Hours of physical/mental exercise!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Rachel and I love dogs and cats and all pets! I was the manager of a local animal shelter for years, and have my own dog, a five year old high energy, cattle dog mix who is five. I'm a mother of five, and I also have four cats! Im a firm lover of rewards based training, and love to add value of trick training! I am happy to come to your home, walk your pups, play with your pets, and give them the safety of their own home with the best care possible. Message me and we will talk about your baby and how I can meet their needs. I'll care for any additional pets aside from reptiles requiring live feeds. When I come stay at your house for the night or if you select me for drop ins you wont just get someone taking pup out to potty and feeding and watering. I come with a vast array of training experience and will practice manners, bring food puzzles and brain games for your dog, and give your dog a lot of attention. Tired, mentally and physically stimulated dogs are happy dogs, and we want your dogs happy while youre away.

Rachel has been my go to gal for pet care for the last 6 years. I have had 3dogs and 3 cats at one point. She took the time to learn the hand signals for my deaf dog and she was successful in managing my dog who has resource guarding issues. She is well versed in dog body language and eagerly seeks out new information when a new behavior or challenge comes her way. Rachel is a lover of cats as well and is very patient. We have a semi feral cat who is really skittish and Rachel took the time to get to know her and appreciate what Flower brings to our furry family dynamic. She is thorough when gaining information on how to care for my pets as well as giving me details of her time with them while I am away. She is very creative when it comes to enrichment activities and this makes a big difference to my active herding dogs and my adolescent boy kitty. I can’t say enough good things about Rachel’s compassion, patience, attention to detail, and customer service skills.

Hi! my job includes a lot of travel, and my dog does not do well in new situations. I also don't like leaving my home unattended for a week, so I ask Rachel to come and take care of my dog and cat and look over my house. Her rates are cheaper than boarding my dog, and I have someone there with experience taking care of her. She always brings her treats and fun toys and food puzzles for her to play with. Ill always use her!

Rachel is wonderful! She's been my go to pet sitter for my senior dog Ruby, a chihuahua mix for years. When we take the big young dog camping and hiking, Ruby just cant do those things anymore, and while I hate leaving her, Rachel makes it easy and I dont worry about them. I love knowing her background in animal care and animal handling and her love of pets will make my dogs feel comfortable. She has also watched my cat when I've been away and I am happy to not have to worry about them while I'm gone. She also watches Ruby at my house, which makes me feel much better about her being in her own space! Definitely Recommend!

How can I put this simply? Rachel Levitre is WONDERFUL. She's been taking care of my Labrador, Daisy, for several years now. Any time I've ever left town, she's my go-to gal. She's so considerate, very caring, and has such a big heart for all humans and animals alike. Every time she comes to take care of Daisy, she's so excited to see Rachel. She always checks in with me to make sure things are going well, and always asks if there's more she can do to help. Wouldn't trade her for the world. Team Levitre!

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet

I love them all, especially big ones! But there's nothing like a little lap dog to make a gal smile. I like to know their likes and dislikes in great detail, and I like to tailor my visits to make them super happy. I have experience with all temperaments, though I do charge more for special handling such as separation anxiety, stranger aggression, or medical handling.

A typical day

I can walk a familiar route, go walk the neighborhood, or travel to a nearby park.. if your dog likes car rides, I'll give them rides too! I'm will also bring toys, brain games, and treats for trick training your pup for mental stimulation :)
