Pet care experience
Hi friends- I'm an animal lover with several years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small animals. I also have over 10 years of experience working with horses and farm animals. From canaries to cows, I've got you covered! I have cared for puppies and senior dogs, and everything in between. I'm happy to customize my services to keep your dog happy. I enjoy hiking, running, and going for walks with my dog. I have a springer spaniel mix, so I'm used to working with active, high-energy breeds. I've worked on several farms caring for horses, cows, goats, sheep, donkeys, and even exotic animals. I can provide grooming and medicinal care to your farm animals as well. I can provide references upon request. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
Reviews
Rachel has stayed at my house many times over the past 3 years and she has always exceeded my expectations. My dogs are high maintenance: Australian Shepard with Cancer; an 18 year old Jack Russell; and an Australian Shepard Puppy. Rachel gave them SO MUCH love and attention. She also had many potty accidents and housetraining to deal with. I was always amazed at how intuitive Rachel is with my dogs: SHE UNDERSTANDS THEM. I always looked forward to her reports about how they reacted to her visits. They love and trust her. I love and trust her, too. Also, Rachel took care of my 2 cats, my horse and pony. Someone who can handle horses as well as dogs, and is mature and very, very responsible is rare. Rachel is very likely the very best person on Rover.
Rachel is an honest, attentive, and caring animal-lover. She loves all of earth's creatures and I would trust her with any pet I own. Rachel's professionalism and serious work ethic make her an ideal caregiver.
For the past couple of years, I have been having Rachel dogsit for my dog, Domino, whenever I go on vacation. Rachel has always been professional, responsible, and I completely trust her in taking care of my baby! Domino just loves her, too, and is so excited when she sees Rachel come by! Highly recommended.
Rachel takes wonderful care of my dog and rabbit. She offers reliable, responsible and knowledgeable care for my pets. I can always count on her to send me pictures of my dog while I’m away and he always looks so happy!!! My dog needs a lot of attention and exercise. Rachel takes my dog to the park and on long walks to keep him occupied. I highly recommend her!!!!
