Hello hello! I'm Rachel, a longtime dog owner and lifelong dog lover that wants to help out busy people in taking care of their furry family members. My dog was always a puddle of nerves, so I understand how anxious some of our buddies are when meeting a new person. Not to mention how stressful it is to entrust your pup with someone you don't know! I don't currently have my dog with me so my sole attention would be on your pup! I have experience through my own dog as well as volunteering with animal shelters; I'm incredibly patient and am ready to be as communicative as you desire. I understand different dogs have different wants and needs, and I look forward to fulfilling them! I have a lot of experience with Senior dogs and the extra TLC they may require as well. I want you and your dog to feel equally safe that they are in my hands, and that I will treat them like they are my own. This time is stressful enough, don't let add to it :) I'm excited to meet your fur babies! REGARDING COVID-19: I take this matter very seriously, and have been strictly following all of CDC's guidelines. I will be wearing a mask throughout my entire interaction with you and with your pet, and be taking steps to make sure my apartment is clean and sanitized following any visit. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know, I'd be happy to discuss this further! I am permanently work-from-home with very flexible hours which can accommodate multitude of doggy schedules! As long as we communicate ahead of time, I can absolutely commit to whichever time we agree upon with no fear of changing at the last second. Through my volunteer experiences at animal shelters, I know the safest way of walking your dog to ensure they neither choke themselves with the leash or break off and run away. I'll treat your dogs like my own, especially with understanding that accidents and lots of love must always be given. I like to keep my apartment clean, that's not always possible with pups around so I make sure to thoroughly clean between clients :)
