Pet care experience
Hello! Thanks for considering me to watch/ walk/ care for / love on your furry family member! I know how nerve wracking it can be leaving your little one with a “stranger.” I promise to provide quality care, snuggles and potty breaks galore! I grew up with dogs, have a rescue poodle myself, and volunteered for several years at the local animal shelter. An avid animal and outdoors lover, your pooch will be in good hands! Happy to answer any questions you may have to put any fears at ease! I am new to the area and am really looking forward to meet fellow animal lovers! I do work during the weekdays but am home relatively early and on most weekends. Note I do live on the 4th floor of an apartment complex. There are stairs and also an elevator. I have over 1,000 square feet in my apartment so there is plenty of room to roam or snuggle on rainy days. On nicer days you’ll find my dog and I walking on the nearby trail. My rescue, is a Standard Poodle named Grace Kelly. She gets along great with other dogs! She loves making new friends and playing! We hope to make friends with you soon! New to rover?

Rachel was great at communicating and took wonderful care of our dog. We rebooked her right away and look forward to working with her again.
Hugo had another great visit with Rachel! He came back tired and happy after his sleepover. He gets to do all the things he loves - watching TV, cuddling, going on walks and playing with Grace. Thanks Rachel, we'll return soon :)
Rachel is a caring, wonderful young lady who treated Hugo like he was her own. We got multiple updates throughout our 4 days away with funny and cute photos of Hugo and Rachel's sweet dog, Grace. She was also very communicative during our exchanges and flexible with pickup/dropoff times. Rachel knew what to do in challenging situations such as when Hugo became aggressive during a walk. She was also super flexible with Hugo being with her at night or on couches etc. Hugo didn't want to leave :) And he's sleeping like a log today thanks to the exercise he's had during the last 4 days :) We will definitely book Rachel again!
Rachel was great with my pup!! She’s usually too nervous to eat when she’s away from home, but she ate literally all of the food I sent her with for the first time ever.
