Best Pet Handler You Will Find! ☺️

Because Your Pet Deserves More Than “Just” A Handler ✨ When you can’t be there, I make sure your pet’s day is filled with love, structure, and tail-wagging joy. With 15+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I blend professional know-how with a genuine passion for animals. As a Dallas animal rescue volunteer and aspiring canine behavior specialist, I’m skilled in reading body language, introducing dogs safely, and creating positive social experiences. I offer structured care - consistent feeding times, regular walks, and enrichment activities - paired with safe socialization and plenty of fun. From engaging play sessions and training to calming “sniffari” walks, I keep pets happy, confident, and comfortable. ✨ Why I’m the right choice for your pet(s): • 15+ years hands-on pet care experience • Safe, positive dog socialization tailored to each personality • Structured schedules to keep pets secure & stress-free • Fun, enriching activities for mental & physical well-being • Confident handling of all breeds & temperaments • 10% of every booking donated to a local shelter ❤️

Drop-In Visits • Jul 12, 2026

Rachel did now show up, do not book her! We scheduled a meet & greet (her time choice) she did not show up and we did not hear from her until that evening, claiming there was an emergency but she would still be available for both drop in visits over the following days. She did not show up for either drop in visit, did not answer any messages, calls went to voicemail. We had to contact Rover for a refund and find a new sitter for our pup who hadn’t been outside for SEVERAL hours all while out of state. DO NOT BOOK if you care about the wellness of your pet!

Rachel is amazing!! I felt so at ease with her while I was gone knowing that my fur babies were in great hands! She went above and beyond for my girls, and was so quick in communication with me throughout my time away. I will definitely be using her again!

Pets

A typical day

Short/long walks and runs, fetch, play time, social time with other balanced dogs, and incorporate a structured environment- leash work, place work, impulse control, recall and so much more. Of course, there’s always going to be some belly rubs!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Rachel can host up to 5 pets per night
Not that any of this makes a difference, I am willing to watch any type of dog with any type of personality. I would like to know if your animal is reactive to other people or dogs, if they are a master of escape, and any unique thing about them!
