Flexible Veterinary Technician!🐾
Pet care experience
I've been caring for animals of every kind since I was 10. I have over 25+ years experience working with animals as an animal behavioralist and dog trainer. I am also a Veterinary Technician (LVT). I am very passionate when it comes to dogs, any breed and size! I have been blessed to work and train with many ethologists (behavioralists), service dogs, K-9 units, leader dogs for the blind, and also at Wolf sanctuaries as a veterinary medical specialist throughout the United States. I specialize in pet first aid, senior care, medicating and CPR. Currently taking new clients and am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babie(s). At the present time, I have open availability to do house sitting, dog walking, cat care, obedience training and drop in visits. I will update any changes to my availability often. Pet safety and trust is my number one goal! I would like to first get to know you and your dog or cat through a meet and greet. I would like to assure you peace of mind and for your pet to feel comfortable as well. Will make any accommodations needed! My schedule is flexible, so will be able to cater to your pets needs! I'm also available weekends and holidays for house sitting or drop in visits. (*Additional charges will apply for house sitting & drop in visits during holiday dates*) Even though I have my own spoiled fur baby, please note that he will not be accompanying me to your home. His grandparents are more than happy to watch and spoil him rotten!! :)
Reviews
Rachel was phenomenal! She stayed with our 10-year old Husky and we felt SO reassured the entire time. Not only did she send us pictures and updates, she took our trash to the road, checked our mail, brought our decor inside when it was really windy, and was an absolute trooper when our power went out and our alarms went off! She made sure to find our dog and make her comfortable as she was stressed about the noise. We knew our dog was in such great hands with her! She was very attentive to her needs and small details, and we felt that she took care of her as though she was her own. We cannot wait to have her back!!
Rachel did an amazing job with Scout. She stayed with him for a full week and took great care of him, and our home while we were gone. We are so glad to have found her and will definitely use her again in the future!
Rachel came to stay with our energetic pups while we travelled for the weekend. We trusted her 100% in our home and both dogs absolutely loved her. We will definitely be booking with Rachel in the future for house/dog sitting!
Rachel is amazing! We have a very anxious but sweet 1 yr old pit mix that we thought would never really be able to be around adults other than our immediate family. Rachel really took her time earning our dogs trust and now they are best friends. I highly recommend Rachel 😊

Safety, trust & environment
I will definitely make every effort to accommodate a special needs pet ( separation anxiety, frequent medication administering, insulin, feeding tube, etc.(*Depending on the severity of the situation of your pet, please note that there may be additional charges for them during house sitting*)
Information Rachel T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral issues. Separation anxiety, food or toy aggression, etc. I can and am willing to accommodate any needs whether they are big or small. Special diets, favorite toys or places they like to visit on walks, just let me know! :)
A typical day
Stimulating a dog mentally is just as important as physically. I love to take long walks and engage in play, especially right before meal time. I also enjoy giving deep tissue messages along with a good belly rub!
