Animal loving teacher

Pet care experience

Starting in my teens I would watch church members pets and even chickens and goats. In my teens I would I house sit and pet sit for families in the summer and I continued this during my summers break in college. I've worked with cats and dogs, and even dogs of many sizes. From a Frenchie to a st. Bernard. I'm also a full time teacher looking to stay busy and active in the summer doing what I love, being around animals. I currently own a 6 year old tabby we got from a tail to be told and I hope to get a second cat and a dog now that I'm done with grad school.

Rachel did an amazing job! She took multiple pictures, and kept me informed of a medical issue.

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my pet rabbits and quail! She was very friendly and a pleasure to talk to! We will be contacting Rachel the next time we need a pet sitter.

We adopted Maverick and Winston just a little over a year ago. They experience some anxiety when left alone for extended periods of time. Someone told us about Rover and we asked Rachel to do a drop-in visit. She is so sweet. Maverick and Winston took to her immediately. We were notified when she arrived and she sent us pictures of their playtime. We would definitely book with Rachel again.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

The more info about your fur babies the better. Are they nervous around other animals/dogs, do they get nervous around strangers or certain genders. Maybe your dog has a specific game, favorite treat, or spot they loved to scratch so I can win them over. Just let me know what you think is important about your pet's personality and likes and dislikes.

A typical day

Me.and your fur babies can walk around the neighbor hood, play some fetch, or tug-o-war, or any other special games your dog likes to play. If willing, we can go to places like mcduff park and the new spotsylvania dog parks or walk on one of the rail to trails or the many of our scenic battlefield trails.
