Your Pets New Favorite Outing!
Pet care experience
Over 9 years of raising and training my two dogs and as a volunteer at a shelter, I have confidence with all types of pups. I have 2 pet pups at home. One dog is an 8 year old pure bred black lab and the other is a year old Lab/Flat Coat Retriever Mix. For any outings, walks, etc. we will do a full check of paws, coats, etc. after to keep everyone safe. Before any care, we will go over all the commands and tidbits I need to know about your pup so we can ensure consistency in their training and habits. Routine rules with pups and I am more than happy to do my best to accommodate. For walking and check ins, we will schedule a very quick meet & greet if possible. This allows your pup to sniff me and give approval :) At this time we will go over your pets normal habits, needs, commands and any information that can be helpful (i.e. reactive on leash, etc.) so I can accommodate. Need a few hours while hiking or a weekend away.....I can ensure that a stop in with me will leave them resting well while you are away. As someone who traveled to the MWV a lot before moving here; having someone trustworthy and reliable is all too important when you want to be out adventuring or enjoying the sights without worrying whether your pup is home alone, bored or stuck in a crate. Giving them a quick pop in for a walk or a romp with me can rest all your worries to enjoy your day while still snuggling up with your favorite furry at the end of the day :)
Reviews
Rachel is great with the dogs she is very good at getting them tired. We have three golden retreiver and she feels comfortable taking them for a walk all together. I completely trust her with my pups and love it when she's available to watch them.
Rachel was awesome! So great with our cats. Would definitely book again.
Dogs seemed happy and tired. Rachel was very accommodating last minute. Would use her again!
Rachel was great! She met our pup last minute to accommodate our plans. Not only did she exceed our expectations but our pup loved her. The pictures speak for themselves. We will definitely use and recommend her again!

Safety, trust & environment
When coming to your home, I will ensure to cover all the necessary needs to ensure that your pup has consistency between its owners and me. I will ensure safety, both of your property and your pet.
Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, special diets, experiences that make them anxious, behavioral triggers or any other personality traits that would be good to know. For example, does your dog bark at cars, other dogs, high prey drive (chasing critters), etc. I also like to know any basic commands to stay consistent with their training, so any hand signals and vocal commands are great tools for me as a caregiver.
A typical day
Happy to take the lead on how the pup is feeling. Sometimes they just want a short stroll, sometimes they want to take it up a notch so I'm happy to jog with them or play with toys. We will try a variety of things to make sure they get their wiggles out :)
