Pet care experience

Social worker who loves animals!

I am originally from the Duluth/Superior area and moved to St. Paul for graduate school about six years ago. I completed graduate school in clinical social work and now work as a school social worker. Dogs bring me immense joy. I love being around dogs and caring for them. They make my life so much better, and I believe dogs give as much to us as we give to them. I have 10 years of experience caring for puppies and adult dogs, including overnight care, and over 15 years of experience with drop-ins and walks. I promise to take care of your dog and your home as I would my own. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your dog :)

I try to meet each animal with the care, respect, and love that you give them. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible while you are out of town.

Rachel did a wonderful job watching our dog - she was a great communicator and it looked like our dog had a great time! We would definitely have her dog sit again!

Rachel is wonderful! She was attentive to our Labs’ needs and kept them happy and active. She went above and beyond to care for our senior dog, who can be challenging, and even shoveled snow for us while we were away! Our house was pristine when we returned and she updated us every day. 5/5 stars!

I trust Rachel with my dogs more than anyone else. She goes above and beyond to care for them and treats them like her own. She also cares for my home and cleans up well.

Rachel was extremely accommodating as my request was within 5 days of the stay. She communicated fast and was very kind to Maverick. She also adjusted her time easily and made it work perfectly for my schedule. THANK YOU!

Schedule

Pet care is vital to my schedule. I work from 8 am to 4 pm, but it is my highest priority to take care of your baby before and after work. Walks, care, and pets will be taken care of before I leave in the morning, and then I will be home immediately to ensure their care.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Rachel can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I love learning about your dogs' or cats' personalities, their favorite spots, their sleeping habits, eating habits, and favorite treats and toys! Whatever will make them more comfortable while you are away!
