Experienced and reliable!
Pet care experience
I adore dogs (alas can't have any in my apartment--so let me hang out with yours!). I specialize in lavishing attention and tenderness on senior dogs and have a special place in my heart for Beagles and German Shepherds (but love all dogs). I am experienced in working with dogs with a mischievous streak, as well as reactive dogs. I do work as a hospital social worker M-F from 8-4:30 PM but am happy to drop everything on evenings and weekends and make your dog my top priority. I would love to take your dogs on long walks around your neighborhood, to the dog park, or just hang out in the back yard if that's more your dog's thing. I am also open to sending you frequent updates while you are out of town if that is your thing (or totally not doing that if it's not!).
Reviews
We booked Rachel for a week as our first Rover housesitting experience, and she was great. She was easy to communicate with, she sent us updates and photos about our pup, and our house was super clean and tidy when we arrived home. Our pup can sometimes be a handful outdoors when she tries to enthusiastically greet every person she sees, but Rachel did a great job handling her. I would definitely book with Rachel again.
Rachel was great! We felt totally comfortable leaving our leash-reactive, senior dog with Rachel and it seemed like Olive had a great time too :) We hope to see you again!
Rachel is a responsible, communicative and enthusiastic pet caregiver - she supported our dog (and Guinea pig and fish!) and kept an eye on things while we were away. She is a great house guest, too. Rachel regularly shared photos of our pets and took care of a few hiccups that occurred while we were away - we would gladly hire her again.
If you have a chance to use Rachel as your sitter, you will not be disappointed. It's hard to leave your baby behind, but we all have to go out of town at some point. Rachel took care of my elderly husky, and from the initial meet & greet I knew that she would be in good hands. My pup can be a bit high maintenance, but Rachel took care of it all without a hitch. Thanks Rachel, feeling better about the next trip now that I can book you!

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet
It's helpful to know a dog's general routine and quirks. I love Beagles and German Shepherds, but really have never met a dog I do not like.
A typical day
I would love to take your dog to one of Seattle's many beautiful parks, especially Magnuson Park off-leash area, which is my idea of heaven.
