Loving Animal Whisperer & Caregiver

Hello! My name is Rachel. I am an experienced animal whisperer, animal lover and pet caregiver. Entrusted for over 15 years with all breeds, sizes, multiples. For one time, daily visits, extended over nights stays, with responsibilities of: lengthy walks, picking up after/litter box, timely feeding and water. Loving attention, socializing, exercising, play and upon request: light grooming, administering medicine, canine acupressure massage, harmony for family/pet dynamics, and behavioral assistance. I will always communicate with you to ensure all of your pet and home need's are honored. I am glad to provide positive reassurance with photo updates while your animals are in my care. I am reliable, responsible, attentive, and loving; happy to be there for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and wonderful references. I am happy to listen to your needs and answer any questions. I look forward to caring for your animals! I have a flexible schedule to be home with animals and share my free time in nature. I am happy to bring dogs for long walks. I also meditate and cherish down-time, so animals like my company at home. Snuggles, baths, swimming, long walks, playing in a fenced in yard, laying in the grass with them, reading a book and sitting together, singing or talking with them, cuddles at bedtime.

My older dog loved staying at Rachel’s house. She was easy to communicate with, sent us lots of photos, and was flexible when we were delayed coming home. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I am open for longer term overnight stays or boarding. If in your home, it needs to be free of heavy fragrances and mold. When able, I prefer boarding animals in my home. When I board, there are no other animals in the house. However, my land lord has a dog and they are on the land or near the house at times. Therefore, I am not able to board dogs who are reactive in any way to dogs or men.

A typical day

I will offer your animals love, patience, and attention. Upon the owners request and dogs needs, I can bring your dogs on careful short walks/ let out in back yard, or energized adventures on the sidewalk or at a park, or to socialize with others. I will play with your dogs with their favorite toys, or valued attention- snuggles and scratches. I specialize in certified canine acupressure massage, energy healing, and behavioral assistance, helping rescue dogs and animal- family dynamics. I also am experienced caring for other animals: cats, bunnies, birds, horses, rodents, amphibians. I am glad to help water any plants, take in the packages/newspaper/mail, bring out trash and recycling, etc.
