Safety, trust & environment

Since I offer dog walking, I come to you and care for your dog in their own familiar environment. I follow your instructions on leashing, routes, and routine exactly. Safety is my top priority: I keep your dog leashed, avoid hazards, stay alert to their body language, and never put them in a situation that feels off. My sister is a vet, so I know how to spot when something is wrong.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, behaviors, or routines I should account for: leash habits, reactivity to other dogs, medications, allergies, or commands your dog responds to. I’m comfortable with dogs big and small, and the more you tell me, the better I can tailor each walk. I’d rather over-communicate than miss something that keeps your dog safe and comfortable.

A typical day

A walk with me is about fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure. We’ll explore the neighborhood at a pace that suits your dog, sniff out all the interesting spots, and get good energy out. I keep it positive and upbeat, with lots of praise and affection, so your pup comes home happy and tired in the best way.

Pet care experience

I've had my own dog for 11 years now, before that I grew up with a family chocolate lab. I've always had dogs in my life and my sister is a vet so I've experienced a lot and learned a lot. I would never let a dog get hurt! I treat dogs like humans :) I know what to do in many different situations because I've had experience with dogs my entire life, big and small. My boyfriend and I have watched a dog overnight for 2 weeks before. Our dog, Piper is nice and relaxed and gets along well with others. She loves having a friend around like she did when I was in college living with my roommate who had a Maltese. Day to day: I wake up at 7, walk my dog, then feed her. We hang out, I might go run some errands and puppy proof the apartment before I leave. I'll come back and let her out again. At night I let her out once after I feed her at 7, so about 8:30, then once more before I go to bed. I play with my dog a lot and she likes to snuggle. I would do all these things for your dog and anything else you request!
