Your dog's best friend!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Rachel! I'm in my final year at Cal Poly studying Molecular Biology. I've had over 12 dogs during my 22 years and have loved every minute of it! I regularly care for my sister's 5 German Shorthair Pointers, so I have a lot of experience with high-energy hunting dogs. I've owned all types of dogs from greyhounds to mastiffs to basset hounds, so I'm qualified to take care of your dog! I love medium to big sized dogs and am happiest when I get to cuddle up with a pup! I try to make all animals feel safe and have owned dogs with separation anxiety before, so I understand the needs of many dogs. I volunteer at Woods Humane Society and focus on socializing shy animals and making them feel comfortable during their vulnerable time at the shelter. I am very active and love going for long hikes or runs all over SLO. Going to the dog beach is also one of my favorite past times! I would love nothing more than to walk your pup, big or small! Thanks for checking out my profile! I can't wait to meet your pup!

Rachel was great! She took great care of our golden retriever and sent updates with pictures! She was very responsive and flexible with dates and times for pick up/drop off! We will definitely use her again in the future if needed!!

Rachel is a very responsible, caring young lady who really understands animals. Our dog is shy and she was great with letting him have his space and being loving with him. She's fabulous!! We'll request her again for sure. Thank you.

Rachel was a wonderful sitter! Zoe came home happy and relaxed and looked like she would have been happy to stay longer with Rachel when we came to pick her up. Rachel keep us updated on Zoe's stay with regular photos and was very flexible about pick-up and drop-off times. We will definitely ask Rachel to sit Zoe again and would strongly recommend her as a sitter.

I'll take your dog on hikes around SLO! I love Johnson Ranch, Bishops, Poly Canyon, and Avila Dog Beach! I played lacrosse in high school, so I like to bring my stick with me to play fetch with your pup. I would take the pup to the Cuesta and Laguna dog park as well!
