Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
I am happiest and most confident as a trusted animal caretaker when provided with detailed instructions and information about each unique pet (past and current medical concerns/issues, allergies, triggers, hiding spots, special needs etc.). I greatly prefer to conduct a meet and greet with you and your pet before you hire me, especially with overnight sitting.
A typical day
I will adjust to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I can provide engaging and entertaining adventures, but also understand some dog’s prefer a laidback walk in familiar places.

Pet care experience
I have two decades of experience caring for other’s pets, fostering cats, and walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have worked in a veterinary office and have experience giving insulin and pills, and reacting appropriately in emergency situations. I truly love animals and try to help them at any opportunity; I have rescued abandoned kittens, volunteered hundreds of hours at shelters, and also at various animal adoption events. I started walking the dogs in my neighborhood from a very young age to prove to my parents I could have my own dog! By the 6th grade I was very skilled at pack walks but now look forward to spending individual time with each dog on our shared walk. 🙂
Cat care experience
Rachel also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Amazing as always, thank you!
Rachel recently just spent 3 nights with my 3 pups. One of my dogs is a 16 year old Puggle and is deaf and mostly blind. She was wonderful in making sure she knew his medications and his special quirks. Although he still runs around and is very active for 16, she went above and beyond giving him special care. My 8 year old Corgi and 10 year old Beagle mix also appeared very content and happy when we got home. She asked lots of questions at the initial meet and greet and also was quick to notify us about a small piece of dry skin on one of our pups noses that appeared to have bled a little. Although nothing worrisome, I appreciated her concern and attention. She sent me several daily pictures and gave the dogs lots of outdoor and playtime. I would highly recommend Rachel and would easily call on her again.
Rachel was wonderful accommodating a last minute dog walk for us. The dogs were so happy to see her again and she gave them a great walk. She sent lots of photos! Thanks again!
Rachel did such a wonderful job caring for our dogs over the weekend. She provided excellent communication and lots of cute photos. She sent maps of all their walks and we returned to a spotless house and happy pups as well as cute photos of their time together. We will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you again!
