Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog takes any medication or has any special needs. If there’s any strict schedule, do you want us to stick to I’d like to know about that ahead of time and if there’s any allergies, that would be helpful.

A typical day

Typically when I wake up, I’ll let the dogs out in the backyard. I check my work email and then we go to the dog park for about an hour. Then I let them out around lunch for a half hour and go for a walk. And then in the evening we go for a walk with the dog park again and then we’ll let them out in the backyard before bed.

Rachel is always great with our pup! She is afraid of thunderstorms and we forgot to provide her meds. Rachel sat with her through it and had lick mats ready to calm her down. Rachel always goes the extra mile!
