Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 chihuahuas: Manny (12), and Dolly Pea Parton (1.5 years), and Calvin Klein (5) a dachshund-lab mix. My “kids” are my world and very well loved and spoilt! I spend most of my time, when I am not working; taking them on walks, playing with my puppy, whilst making sure my “grouchy- old man” is happy as well. 🐶 I previously had a senior dog, Louie, who has crossed the rainbow bridge; he was blind & deaf, therefore I have experience with dogs that need a little extra attention & love.💜

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special needs or concerns that your pet has, so that I can be best prepared to care for them. Also, let me know if they are scared of loud noises, so that I can be extra careful when coming in and out of the house.

A typical day

I will do my best to make your pups as happy as I can! I will happily play with them, take them on adventures, take them on a long walk at the park, plus I love giving bubble baths for them.

Can I be FURiends with your pets?

Pet care experience

Hi *waves*! My name is Rachel and I look forward to being your dog’s new bestie! I am a former middle school English teacher 👩🏻‍🏫 and have a special place in my heart for our fur kiddos. I currently am in grad school full time— with a very flexible schedule and am willing to work around what your pups needs are. As a former teacher I have experience with problem solving, patience, connecting with others and developing rapport with children- which extends to fur-kiddo(s)! I also have experience in taking care of special needs pets because I, myself had a very very special pup named Louie (age 17); I know the demands that may come with one and I will proudly treat your fur pets the same as I do mine. I will make a promise to you that no matter what, I will treat your fur kid(s) with the same love, care and attention as I do my own. I will love them as they are my own.

Rachel was real sweet and relaxed with all household animals. Her and her partner were great for my dog while we were away from home (he runs anxious when left alone and this was his first time without his sister.) Rachel was easy to meet & greet with and fantastic at communicating everything during her sittings!
