Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I always like to know what medications your dogs are on and if they have any special diets. I also like to know if they’re allowed on furniture and if they are treated for ticks and fleas.

A typical day

I can take your dogs for walks, to parks, play fetch etc. Any instructions you leave with me will help me to know what we can do!

Pet Owner, Love Walking!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Rachel! I am a responsible, pet loving grad student with availability to watch over and walk your dog(s). I’ve had multiple dogs of my own, and I have cared for pets all my life. I am currently available for house sitting, short visits, walks, or to drop by feeding in the general area. I am happy to play fetch, go to the park, and spend time with your dog(s) so they are well taken care of while you’re away! I have experience with dogs from large to small and from young puppy age to elder doggos! I also have experience administering medication to dogs. If you have any questions or requests please reach out, I look forward to meeting your pets! I am also willing to offer discounts on extended stays.

Rachel did great with Buddy who is high energy, anxious and vocal when he first meets someone. He was well-exercised and mellow after his walk. Communication was great too.

Rachel did a great job with our two Frenchies! She sent lots of updates and photos and kept us in the loop

Rachel was absolutely amazing as our pet sitter. She stayed at our home with the dogs for two nights and two & a half days. We never had to worry about them, it was such a relief. Our dog has medical needs and she handled everything perfectly plus her communication was excellent. We received updates and photos which were much appreciated. Rachel not only took great care of our pups but our home too- it was almost like she wasn't there, everything was nice and tidy. We loved Rachel and would 100% have her back again.

Rachel was great with our dogs over the weekend. She stayed at our house overnight, took the dogs on two walks a day, fed them and played with them in the yard. She communicated very well and made it very easy for me to enjoy my trip and not worry about the dogs. We will be booking her again.
