Pet care experience

I have been a dog/cat owner since I was 17, and before then our family always had dogs in the family. Before moving to Santa Cruz I lived with my partner and our two large adopted pit bull mixes. I miss them a lot but I’m excited to fill that void by pet sitting for you :-)

Rachel is the most enthusiastic, warm, and loving dog mom I have met. She is very attentive to the needs and various moods that dogs have throughout the day and really cares about them. She also intuitively knows how to discourage bad behavior without resorting to punishment. Rachel is a great choice to care for your pet!

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Just if they cannot be around other dogs, cats, or people so I know what to look out for on walks. I would also need info on their feeding schedules and any medications.

A typical day

If there is a yard we can spend time playing with toys. If no yard, we can explore the area together since I am still pretty new to town!
