Pet care experience

Hiking Buddy/Furry Friend Sitter!

Hello! I am an animal lover and have been a volunteer with the Humane Society for over 10 years, fostering animals, walking dogs, helping in the vet office, among other activities. I also have walked and “nannied” dogs for 20 years. One of my past jobs include working at a pet store focused on finding the healthiest and most natural food, medicines, and toys for all pets. Here, I learned a great deal about dog health and behavior. I have been a part of 4-H and have taken classes in veterinary medicine as a pre-Vet student. I have also interned in a private vet clinic where I was able to observe patient appointments. I am a highly active DPT who loves to find fun hiking spots & will run with your dog or walk depending on their capabilities. I also love just giving them attention! I have been learning about canine rehab. I have been taking care of animals through Rover for over 6 years and I would love to take care of yours as I would my own while you are away!

Rachel and her roommates were very welcoming and friendly! My 8 year old chihuahua was taken care of and he quickly became very comfortable with them. Rachel was great at sending text and picture updates while I was out of town. I will definitely rebook with Rachel!

Rachel is awesome. I just moved to town and have to travel for work, and she quickly established herself as a trustworthy way to keep the dogs taken care of. When I got home last night: no pent up energy, no desperate need to use the bathroom, no begging for food, no accidents around the house, and no hotspots on the Golden. Additionally, these are both big dogs (and the Weim is very anxious), and she was more than able to handle both from a control standpoint. Hire Rachel.

Rachel was awesome with my pup! It was my first time to leave my dog for several days and Rachel was sure to make me feel better about it. She updated me frequently and definitely kept my dog entertained. I definitely recommend Rachel!

Rachel was amazing! She responded back to me immediately and was able to take care of Lola at the last minute. She worked around her schedule as well as Lola’s which really meant a lot to me. I will definitely be asking her in the future when I need a sitter!

We loved Rachel! She did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs. They were fed @ their appropriate times and I was notified about it. This was important to us because along with their feeding came medication for a couple of the dogs. She kept us @ ease during our vacation. We will most definitely use Rachel again in the future. Thank you so much Rachel and Rover ❤

Rachel was our primary sitter for our dog while we were away. She took great care of our dog and even sat with him in the evenings while she studied. Our dog was always happy to see Rachel which made us feel that she took very good care of him. Rachel also would give us updates about how he was doing while we were away. We highly recommend her for dog sitting.

Pets

A typical day

I love finding new trails and runs to go on so the dogs get to experience nature & so they don’t get bored! I also enjoy going to parks and playing fetch or whatever game the dog prefers. If they enjoy being in the water I would love to take them to the ocean as well, I am an experienced swimmer, diver, surfer, and lifeguard.

I would like to know their health history and any concerns you have first of all. Second, I would love to know their favorite things to do or places to go. I have no breed preferences.
