Pet care experience

Trustworthy Pet Care

Hi! I’m Rachel, a lifelong animal lover and proud owner of a 5-year-old Standard Poodle. As I begin my new professional career, I’m excited to continue caring for pets on the side because it’s something I truly enjoy. I have a small backyard and live in a dog-friendly neighborhood with plenty of grassy areas and great walking routes. There’s also a nearby dog park available for dogs who enjoy socializing, with owner approval. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet, and I’ll treat your furry family member with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own dog.

Rachel came through for us in a last minute pinch. Our dogs got along so well that we will for sure use her again. She was extremely easy to communicate with and sent us the cutest videos and pictures. Her care for our dog was outstanding.

Rachel was great with our 6 year old Cavapoo! We appreciated her sending pictures throughout the weekend seeing how much fun she was having. When we picked up our dog at the end of the weekend, it was easy to see she was happy and well taken care of.

I cannot recommend Rachel highly enough! From our first meeting, it was clear that they have a genuine love for dogs. She took the time to get to know my pup, asking thoughtful questions about her habits and preferences. During each walk, my dog returned happy and well-exercised. Rachel was always punctual, reliable, and communicated updates promptly. It’s evident that she prioritizes safety and comfort, which put me at ease. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like their own, Rachel is the perfect choice!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities in pet care. I ensure a secure environment for all pets by using safe practices during walks, playtime, and interactions. I’m vigilant about recognizing and managing any potential hazards. I believe that building trust with both pets and their owners is essential. I communicate openly, providing regular updates and insights into their pet’s well-being. My goal is to create a reassuring experience, allowing owners to feel confident that their furry friends are in caring and responsible hands.
