Pet Owner, Love Walking!

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 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.

Rachel was so wonderful!! She sent me frequent updates and pictures of Finn as they spent the day together. Rachel took Finn for a walk and played with him outside. I will definitely hook Rachel again! Finn loved her!

Rachel was the absolute best with our dog. I was so worried to leave her during our destination wedding week and can honestly say I was a nervous wreck. All close family and friends were with us and I had never left my dog with anyone else. During our meet and greet I loved the way Rachel interacted and spoke with Loki. I knew she was a dog person. I could tell Loki liked her too so I made the choice to book! During the stay, Rachel stayed at our home and took excellent care of Loki. She followed all of our directions and kept her on a normal routine. She sent us daily updates and photos. It was my first time using Rover and I can honestly say I’m so happy I chose Rachel! I really thought my wedding week was going to be a wreck with me thinking non stop about leaving my dog, but Rachel made it so easy to enjoy myself and have the week I deserved. She treated our dog like she was her own. I am so grateful! I highly recommend Rachel.

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.
