Experienced and Caring Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of all kinds of dogs, puppies and seniors and everything in between, since I was 12. I have a love for animals and enjoying caring for them on behalf of neighbors, family, and friends. The best part of my day consists of time spent on walks, cuddles, and playtime!

Rachel was so great. She dropped in with our puppies twice on a busy Thanksgiving day and made sure they got plenty of love and attention.

Rachel was outstanding! Very polite and professional! She was on time and gave me thorough updates on my two elderly doxies while I was away. I will definitely rebook her!

Rachel was absolutely amazing. She did a great job. First day my shyest dog was in her lap. She was incredibly flexible with a shifting schedule. Sent updates and pictures with each visit. She’s spoiled me for other sitters. Great first experience with Rover!

Rachel was great. She was extremely flexible and we were able to book her at short notice. She was very good with communication and sent us a message and picture of the dogs daily activities, in which each pup had a big smile. We were nervous they would want to go home with Rachel once we returned :) she treated them so well. Thank you Rachel.

Safety, trust & environment

I am able to deal with medication and special circumstances for senior dogs. Because every dog has different needs, I focus on customizing care to provide the best care possible for both excitable high-energy dogs to cuddly nap-loving dogs.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s likes and dislikes, habits, general demeanor, age, size, special needs/circumstances, and favorite activities (walks, fetch, tug of war, etc.)!

A typical day

For walks, I love to get your dog out of the house for some fresh air and we will take it at their pace, whether that is a leisurely stroll or a jog. And for visits, I make sure to provide quality play time and time for pets and snuggles!
