they know my deep love and passion for animals! I know how and when to feed, walk, and play with them so that they thrive.

Rachel has been great with my dog, Gus. She also has a cat of her own who is very friendly. I trust her to take of my dog, which she has done on several occasions. I highly recommend Rachel to watch any pet!

Rachel is incredibly kind, thoughtful, and respectful. She has had many pets over the years and understood the individuality of each one, from hamsters to horses her love for animals has been clearly present to those around her. Guaranteed bond with the animal she cares for.
