I’m currently home from college for the summer and I have a lot of free time. I have a few short trips that are blocked out on my calendar and should be available otherwise.

About Rachel S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When walking dogs I try to always be aware of my surroundings and be on the lookout for cars, other dogs, or wild animals. My own dog can be a bit sneaky and is a big chewer so I know how important it is to be vigilant when watching dogs. I’ve also had a reactive dog in the past so I’m confident in my abilities to distract and remove a dog from a hostile situation. I’m always interested in learning more about proper pet care and have spent time researching pet safe foods and activities for my own pets. My goal is always to give a pet the best care possible.
Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet
I plan on bringing dog treats with me so please let me know if your pet has any allergies or if you would prefer to provide your own treats. Additionally, I would love to know if your pet has any specific fears or things they don’t like (water, thunder, other dogs). Feel free to share any other information about your pets routine that may be important.
A typical day
I love to take my dog on trails and know a lot of great nearby parks/preserves. We also regularly go on shorter walks just around the neighborhood. I also love just running around in the yard with a dog’s favorite toy.

Animal lover with lots of free time
Pet care experience
I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life and I’ve always loved animals. I’ve been taking care of my own pets- walking, feeding, bathing, training, etc- for as long as I can remember. More recently I’ve taken care of friends pets while their owners are away- including dogs, cats, and a bunny. In these instances I was responsible for checking in on the pets a few times a day to feed them, let them outside, refill water, and give them lots of love and attention. I have also volunteered to dog walk at a few local shelters.
Reviews
Rachel was available last minute for us- worked out great! Dogs were happy and safe in her care. She sent pictures while we were out of town and let us know everything was going smoothly. Highly recommend her!!!
Rachel was very reliable and it was clear she really cared for our dog, Lady! We will definitely use Rachel again!!
Rachel was great for our pets!!! She kept us in the loop and sent pictures while we were away. Everyone looked happy! Highly recommend and will use again.
“Animal loving” and “caring” would be two of my go to descriptors of Rachel. Since childhood, I’ve watched them show kindness and compassion to their own dogs, my animals, and those of our friends. They have a unique ability to really understand the needs of animals and will always exhibit the most gentle energy. I can confidently say that any animal would be in amazing care with Rachel.
