Providing love & fun!

Pet care experience

I can provide efficient walks, regulated exercise and playfulnesss! And don't forget some snuggles! Growing up, our family dog Gatsby is the best thing that has happened to our family. We've had him for the past 13 years. I gave my dog walks, let him run around, played with him, gave him belly rubs, brushed him and washed him and gave him meals. I've cared for him while my parents were working and my sister was at school. My sister also recently got a puppy in July, and I've helped her take care of the puppy full time, and fully train and house train him. I can do the same for your dog, and hope we certainly became best friends. I know I'd be a great sitter because I will care for your dog, and give it the best day and stay that he or she will have! I will make sure to walk on sidewalks. I will make sure that the dog won't eat anything on the ground and that it takes all of its medications as well. I'll make sure it gets just enough exercise and that her or she will do their business. I'm a young professional and will take care of your dog while you're at work or out of town. Dogs make everyone happy because of their endless energy, smiles, and companionship.

Rachel is a responsible and loving dog sitter and walker! She will treat your dog like it's her own! She has a lot of experience caring for and watching dogs and I cannot recommend her enough! I can also guarantee she will provide you with lots of updates and cute photos of your pup :)

Rachel is amazing with my dog! My dog is feisty and dan be quite the puller but Rachel was patient and took excellent care of Pepper. She even made sure Pepper's water bowl was full everyday that she came. Thanks for everything!!

Rachel S. is great! My husband and I will definitely be asking her to walk our sweet boy again soon. She's super responsive, reliable and trustworthy. She made the whole process of getting our keys really easy and was great about getting our guy Ted together and out for a walk. She also texted me to give me an update after. We highly recommend her.

Availability

I am fully available all day for dog walking and sitting. My apartment building does not allow dogs so I can’t do dog boarding but happy to do overnight dog sitting after spending some time getting to know your pup. I will Ask what time the dog usually needs a walk otherwise I can tell when the dog needs to go out. And I will make sure cuddle time is a must!!
