A dog a day keeps the doctor away!

Pet care experience

I have taken care of my family's dogs since early in my childhood, as well as walking and feeding neighborhood dogs. I volunteered as a dog walker for the local Humane Society all throughout high school and worked with a huge variety of dogs. In college, I volunteered as a pet sitter for service dogs in training. In this role I was responsible for care and training of dogs with very specific training needs. Since then, I have loved watching friends' pets as much as possible and I cant wait to meet your furry friends!

We are trying a dog walker! Rachel has been accommodating and great communicator through this first week. I know my pups need some time to adjust to the change. Rachel has been patient with us all!

Rachel was amazing. Super sweet, attentive, and responsive every step of the way. Made us feel great leaving our pups with someone so dependable for the weekend. I highly recommend Rachel for your dog/house sitting needs.

It was a pleasure having Rae looking after our cavapoo, Charlie. She was kind, courteous and took the time to get to know both him and us before we went away. Whilst she was house sitting, she send regular updates, photos, etc. It was clear he was being well cared for. She went above and beyond in making the house tidy for our return. We plan to use her regularly going forward and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.
