Full time sitter CPR/behavior study

Pet care experience

I aspire to dedicate my life to animals. I have basic certificates in dog CPR and general first aid for if a dog was choking/drowning. Your dog will always be safe with me! I have taken courses on dog behavior, dog cognition and emotion, animal behavior and welfare, as well as having my prior knowledge throughout the years. I have walked dogs at the shelter as well as through another company. I have worked with high energy dogs as well as dogs with severe anxiety. I also have experience with seniors (cats and dogs), and deaf/blind dogs. I always let a dog get to know me. I watch their body language so that I always know what makes them comfortable, and uncomfortable. If you have the patience to go through my large gallery of cute dog photos you will see some of the dogs that have been in my care at some point or another. You will see I have experience will small to extra large (mainly large) dogs. As well as having handled mutliple dogs at one time. For my house sitting services I follow the daily routine your dog is use to, to the best of my ability. I come and go just like I would at home, and strive to not leave a dog alone for more than 4-6 hours. I follow regular feeding schedules, potty breaks, and give medication when needed. I offer free cuddles and short walks with my house sittings( long walks are subject to an extra charge). I also offer training sessions for puppies and adult dogs. Please send me a message to learn more. A little bit more about myself and my pets, I have cats and a young well trained Alaskan Malamute named Mako.

Safety, trust & environment

I am very vigilant when caring for your pets! I will not leave things in their reach, and always follow instructions/rules that they have. I am cpr/first aid certified, and insured should there be an emergency. I always carry emergency supplies, and get all emergency information from you before booking.

Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dogs temperament and habits. Whether it is a shy or hyper active dog. Anything they do on walks like whether they will try to chase squirrels or pull alot. Whether they are dog friendly or dog selective. Tell me what you know about your dog so I can be prepared and know exactly how to handle them. I love all breeds! Big dogs don't scare me in fact I love them, but if they are hard to handle on leash I can help with training if you'd like. I would love to know what your dog likes best whether that be belly scratches, a tennis ball, cuddles, etc.

A typical day

For dog walks I love to change up our destination and route so they have a new experience all the time and new things to explore, and experience the world around them. Ask me about my 2 hour+ training outings! In which I take the dog somewhere new to work on specific training goals. These outings can also be for a hiking adventure instead.
