Highlights
Pet care experience
Local biologist here to help!
I'm experienced caring for and handling a wide variety of pets and am currently a wildlife biologist located in the Petaluma area. I am an animal person through and through! I understand how hectic life can get and as I don't have any walkable companions of my own, I'm glad to lend a hand whenever you need the help!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if it were my own and I treat other's property with respect. My priority is to make sure your pets are safe, secure, well maintained, and most importantly, happy!
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is great with our dog. She demonstrates patience with my very active little guy. Rachel is friendly and a good communicator. I appreciate that she was able to accommodate a drop-in/walk visit on relatively short notice. I highly recommend Rachel.
We’re so grateful we found Rachel to drop in on our sweet little Syrah. She was awesome and let him out for potty breaks while we attended a wedding during the day! Loved all the photos and can’t wait to book with Rachel again. Thank you!
Great service and my pooch lives her
Rachel is excellent. She communicates and understands dogs; she is very knowledgeable and professional, and obviously cares very much about taking care of all animals. I highly recommend her.
Rachel is great! Super friendly and responsible. My dog loves her!
Rachel is very flexible and gives Mopsy a good workout!

Schedule
I have a variable hourly schedule that changes seasonally but I am generally home by 3 pm. I can assist with walking in evenings or weekends.

- The most important information to know about a dog is their interest in social interaction and level of confidence. This determines what activity we would take part in, whether they need to get energy out at a dog park socializing with many other dogs, or whether a quiet walk down a trail or walking through town to meet more people is most appropriate. The experience is entirely for the dog's benefit so I would only bring them where they are most comfortable.
