equine student with pet passion

Pet care experience

I’m studying equine science with a particular interest in holistic health care, and I’ve had a huge heart for animals since I was little. I’ve been riding horses for 13 years and prefer spending all my time at the barn. That being said, horse people bring their pets everywhere, so I’m constantly surrounded by my animals and others’ wherever I go. I leased and competed with a horse with special medical needs throughout high school, and my family dog is a German Shepherd with numerous skin and stomach sensitivities I am very accustomed to caring for. I have house/farm/pet sat for so many of my peers and trainers and friends over the years that know me through riding and horse showing, so animal care is something I care a lot about and have plenty of experience doing.

Rachel was amazing with my 5 month old puppy. She made time in her schedule to do a meet & greet prior to the evening we needed her in order to make sure our puppy was comfortable with her. She sent frequent updates and photos throughout the night. It’s evident that Rachel truly loves animals. I feel like she took care of our pup as if he was her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely be utilizing her services again!

Rachel was amazing!! You can tell she truly loves animals and cares for your pet as if they are her own! I received several photos and updates throughout the day which made me feel at ease knowing he was content! Ace came home very happy and can not wait until the next time he gets to visit with Rachel again!

Rachel was fantastic with our two. She provided pictures and made us feel comfortable the whole week....something that isn't easy to do! Certainly using her again.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I love all kinds of dogs, and the only things I like to know before caring for a dog is if it has any specific medical needs or behavioral quirks he or she would like me to respect.

A typical day

I love taking long walks around the neighborhood, but I especially love hiking through the woods or a field, so if there is anything like that nearby or the dog is okay with car rides to travel, that is my go-to.
