Pet care experience

Happy to help, if I can!

I've had cats since I was 5 years old and grew up around dogs. However, it wasn't until I did my diploma in animal care that I discovered a true passion for looking after dogs, including training with positive reinforcement methods.

My dog suffers from anxiety and can't be left alone. This was his first visit with Rachel and he did settle eventually. Very grateful to Rachel for helping me out.

Absolutely fantastic. Rachel has been excellent every time she has looked after my excitable dog. Brilliant care, communication, updates and videos of walkies.

Lulu was well cared for, from videos sent by Rachel you could tell she was comfortable, would definitely use again for either or both my dogs

Schedule

I am currently trying to slowly build up a portfolio of clients, due to me having fibromyalgia this is a great stepping stone until I set up my own business.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have much of a garden, it's shared between 4 people. However, I live out of the town center so can take the dogs on walks away from busy streets.

Pets

A typical day

I love play with dogs, allowing them to use their natural instincts during play is essential and I would tailor the type of activity/enrichment depending on the breed of dog. There would be multiple walks away from busy and main roads.

0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
18 to 45 kg
over 45 kg
Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Rachel can host up to 2 pets per night
I will need to know the dog's training/routine to ensure the safest stay and walks possible with me. I will also need to know if there are any behavioral issues with people or other animals (this won't mean an automatic rejection, I just need to know how to prepare in advance).
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
