Love to play, snuggle, and nurture!

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner and caregiver my entire life, and have provided pet care services for friends and strangers alike for more than 15 years. I am a full-time mental health professional and can translate those skills to provide a safe, nurturing space for even difficult pets with trauma histories and anxieties. My style is structured and firm with any rules you may have for your pets (especially if you are still in training mode with puppies or new dogs), but with tons of love, support, and nurture to foster healthy attachment and a sense of safety. In addition to dogs, I have experience with and love for many different types of pets, including cats, turtles, hedgehogs, and more! My full-time job is fairly flexible, so I am happy to coordinate with your schedule and your pet's needs as much as possible. Feel free to ask any other questions you may have! I primarily provide dog walking and drop in services at this time, but am willing to consider occasional house sitting and dog boarding as well.

Rachel and Daisy really hit it off, and I am thrilled. Rachel asked all the right questions, and put me at ease immediately. Photos throughout our stay showed that Miss D was enjoying her time, and we loved getting daily updates on activity, walks etc. Honestly, Daisy has NEVER been so relaxed coming home after a boarding. She was totally chill, happy to see us, but not her usual "OMG you're back, get me out of here" freakout - so, yeah, we knew she was well looked after. We look forward to Rachel watching her again. It was PERFECT.

Rachel is amazing! I am a new pet owner and my little guy was on meds and having some problems with vomiting. She administered his meds and help him when he was sick. I got daily pics and updates which put me at ease. She is the best and I will be using her services again very soon!

Rachel is great! So friendly and patient. She really does love dogs and we felt so comfortable leaving ours with her. She messaged us frequently with pictures and updates. Highly recommend

Rachel was fantastic! She kept us updated every day and was so kind with our pup. We will definitely be calling Rachel next time we are out of town.
