Let me know if your dog has special needs or behaviors that I can account for: How often do they expect treats, how is their leash training (do they pull or react when seeing other people/dogs)?

I love to take dogs for long walks and explore new areas of the neighborhood! If your dog is comfortable I’m also open to dog parks!

Pet care experience

I have always had dogs growing up and I have spent a lot of time caring for them through walks, feedings, baths, and play time. Currently I volunteer at dog shelters walking rescues and am looking to spend more time with pups since I do not have one of my own.

Rachel was amazing! We went out of town for the weekend and were comforted by her care for our fur babies. Will definitely rebook again for our next trip and highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusted pet sitter.

We have had a great experience having Rachel watch our needy and anxious pup, Cora! She is very conscientious, detailed, and responsible. She is a great communicator and sends regular updates (and pics!) while you’re gone. We have come back to a very clean and tidy house and more importantly, a happy and well taken care of pup. We really appreciate how committed Rachel is to taking care of Cora exactly how we’ve instructed. We highly recommend Rachel! Thank you so much.

Rachel was a great pet sitter for my Husky Puppy. She was attentive and responsible. Highly recommended her!

Rachel was great with Georgia. She stopped by before the stay and went over Georgia’s care with me. Georgia isn’t the easiest dog to walk and Rachel took care of her with no issues. She also had to finish her medication for a hurt paw and Georgia’s paw looked great when we returned. She sent a few pictures while we were gone. Georgia seemed very content when we arrived home. I would definitely recommend Rachel and will use her again.
