Pet care experience
I'm a farm-raised, native born Kansan, who has lived in Lawrence for the past 10 years. I was basically raised around animals, taking care of the livestock, wildlife, and the many trusty farm pets we had throughout my childhood. I can't remember a time where we didn't have at least two dogs on the farm - hence my love for dogs. Since being in Lawrence, I recently got my own dog, a young Boxador we've named Leyland. I have had her for the last two years, and have learned a lot about the difference between free-reign farm pets, and in-town dog life. Because of my experience with farm dogs, I know that pets deserve plenty of outdoor, active play time, so I make it a point to schedule this into my dog's day, and my work schedule. I know all of the great dog trails, off-leash parks, and am pretty handy at training dogs to walk better and be polite in public settings when on downtown walks. I attribute my dog's training, and my training knowledge to the professionals at Wagmore Canine Enrichment, in Lawrence, KS. These ladies know their dogs, and model the proper treatment and language to train dogs lovingly. I take my dog on multiple walks a day, and try to make it out to the dog park and trails multiple times a week, usually bringing along a car-full of neighborhood dogs as well. Since I am such a dog-lover, and enjoy keeping my lovable pup exercised and happy, I thought I could also help other dog-parents benefit from our active lifestyle. Oh, and did I mention I'm a teacher?! This means flexible work hours and summers off! Let me know if you and your pet are interested in some extra activity in your life. My pup and I will be there for you!
Reviews
I highly recommend Rachel as a responsible and loving dog caregiver without hesitation. She has and continues to wonderfully care for all three of our dogs, which are all rescues and males (a 2-y/o black lab, a 10 y/o german shepherd mix, and a 6 y/o long-haired dachshund). She makes sure they have adequate water and food (they each have different types of food), takes them on walks and to the dog park, and just loves on them. She is a wonderful pet owner of her own rescued female boxer. Rachel is very good with keeping the dogs calm when the four of them get together for play and get excited.
