Pet care experience

Treating your pets like my own

I have taken care of all sizes and breeds of dogs my entire life, cats as well. I have worked with puppies as young as 8 weeks old all the way up to the most elderly of dogs at 16 years old. I have been trusted by friends neighbors and family to do drop in visits and walks for their pets to help them get exercise and not be lonely during those busy travel/work weeks. I also have experience working with dogs with unknown backgrounds. I’m familiar with techniques on how to familiarize my self with dogs that can be cautious around new people. I’ve handled pets who aren’t the biggest fans of people, and have learned how to go at the pets pace.

Safety, trust & environment

My family uses underground fences to corral our herd of dogs so I am familiar with procedures relating to those kind of fences. I have also worked with dogs with all kinds of hair from husky to doodles so if bathing is something you need (just in case your doggo rolls in something icky).

Rachel was great! Good communication as this was my first time using the app. She sent pictures of Emma and gave an update, and from the pictures she had sent, Emma really enjoyed her time with Rachel!

I would highly recommend Rachel! I felt very at easy allowing her in my home and taking care of my pets. She was very kind and loving to my two cats while I was away on vacation. She communicated well when there was a need and left my home just the way I left it!

Rachel was amazing! Our dog Lexi took to her very well and we felt completely comfortable with the level of care. Rachel was dependable and sent great updates from every visit. We will certainly be requesting her again in the future!!

Rachel was great! She was able to help us out last minute and made us feel very comfortable with her funny detailed notes on how our dogs were! We look forward to reaching out to her when we need another sitter!

Please let me know of any behaviors such as reactivity to people or dogs and any other issues that may occur while I am with them so I can best serve your doggo.
