Pet care experience
I've lived with dogs nearly my whole life. My family has always been big on adopting from shelters, which means we've had some interesting breed mixes - labrador/chow, pit bull/terrier, and most recently catahoula/corgi. I have watched the houses and pets of both family and friends over the years and I love it! I love meeting new dogs and enjoying the outdoors with canine company. I'm new to Fort Collins and currently have quite a bit of free time, so let me help you with your pets!
Reviews
Rachel was absolutely fantastic!! She provided great care for our dogs and gave us the opportunity to attend our son's wedding without worrying about our fur babies at all!!! She went above and beyond and even washed her bedding and towels so we wouldn't have that to come home to!! Our dogs loved her and we came home to very well cared for and loved dogs. She communicated well throughout the whole process, which was great since it was our first time using this type of service. I would HIGHLY recommend using Rachel as we will be using her in the future as well!!
Rachel was great, Chloe loved her. She arrived when scheduled and took Chloe out and spent time with her while I was at work. I love that Rachel can be flexible since my schedule and when I need someone to walk Chloe can be unpredictable. I highly recommend Rachel for any pet sitting or walking needs.
I have employed Rachel several times to watch my dog. Each time she has gone the extra mile by taking him for long walks or playing Frisbee in the backyard; she even agreed to take him to the vet after he came down with a mild respiratory infection just before my husband and I were scheduled to leave on a trip. Not only is she dependable, but it is obvious she cares about our furry family member. It is a relief to know Riften is in such capable hands when we are away.
Rachel is responsible, responsive, and reliable as a dog sitter. She has watched my dog alone at my house with absolutely no issues. My dog loves her and we trust her in our home without us. She follows my instructions to a T when it comes to my dog's care: walking her twice a day, keeping her on the leash, oversaw her minor medical care, etc. When we leave town, she is our go-to person to take care of our dog. She has also stepped in to help walk and feed her when both of us have long days and can't make it back in time. She also sends us photos of our pup when we're not home so we know everything is going okay. I recommend her to others when they need their pets looked after.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
I love all dog breeds, especially labradors and dogs with interesting markings! When taking care of new dogs, it's always nice to know if they have any favorite toys or places they enjoy walking and what their daily schedule normally is. Additionally, I like knowing if they get along with other dogs, if they're scared of anything (thunderstorms, for example), and if they're prone to chase small animals like rabbits.
A typical day
I love walking in local parks - I usually take my camera with in case there is any interesting wildlife to snap photos of, or if the dog I'm walking decides to be particularly cute! I also enjoy playing with dogs, whether that's catch, tug-o-war, or frisbee.
