Availability

I’m lucky to work part-time in healthcare, so I have days off that I like to fill with being around animals! My schedule is often different each week, so if you don't see availability on my calendar, just message me- I am often able to work around it.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m close to green space and many lovely trails to explore! My home is open to all creatures and they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch or bed as they wish! If you’d rather have your babies stay at your house, no worries- I’m a tidy guest and can help with other small tasks around your home as needed.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

It's important for me to know the nuances of your pup's personality before I assume care of them. Are they scared of traffic, loud noises, and/or kids? Are they a picky eater or prone to hunting for food left unattended on the table? How are their leash manners? Are they dog reactive? Can I spoil them with cuddles and pats, or do they like their own space? Knowing this beforehand will help both me and your dog be more comfortable during our time together.

A typical day

With many nearby trails and parks, your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoors time playing fetch, chasing birds and squirrels, and walking. In the winter, outdoor time is carefully monitored depending on how cold it is. Got a couch potato? No worries! Send along your pup's favourite blanket and he or she can snooze the day away on the couch.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Rachel! I'm a confident, responsible and assertive handler, having grown up with four large breed dogs. I'm certified in advanced pet first aid and CPR through The Pet Paramedic. I enjoy engaging with dogs through long walks, play, enriching games and cuddles. I am just as happy with a high-energy dog as I am with a couch potato. I love meeting new dogs and finding out their unique personalities and what makes them happy! I have first hand experience with puppies, as well as senior and special needs dogs. I'm competent and experienced with administering special diets and medications, as well as providing appropriate levels of play for dogs who have poor joints and pre-existing injuries.

Rachel is the best! She was able to watch my pets in a pinch and gave them incredible care while we were gone. She has a vibrant and radiant aura to her, she’s super easy to talk to and my boys immediately loved her. She gave me regular updates and had wonderful communication throughout her stay. When we got home, my place was exactly how we had left it which was a bonus as well! I would totally book with Rachel again, she’s awesome!

Rachel cared for my dog overnight very last minute. She was able to keep up with my puppy’s play level and gave me a number of photo updates along the way. She was very knowledgeable and wanted to ensure that my dog and her dog were safe at all times and that they had fun. She was always kind, thoughtful and went the extra mile when she could... she even played fetch with my pup for HOURS. Rachel truly saved the day and my dog came home happy, healthy and most importantly... tired!!! Thank you so much Rachel. If you’re looking for a sitter, look no further!!!
