Pet care experience

Animals are a man’s best friend and I strongly believe in this proverb. I have volunteered multiple years for different shelters and agencies primarily with Dog Days; loving, caring and giving much vital attention to dogs in need. Fostering dogs has been one of the most rewarding experiences that may not pay in cash but the endless amount of love and the fulfilling feeling that leaves a mark on your heart making a dog feel loved and safe is priceless. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in adopting a dog or becoming a dog owner to foster. I have helped nurtured dogs with behavior issues, training, and socializing, and I have also pet sat for creatures of all sizes from fish to horse. I have given medication to multiple animals and I am large animal rescued certified. I care for many of our special needs pets with ease because my kindness, patience and attention creates a bond that has pets loving me immediately. I am caring and compassionate to all of the pets in my care.

Rachel was great and stayed with our dogs when we needed it at the last minute. She also was resourceful and helped out with some house issues- so helpful! And of course she gave our dogs the love they needed when we were away!

Rachel was amazing with our dog Remy! We were gone for a week and she took excellent care of him. I would recommend her 100%. She was dependable and caring. This is the first time we’ve returned and Temy didn’t seem mad at us for leaving him ?

Rachel was great. She took care of our dog Shamus and watched our house for 11 days. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Rachel kept us up to date on how things were going. When we go away again if she is available we would not hesitate to use Rachel.

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's personal needs, health issues and behaviors. It would be great to be provided an Emergency Contact List including your veterinarian. I would also love to know what are your dog's likes or dislikes. Favorable toys and treats. How does your dog prefer to exercise or where is his/her spot on the couch/dog bed. If you select me to walk your dog please let me know if there are any behaviours I should be aware of (chasing cars, animals, or acorns) or unfriendly dogs in the neighborhood. Thank you so much

A typical day

I have beautiful trails right behind my house in north Madison Connecticut. I live at the end of a cul de sac on a very private, quiet street. It is very nice walk up and down and easy to walk to a nearby fields and more fun trails if your pup likes a real hike! I also love to take a drive down to the parks and beaches that are always so beautiful and fun to explore year round with a four legged friend by your side.
