Dependable certified K-9 handler!

Pet care experience

I grew up with 3 amazing dogs and from a young age I knew I wanted to work with animals. I was certified as a dog handler at age 14 when I trained my first service dog, he was certified by the AKC as an emotional support animal and that is what sparked my interest in working with animals. After graduating high school I got a job at a local pet shop I also started doing pet sitting independently as well. About a year later I got a job at the veterinary clinic I took my dogs to, there I did part time reception and kennel technician, I supervised the doggy daycare program, and helped the veterinary technicians with whatever they needed. I have plenty of experience in different areas, from training and behavior, to general K-9 health. I just moved to Hernando but previously I worked full time for Lifeline Animal Project in the metro Atlanta area. I am very passionate about animals and I promise to provide the very best care for your pet.

Rachel did an excellent job pet sitting! She kept in touch with updates, took great care of our babies, and the house looked better than we left it. We will definitely have her watch them again!

Rachel was just awesome with my babies. I’ve never seen them so happy and she kept me updated sending me photos and they really took to her. She is so good I will definitely use her in the future.

Information Rachel J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know general information, your pets name, age, any health concerns, behavioral concerns, any special requests you would like me to fulfill, feeding and medication schedules.

A typical day

I like to keep my dogs mentally and physically stimulated. A tired dog is a good dog. Even taking short walks during potty breaks helps. I’ll play with them using their favorite toys and send photo updates as often as requested. I live in an area with lots of nice trails and parks I can use for walks.
