15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

As a lifelong Pittsburgh resident and a Mt. Lebanon local for 7 years, I have extensive knowledge of dog-friendly areas and walking trails to support active dogs. As for senior dogs, I can also cater to their needs with less strenuous activities and one-on-one socialization at their own pace and comfort level. I also have personal pet sitter’s insurance, so you can book my services knowing that your pet will be in good hands.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any favorite walking spots, cute nicknames, or quirky habits your dog has. I want to be a familiar face to my clients, and maintaining a positive relationship with your dog is vital to my services.

A typical day

I love the relationship built with a dog companion, so I'd love to have repeat clients in order to get to know your dog. That way I can cater to their needs, whether that's a more slow-paced walk to enjoy the fresh air and smells or a workout for dogs with high energy. Thanks for reading, and I hope to meet your furry friend soon!

I'll Tell Your Dog You Said Hi

Pet care experience

My childhood dog, Daisy, a Yorkie mix that I had for 17 years, was my best friend. As a child, I trained her, and as an adult, I had to make adjustments to her environment when her mobility, sight, and hearing became limited. That relationship instilled in me a lifelong love of dogs.

Chowder and Patrick loved their stay with Rachel! Chowder has become even more obsessed with his favorite toy because Rachel played with him so much! And she made Patrick feel so comfortable he was out and about and snuggly! She was extremely thorough and we felt totally safe leaving our fur babies in her care!

Once again, Rachel was fabulous with our pets and our house. She gives really sweet updates and leaves us feeling confident that we've left everything in good hands. It's so obvious that she loves animals.

Rachel was great with our pup this weekend. She sent pics and took him for plenty of walks. She was accommodating with our requests and as a guest in our house, and MOST importantly spent lots of time with him. This was our first time using this app and having a stranger in our house with our dog… and we’ve already booked Rachel for another stay!
