Pet care experience
I have been a sitter on Rover for about 4 years now. My background with animals began at a young age. I grew up on a farm in Southern Maryland raising horses, chickens, cats, dogs, and rabbits. We also fostered Saint Bernards for 10 years as well, I was even a member of the 4H where I showed our family Saint Bernard. My love for animals continued into adulthood where I got my degree in environmental science, specializing in conservation and wildlife. Throughout college I volunteered at a local dog rescue with my sorority, participating in dog adoption days and fundraisers. Being away from my family pets back home and dealing with the loss of my roommate’s Rottweiler that I adored has left a hole in my heart. I miss being around animals and especially large dogs and would love to help you take care of your furry family members.

Our dog had a great weekend with Rachel! Would definitely recommend. We got updates with photos and could tell she was well taken care of!
Rachel L. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Rachel was great! She was super communicative and took wonderful care of Lexi! Would recommend.
Rachel was kind, professional, and helpful, and the cats loved her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I take extra safety precautions when in my clients homes, always locking the doors, etc. when walking dogs I usually stay away from other people/dogs just to be on the safe side.
Home
Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, and also love cats and other small pets. I only ask for basic information like any food allergies, temperament with strangers and other animals, any behavior to be aware of like resource guarding (with food or toys).
A typical day
I am active and can take dogs on longer walks/runs if you have a high energy pet. I am also a cuddle bug- so if you allow your pup on furniture they are welcome to sleep and snuggle with me.
