Experienced, energetic dog sitter

Pet care experience

For as long as I can remember, my family has had a dog. My sister fostered dogs for many years, and I volunteered for that dog adoption program for my senior service project in high school. I now have a pup of my own but still love play with other pups and take them on walks. I'm excited to talk to you about taking care of your best friend!

Rachel did a great job taking care of my dogs, chickens, and house while I was out of town. I would definitely reach out to her for a dog-sitting job in the future.

Rachel was an incredible sitter! We had her stay in our home for 5 days with my dog Sadie. She had excellent communication and took great care of our dog and our house! I would not hesitate to have her here again, and can’t recommend her enough!

Rachel did a wonderful job and put our mind at ease over the care of our pets from the very first time we met. Thank you for taking such great care of the pets for us while we were away. The pictures of our pets were the bomb.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is a priority for me — both your dog’s and my own. I like to meet beforehand to meet you and your pets. I always leash dogs when walking them outside of a fenced in yard.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I love any kind of dog and do not have breed preferences. However, it would be helpful to know the age and activity level of the dog before watching him or her. I would need to be informed of any medical needs and your dog's food regimen and daily schedule. I would also need to know if your pup gets along with other dogs/humans. If he or she does, then that would open up opportunities to go to the dog park and play some more!

A typical day

I enjoy hiking, playing tug of war, and walks to the park! I'm very active, so you can expect your dogs to be entertained and cared for while I'm looking after them. I'm also content to sit with your couch potato pup and snuggle for hours. I'm happy to take photos to send to you on your travels because I know you're sure to be missing your pup!
