Dog mom with a flexible schedule!
Pet care experience
I have a passion for all animals! I have grown up around dogs & cats and even had pet frogs as a child! I currently have an adopted puppy and one very personable cat. I've also worked on horse farms for 12 years so I have a variety of animal experience. Additionally, I have raised 3 successful guide dogs for Fidelco and I have loved every moment working with these amazing heroes! Not only is being around animals second nature to me, I have trained puppies from 8 weeks old to become guide dogs for the blind. I know how to work with the unique needs of your loyal friend... After all, no two pups are the same! I also have experience working with a variety of dog breeds from German Shepherds to Border Collies to Coon Hounds. Spending even a few moments with a furry friend energizes me and brings a smile to my face. I am VERY active and love getting outside (rain or shine!) to be with animals. I am available from 6am - 10pm and can book last minute appointments. If you realize you have to work late and you're going to miss your daily walk with your fur baby, I'm your girl! I am centrally located in Manchester, CT and will make myself available regardless of the weather!
Reviews
Rachel was great to work with! Dexter liked her instantly and I felt comfortable leaving both my pooch and house in her hands. I'd work with her again without hesitation!!
Rachel is fantastic, and I came back to a very happy dog! Wouldn’t hesitate to use Rachel again, and will certainly recommend her to others.
Rachel has a big heart for animals. She can basically read their minds and she will go the extra mile to take the best care of my 2 dogs and my cat. I know that if I leave the care of my pets in Rachel's hands, all will be well and my pets will be thrilled!
Awesome with animals, super responsible, and very reliable! Rachel is my go-to any time I need a care taker for my animals. She has lots of different types of experience (dogs, cats, horses, etc.) and I am always at ease knowing my pets are in her care.
About Rachel R.
Communication
Skills
Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences - I love all furry friends! I do like to know if your pup is reactive to other dogs and/or animals so I that I can make sure we choose walking areas appropriately. I do also like to know how your pup does when greeting other people & children and whether or not they have any fears (I.e. - bridges, loud noises, fast moving cars). Knowing these items ahead of time ensures we can create the best possible experience!
A typical day
I love going on hikes and socializing pups! I frequently hike Case Mountain in Manchester, CT and visit Risley Park in Bolton, CT. I've also taken dogs on walks through areas such as Evergreen Walk to help acclimate them to new stimulations.
