Not just a therapist for humans!

Pet care experience

Thank you for considering me and entrusting me with the care of your fur baby! I have one of my own, a two year old Golden Retriever named Oshie (Go Capitals!), and understand wanting to ensure he has the best care when I myself am not home. As a mental health therapist, I strive to help others lessen their loads and hope to do the same for you and your fur babies by dropping by to visit and play, going on a walk and to the park while you are at work. I am located in downtown Norfolk and am able to travel up to 10 miles to care for your pet. I have flexible availability over the weekends and holidays. Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like a consultation.

Rachel is truly the dog whisperer! I’ve never seen her meet a dog and not have an instant love connection. Rachel is very responsible, conscientious and great about being on time. She’s the first person I ask when I need someone to help take care of my pup!

You will not find a better dog walker or sitter then Rachel! She loves dogs and will go out of her way to make sure they are happy and safe. I don’t need to tell you anymore about her just book a time with her and you’ll see for yourself!!

As Rachel's father I can tell you that as a family we have always had dogs. She has always been one to provide tremendous love and caring for each of them. If your in search of someone that would care for your pet, the way that you would, Rachel would be the one. She has always been responsible in all aspects of caring for each one of our dogs. Know that your best friend will be in good hands with Rachel.

Going out of town for the weekend? Instead of taking your dog to a loud kennel or an over-priced dog hotel, connect your dog with Rachel. Rachel is a 5-star dog-sitter that I highly recommend. Rachel is conscientious, dependable, and she has a genuine love for dogs. Not only will your dog receive personalized pet care, you will also receive cute photo updates over the course of the weekend. Everyone wins!

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know beforehand any important information pertaining to diet, medications, medical issues, and temperament/socialization issues. I want to ensure that I set your pet up for success during our walks and stays and do not want to place them in any uncomfortable situations.

A typical day

Favorite spots: the Pagoda, the ERT, Freemason, and Bea Arthur park. Activities: long walks, trips to the dog park (depending on owner and pet preference), and occasional meet and greets with my dog Oshie again if owner and pet permit.
