Active, Loving, Experienced

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Rachel. It's nice to virtually meet you! My love for dogs is exponential and I enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. I am very experienced and have been in the dog sitting business for 9 years now. When your pup stays with me, I provide care as if they were my own dog. I have had experience with a wide range of breeds, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I have owned Border Collies, German Shepherds, and Yorkies myself. My clients would tell you that I am extremely responsible, active, professional, loving and very clean. Additionally, I always make sure to spend quality time getting to know both you and your fur baby prior to our booking, so that your pup's stay runs as smoothly as possible. A little bit about me: I used to be a Varsity volleyball player, and I love to hike, ski, bike and run. Therefore, I can ensure active care for your pup! I am a Registered Physiotherapist and when I am not at work I love to spend my free time with dogs!

I can't say enough about our experience with Rachel. She stayed in our home for a week and when we returned you wouldn't have known anyone had been there. She took amazing care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats, plants, lawn and home. Rachel sent us fun pics of our pets daily and kept in good contact. I'm sure our pets would love to have Rachel stay again...I know we would!! Thank you Rachel!

Rachel is The Best! She took great care of our two poms and himi kitty. Upon our return, they barely new we were away. Rachel sent updates with photos of the fuzzy children almost every day. Rachel is kind, respectful and thoughtful. She is genuinely a nice person. I highly recommend Rachel to petsit or housesit/petsit. She is very competent and trustworthy. Your pet(s) will love her, and you will feel at-ease knowing your dear furry children are in great hands.❤️?

Rachel is amazing! My dogs absolutely loved her. I loved that she kept them active with their walks and she sent me pictures of her time with them. She was great at giving my one dog his medicine without issues. Will for sure be re-booking with her.

We had a meet & greet appointment with Rachel and felt comfortable leaving our two pups in her care at our house. Rachel was punctual and provided updates with photos of our dogs while we were away. We will definitely book Rachel again.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I accept all breeds and ages of dogs! I provide the same quality of care and love no matter what type of breed or how old your pup is. I love to take care of puppies and can be available to make sure they get lots of attention. Please let me know how much physical activity your dog typically gets during a day and how much they can handle. I will adjust my walking frequency and intensity based upon this. I look forward to meeting you and your puppy-please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

A typical day

As a very active person I love providing active care! I take dogs on at least one walk a day or to the dog park. I love to play fetch, and will always provide LOTS of cuddles. I have taken courses in clicker training and I have trained my own dogs using a clicker. If there is anything that you would like me to teach your dog (leash manners, tricks, fetch etc) while they stay with me please let me know. I would be happy to spend some time each day developing some new skills with your pup. I have experience administering different types medication to older dogs and I am comfortable doing so if it is required. I also have experience with disabled dogs and am comfortable with various skills.
