I am a writer and work part-time as a behavioral therapist for children, so my hours are very dependent on my client's availability. So to fill in the down time I love to hang out with my dog, and hopefully more animal friends soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I know how it feels to have to leave your pet for long hours, and how much a quick visit or walk around the neighborhood can help so much! I don't mind high energy dogs or skittish rescues, and am just happy to help!

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any quirks about your dog, no judgement! Also what their usual routine is like too so I can have a bigger picture of their mental state beforehand.

A typical day

I can play fetch in the safety of their own backyard, or tug a war with a favorite stuffie, even herding games for those high-focus doggies. Or if your pet loves to simply stroll down the street, I can make sure they have a safe and relaxing experience smelling all the roses. If they walk more like they on a mission to find every squirrel possible, I can do that too!

Pet care experience

I have always loved taking care of animals and wanted to be a vet as a kid. I've had experience with rescue dogs, feral cats, dairy goats, a pet rabbit, and a singular lizard. I wish I could adopt all the animals, but that isn't reasonable right now.

Rachel is amazing! Very clear communication and super flexible with getting our dog's recurring walk schedule to work across both ours and her schedules. I would highly recommend her, and look forward to working with her going forward.

It was such a relief to know Rachel was stopping by twice a day to check on my cat. It was my first time leaving him and I felt really bad. This was very helpful. I will definitely reach out again whenever I need to leave town in the future.

Rachel took great care of our yellow lab, Raleigh, while we were out of town! She kept us up to date and was very flexible with scheduling. We are so excited to have a reliable and caring dog lover as an option for future pet care needs!
