Experienced and loving dog walker
Pet care experience
Having grown up with dogs, I can't imagine a life without the unconditional love, companionship, and joy they provide in day to day life! I live near Platt Park with my own senior Australian Shepard; I’ve been dog sitting for the past three years by word of mouth in Baltimore, Maryland and am looking to continue my love for meeting new pups and cats in Denver! I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a masters in clinical mental health counseling and work a typical 9-5 schedule so I’m only available in the evenings and on weekends. I'm available to drop in multiple times during the day over the weekend if you’re out of town, but won’t be able to stay over due to having my own pup to look after. For a little background, I started dog sitting for neighbors and friends in high school and continue to love caring for dogs in the comfort of their owner's home. Originating from the midwest, I grew up with many different breeds of dogs and have experience taking care of Malteses to Saint Bernards. I have a soft spot for senior rescues, as my boyfriend and I rescued our sweet girl from an abuse case in Virginia three years ago. I also have experience with long-term cat sitting. I'd be happy to do a meet and greet to make sure I'm a good match with your cat or dog!
Reviews
We are so glad to have found Rachel to walk our dog Smudge while we’re at work! We really appreciate how reliable and communicative she is, on top of being great with dogs!
Rachel was amazing!! She went above and beyond to make my pup feel comfortable and let him get some energy out. Will 100% be booking her again :)
Rachel has been a wonderful option for sitting for all three of our dogs. She manages their care well and can tolerate their different levels of need. The dogs are always happy and the house in order upon out return. I believe she goes there extra mile with regard to giving them appropriate attention and pays mind to their dietary restrictions. I highly recommend her.
If you are searching for someone with a calm, zen spirit who is kind, considerate, and cool under pressure, then stop scrolling and hire Rachel! She has been an integral part of our family, and we are thrilled to recommend her to yours. We had an incredibly busy year as my spouse worked through the demands of tenure-track faculty while I wrote and defended my dissertation. I'll never forget Rachel's calming presence - not just for us, but for all of our babies. Dekoda is our canine companion - he is 13 years young and moves slower these days. Rachel was patient and perfectly content to walk at Dekoda's pace, pick up after him, and watch for any limps or unsure footing on icy days. Rachel is punctual, an excellent communicator, and clearly loves dogs! It's also worth noting that - though you are searching for a dog sitter - Rachel was our #1 go-to favorite babysitter and nanny, as she cared for our infant son along with Dekoda and our feline companions Sakura and Puddy during our most-stressful year. We are forever grateful for Rachel's help. You will be, too!
