Hi! I'm Rachel, and I'm a college student far from home. With classes being virtual and my family far away, I'm really missing the presence of furry friends in my life. Financially, I can't support my own dog or cat yet but I have so much love to give to pets and animals around me! What Sets Me Apart: I'm a university student studying a professional, competitive field, which makes me extremely organized and responsible....but I will also absolutely adore your pet. My friends can tell you -- when we pass by a dog on the street, they usually end up having to drag me away from cooing over it for half an hour. I really want to understand what you and your pets need from me -- I'm happy to let them on my bed for cuddles, but also to shoo them off if you don't want to create that habit. I can train good habits, and bake home-made treats to avoid allergies. I just...genuinely miss pets so much. Qualifications: I have been a pet owner for 15 years, from my first fish at 5 years old to my wonderful, fluffy Bichon Frise named Bobo who is still with us today. I have also helped foster 5 dogs with very different personalities and a variety of issues, including heartworm, separation anxiety, resource guarding, etc. They are all successfully adopted and taught me the importance of routine, discipline, and lots and lots of love.
