I work from home so I’ll be with your pup most of the day! I usually take my dog out in the morning for a walk and let him out in the afternoon and then after work for another walk.

Pet care experience

I have grown up always having a dog. I am very caring and attentive to a dog's needs. I enjoy being engaged and active with dogs. I love taking pictures and sending them to the dog owner. I also love helping people and making them feel comfortable and allowing them to trust me with their pet. I think the more information you can provide me about your pet - the better! I work from home and am able to give your pet all the attention they desire. If your dog is used to sleeping in a bed, I have no problem with your dog sleeping in my bed. I encourage you to bring their favorite toy or treats! In April 2020, I got a puppy of my own. His name is Charlie and he is a miniature golden doodle (30 lbs). He is friendly and loves other dogs.

I was so relieved Finch was in good hands with Rachel while I was out of town. She provided daily photos and updates and I can see he had a blast with Charlie.

Rachel was very easy to work with! She was patient with Mabel and kept me up to date on everything they were doing along with cute photos!

We were happy to be able to have Rachel watch our little guy while gone on our trip! She provided updates and took him on lots of walks. We could tell he was happy there while we were gone. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel is fantastic! Our Tillie loved playing with her pup Charlie and came home happy and tired. Rachel sent lots of photos and when Tillie was having trouble with thunderstorm and new-place nerves, she handled it like a pro. Wonderful sitter!
