Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if there’s any reactivity so I can play more one on one with them. Also, what are their favorite activities so I can incorporate them!

A typical day

I love to do some training for mental training and take them to my local dog park for socialization! If it’s a weekend day, mission bay is a great walking area and I can accommodate them in my car if you are open to it!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of both dogs and cats for 3 years. I have experience with large dogs, and even have a local dog park that I like to frequent to keep ours social. I have experience with potty and leash training. I also can provide many toys and playdates with other dogs, including my own, if needed.

Rachel is fantastic! She watched my dog while I was out of town and did a great job. When I got back, Jinx immediately ran to greet me, but then made his way back to her and nudged her hand so she could pet him. Just seeing that made my day, and I knew he was in great hands while I was away. She’s reliable, friendly, easygoing, and clearly loves animals. Highly recommend!

If you are looking for a person to care for your pets as if they are family (the way we all do), then Rachel is your person. She is trustworthy, ethical and adores animals. I would absolutely trust her with my beloved pets while I’m away. I know that she is a loving, thoughtful and kind pet owner and would treat your pets the same way she does ours. On top of that, she conducts herself in a professional and responsible manner. Do not hesitate to contact her.

We absolutely love Rachel and couldn’t imagine leaving our pets with anyone else! She’s been amazing with our two senior dogs—Girl, our 13-year-old Yellow Lab with limited mobility, and Gemma, our 11-year-old Bichon Frise who randomly bursts into wild zoomies that always make us laugh. Girl moves a little slower these days, but she’s still happy and playful, and Rachel is so gentle and patient with her. She helps Girl get around safely, gives her all the love and attention she needs, and also handles her daily medication with total care. Knowing Rachel can manage that gives us real peace of mind. Gemma is full of personality and energy when she wants to be, and Rachel totally gets her quirks and keeps her happy and engaged. She also takes great care of our two cats—Taks, a chatty 2-year-old Maine Coon who we sometimes call “Sir Talks-A-Lot” for a reason, and Brandy, our 1-year-old Ragdoll who loves to play fetch, get belly rubs, and flop all over you. They don’t need quite as much hands-on care as the dogs, but they’re both super social and picky about who they like. Luckily, they bonded with Rachel right away. We get great updates, fun photos, and it’s clear she really pays attention to their personalities. She treats all four of them like they’re her own, which means everything to us. Whether it’s helping Girl get up comfortably, chasing Brandy’s favorite toy, or chatting with Taks while he follows her around, Rachel goes above and beyond. Rachel is reliable, kind, and truly treats our pets like family. We feel so lucky to have found her!

Rachel did an excellent job caring for my pup on multiple occasions. She always came back happy and I loved the photo updates from Rachel when she had her for more than one day.
