Caring for a pitbull and loving it
Pet care experience
I make sure dogs are well fed and get enough exercise. I enjoy playing with dogs and give them treats for good behavior. I've had three dogs for over ten years and come from a dog loving family. I currently have a pitbull and love him like he's a true member of the family. I follow instructions to the letter, keep close eye on pets when I'm watching them, and make sure they have enough water in their bowls. I clean up after them and make sure the house is cleaner than when I first arrive. I'm extra cautious when taking dogs on walks and I make sure they're properly leashed before taking them out. I do enjoy being around animals and treating them like people.
Reviews
Attentive, communicative, conscientious, goes above and beyond, and possibly one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had watch my kids.
Rachel was very patient with my shy puppy. She managed to get her out for potty break and for some playtime. She was great.
We had a wonderful experience with Rachel! She cared for our two “little” rascals for 9 days. It was nice to know that our pets and our home were in such good hands while we were gone. We looked forward to Rachel’s txt and photo updates during our travel and returned home to a tidy house and two happy pups!
Another great experience!

Safety, trust & environment
I would make sure to follow any rules a client would have about their pet and their own home, being very sure to showcase trust to the client and their pet. I do request that I meet with new clients and their pets before bookings to build rapport and trust between us. If we’re unable to meet beforehand, I spend time with the pet(s) on the first day of a booking in order to build a trusting relationship and learn more about their temperament & energy.
Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if a dog has any problems, health wise, temperament, etc., If they need to take any medicine and when, and what I can and can't give them as food or treats.
A typical day
If a park is nearby, I would bring pets there for exercise if their owners approve. I would play fetch or tug of war with dogs to keep them entertained and give them long walks on good days to tire them out and plenty of time to empty their tanks.
