Friendly animal lover

Pet care experience

I have owned many pets ranging from cats to dogs to chinchillas. The dog breeds that I've owned and cared for include Jack Russell Terriers, Australian Shepherds, Pit Bulls, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and more. I currently am the proud owner of a cat named Calypso. I am available to walk, groom, play with, and provide all around care for your pets. I am happy to walk the dogs as frequently as needed for higher energy pets who may not have the convenience of a yard. I can administer food based on a strict regimine or relaxed style based on the dog and requirements of the breed. I am currently a student studying Mechanical Engineering at VCU. I love animals and miss having dogs around due to landlord restrictions. I am happy to provide top-notch care and affection to your pets!

I am so thankful for Rachel! I was really hesitant of allowing someone else to walk my dog but Rachel did not act bothered at all with all the questions I asked her. She sent me pictures of my cutie while she walked him and I could tell my Brody was as happy as he could be. I booked her a day before I needed the walk and she responded quickly and did everything I asked her to do. I definitely plan on asking her to walk my baby boy again and it’s so nice to have that peace of mind that she was willing to ease my fear and answer every question I asked her!

Rachel was outstanding, she took great care of my pup while I was out of town. She was not a clock watcher and frequently walked my dog for longer than the 30 minute time period (multiple times walked him almost an hour or more). Definitely found my go to pet sitter, book with confidence!

A typical day

I am a friendly animal lover. I do not believe in the beating or hitting of animals. I would not do such things to my own pets and could not do them to yours. That aside, I'd be very happy to take the dog on walks outside of the regular neighborhood. I have a car and would be happy to take fido to Texas Beach, Belle Isle, Maymont, Byrd Park, etc. I have my schedule set in a way so that I'd be able to be with your dog for the majority of the day. At maximum, the greatest time I would have to be away is a 3 hour window on Friday and Saturday nights.
