An Energetic Young Professional
Pet care experience
As an owner of two dogs for almost 12 years, I know what to expect when taking care of enthusiastic young pups and mellow seniors. The eagerness of the dog, no matter the age, as they run to the door and await their leash being put on is such a pure moment, and I want to be there to experience that with your dog. With communication experience in hospitality, retail and corporate settings, I will be sure to make this process as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Placing your dog into someone else's care is stressful, no doubt, but know that when you return home to your dog, they will be just as happy (if not happier) as you left them! My goal is to establish a connection with you and your dogs, learning favorite spots and making sure they are comfortable each time I greet them. I hope to meet your dogs soon!
Reviews
Our dog, Coco immediately took a liking to Rachel so I felt very comfortable with Rachel taking Coco for walks. I returned home to find a very happy dog!
Rachel was fabulous when taking care of Portia. First I have to tell you how happy Portia was when she saw Rachel so I definitely had no doubts there. She would feed her and walk her but it wasn't just a bathroom run as I have come across with other walkers. She made sure she got her excersise and played. They had a real relationship. I trust her with my baby and you don't get any better then that.
Having Rachel as my dog walker/caregiver while I was away for work or vacation was a pleasant experience. My beagle mix, Daisy, absolutely loved her! Rachel was very professional, always on time and such, but also had enough energy to be playful to keep up with my active dog. I was sad to see her move away to college! She is a great candidate for this job.

Safety, trust & environment
For pets in my own home, we don’t leave anything out that could be harmful for the puppies and dogs. There are ample toys available and I have a fenced backyard for quick running around time! For visiting homes, I follow any and all instructions left by the home owner.
Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet
The most important thing to know are the rules you set for your dog, so that as a caregiver I don’t overstep or promote bad habits. Also, knowing if your puppy has any medication that they may need to take. Healthy dogs are happy dogs!
A typical day
Grassy walks are what my dogs love and I’m sure all of them do! A local park or trail is my go to. Sheepfold is definitely my #1 spot!
