Huge animal lover!!!(:

Pet care experience

(To anyone in Gig Harbor!!! Due to the bridge toll I add an extra $10 fee per night for house sitting. I know it’s not convenient for pet owners but I have different dogs I need to do a daily check in on everyday in Tacoma so no matter what I’d have to drive over to the Tacoma side daily if I was ever in Gig harbor. Sorry for any inconvenience!!!) HUGE animal lover!! I have had immense experience with dogs of all sorts over the years. Previously I have worked at a doggy daycare where I spent 6-12 hours a day with them! I worked with dogs of all ages, breeds and sizes everyday. It was a fun job that I thoroughly enjoyed getting to spend time with animals all day 😃 This is where I began to house sit dogs. Since our clients already felt comfortable with us watching them at the daycare I would often house sit their dogs on the weekends as well. I currently volunteer at the humane society where I walk dogs every week(: This has given me so much experience working with dogs that have all kinds of different backgrounds. It’s taught me what to expect out of any situation that arises and also working in high stress environments. I have two little fur babies myself but would LOVE to have a chance to watch you’re little ones while you’re away! I do school online and am actually between jobs now because I’m graduating soon and won’t need to work at my school anymore. I’m hopefully looking for something that is in person and just during the day with a break sometime in between. Something that will allow me to house sit your dogs/check in on them during the day if need be (: currently I can watch your dog morning time and evening time with a check in afternoon, but am totally flexible depending on whatever your schedule or pets needs are. 😃 I will treat & care for your pet as if they were my own. If you have any questions about my experience or fees please do not hesitate to ask! I Love all kinds of animals and would love to have the chance to take care of yours! I promise to send tons of pictures/ videos and regularly give check ups as well if need be. Thank you!!! I work at my school as well as do school online but since I’m graduating this month, I plan on finding work elsewhere. During the time I am with your pup I’d occasionally be doing school work/spending time with them (playing, walking, ect). The afternoons I would be gone for a few hours and can give a lot more of my stone during the evening. Of course I can always check in during the day frequently and like I said, am super flexible on whatever your pets needs are!! 😃🐶 I will make sure your dog is well looked after and provide meals as needed. If you’e dog requires medication I can also provide this in addition to crating your dog if needed.

Rachel is fantastic! Super thorough, responsive, punctual and generally did such a great job with both our pups. Helps to make you still feel close to your dogs while you’re away!

Very generous sitter. The cats had some tummy issues unfortunately and Rachel handled it all beautifully. Looking forward to working with her again

Rachel was wonderful and I could not have asked for a better dogsitter! She consistently went out of her way every day to make my dog comfortable, even taking him to her home to let him play in the backyard (with my permission, of course)! She sent tons of pics and videos which eased my mind 2300 miles away! She even gave updates on my cat, who she was not paid to take care of. I know how hard it is to leave your pets, but Rachel will definitely make you feel better about it. I just wish I had found her before!

Once again Rachel was fabulous with all three of my pups and they are a handful. She is great with updates. You are guaranteed to return home to pups that are well taken care of and tired as well as a clean home - this is the best feeling!

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

Breed of dog Size of dog Age of dog Are they very active? Do they have any special needs I should know about? How much physical exercise do they need? How much time do they usually require daily with people? Are they aggressive towards any other dogs or toys/foods? Are there any toys or items that cannot be around them? Food allergies?

A typical day

Most of the exercise will be spent either at the park or running/walking around the neighborhood! I run every morning so it’s convenient to exercise dogs while doing it! I make sure to regularly reinforce good behavior while training dogs and using treats to do so.
