Work from Home, flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
Hello! I have grown up surrounded by dogs of my entire life and currently own a German Shepherd named Blizzard. I have experience with dogs of all breeds and sizes, formalized and crate training, and can recognize signs of distress or discomfort. My favorite activities include cuddling with your canine or exploring the outdoors with a pup at my side, but I am up for anything that makes your fur baby comfortable and content. I work from home so am flexible with my schedule and can look after your pup in my own home or in the comfort of yours. I look forward to hearing more about your fur baby and any needs you might have!
Reviews
Highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter. She was conscientious and a good communicator. Our dog was happy to see us upon return, and not traumatized.
Rachel is a sweetheart. She engaged with my 2 large dogs and came and did a paid walk prior to my vacation. The dogs are happy, healthy, and relaxed. I would have her take care of my pups again. Thank you, Rachel!!
Rachel took great care of our dogs (and house!) while we were gone for a long trip out of the country. I'd highly recommend her!
Rachel has a good rapport with dogs, is very punctual and is an attentive listener. Rachel had agreed to sit Wilbur for two days during Thanksgiving several weeks beforehand. Between then and Thanksgiving, Wilbur was very unexpectedly diagnosed with advanced, untreatable lung cancer and given a short time to live. This obviously changed the nature of Rachel's dog-sitting duties (it was possible he wouldn't even survive until Thanksgiving) and I gave Rachel several opportunities to back out of the job but she stuck to her commitment. While Wilbur had been steadily declining, he was in relatively good shape when Rachel began watching him on Wednesday. He stayed this way until Thursday evening when, alas, he hit the wall and became non-ambulatory and non-responsive. Rachel handled this worst-case situation as well as possible, calling me for direction and doing everything possible to comfort Wilbur in his final hours. I was very impressed by and grateful for the way that Rachel handled this very difficult situation. I highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I can accommodate whatever needs you request, including activity and exercise times, medications, etc. Most people prefer their dog to stay in the comfort of their own home and that is completely fine! I am able to be there all day and spend the night as well. I live with my boyfriend so don’t worry about my dog, he is being taken care of!

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there is a schedule to follow, any specific requirements for care and also what activities the dog enjoys! Please also let me know how much time you would prefer me to spend with your dog (all day, most of the day, every couple hours).
A typical day
Whatever your dog is capable of! My dog is very high energy so I am used to hour long walks/hikes or some sort of exercise numerous times a day. If your dog prefers to lounge on the couch and cuddle, I am up for that too.

I have the flexibility to work remotely so that can be from my place or yours! I am used to taking breaks to walk my dog or give him attention and can do the same for yours!
