Snuggles and play, all day!
Pet care experience
Hi I'm Rachel a 23 year old who is currently full time in post-secondary courses online and working hard to hopefully one day achieving my doctorate. I'm looking to make some extra money, and I have always enjoyed spending time with pets. Growing up I owned two yorkies that are different as day and night, but because of that I have learnt a lot. Unlike some dog sitters/walkers I know how important the emotional needs of dogs are, as well as exercise. My one dog is insensitive to almost everything and needs to run Run RUN! However my other dog is sensitive to almost everything and needs to take a break from stimulus as much as he needs to be exercised. So with dog sitting and walking I will always try and be aware of the needs of your dog. As an adult I’ve had my own experience with fearful and reactive dogs and have learnt even more on how to emotionally be there for dogs. I am planning on getting my pet first aid and CPR as soon as possible. Currently I am awaiting to start my dog trainer certification course in may 2023. I have knowledge and experience training dogs, providing enrichment, walking dogs, and making dogs comfortable during their stay.
Reviews
Rachel was a great pet sitter! She stayed with our dog at our house for a week. We had a very happy puppy and a very clean house when we got home. We appreciated the daily photos and updates. We will definitely be booking Rachel again!
I know my animals are in good hands when Rachel takes care of them. She always has lots of love and play time with them. We feel at ease knowing she is with them.
Rachel is a wonderful pet sitter. She cared for our dog and cat for 10 days, she updated us daily with texts and photos. She is so loving with our pets.
Rachel cared for our pets like her own. The animals loved having her and I appreciate all the lovely updates when we were gone! We will definitely book Rachel the next time we are out of town!
About Rachel M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I try to always keep an open line of contact and let owners know what’s going on with their dogs. When it comes to safety I am very careful around food, doors, and keeping pets inside or on leash. I always tell people even if I’ve pet sat for you before, you know you’re dog best! I don’t; so I’m in a position where I don’t take any risks.
Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet
Before dog sitting I'd like to know the rules of their house and their schedule. Important things to know are also their quirks and habits! Are we counter surfers? Do we like other dogs? Kids? Where do we hide? Door dashers? That way I can try and adjust to make everything as normal as possible for your dog/s.
A typical day
I love to play, run and enjoy the company of your dog! But most of all I'd like to do what they enjoy best and not push them outside of their comfort zone.
