Safety, trust & environment

I am a careful and cautious dog walker. I prefer to use a harness or martingale collar, and I do not use retractable leashes, as they do not offer enough control. And I always clean up after my dog.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know as much about your pet as you can ahead of time. This will help me be the best I can for them. Anything they are scared of? Something they really love?

A typical day

I like to spend time and get to know your pet. What they like and are interested in. I talk to my pets a lot. I don't know how much they understand, but they seem to appreciate it.

Pet care experience

I have had animals since I was a child. I am most recently a "dog person" for the last 14 years. In that time I have had 4 dogs: Zelda (a large greyhound) and Fiona (Chihuahua mix), both of whom have crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently, I have two dogs, Monty another Chihuahua mix, and Curie a (mostly) greyhound. I have experience giving dogs medicine, as the greyhound needed daily thyroid pills.

Rachel was great caring for Remy while I was on vacation. I appreciated the daily communication and pics which comforted me and gave me confidence Remy was in good hands. Remy was happy in Rachel’s care.

RYDER Looks forward to his "Kick Off The Week" Walk with Rachel. She provides him variety, taking alternate routes around the neighborhood and exposing him to new sights and scents while out catching the morning sun and an occasional Squirrel crossing to get his heart-a-pumping! Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of our boy. I'm certain he's excited to see you arrive and walk with him... Thank You!

Our dog - "Ryder" thoroughly enjoys his meet up and neighborhood walk with Rachel. With Spring arrival - Ryder loves being greeted by Rachel who takes him out in the morning sunshine to get his "sniffing quotas" in, and his exercise early in the day. Rachel's been awesome- pawsome! 🐾☀️👟
