Safety, trust & environment

I love building a relationship with your pet based on their needs - Are they shy with strangers and need a gentle approach? I can do that! Are they super friendly and want to play immediately? I can do that, too! I absolutely read their demeanor and adjust so that safety and trust are always priority.

Information Rachel T. would like to know about your pet

Although I’ll be with your pet, you are still in control! Let me know if there are things you don’t want them to do (jump up, bark, get on the couch) and how you normally correct them (no, tug the collar, down). I want to make sure that when I’m with your dog, they are given the same directions and corrections as they get with you!

A typical day

I love being outdoors and try to maximize fresh air time at every visit! We can walk fast, slow, the same route, different places, or find a field and play fetch! I also love to bring pups to the dog park to run free, play with friends, and sniff around at their own pace!

Pet care experience

I have wide experience in caring for deaf, blind, senior, and even amputee dogs! I've always owned 2-3 dogs myself, so I especially love getting to work with doggy siblings, whether they're all giant, big and small, or young and old!

Rachel has been wonderful with my little ones. Glad she has experience with multiple different kinds of dogs. My dogs really enjoyed her company.

Would highly recommend using Rachel! She is always punctual, trustworthy, and communicative. We appreciate her taking the best care of our fur babies while we are away. It gives us peace of mind they are in good hands while we are gone. Thank you!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
