Information Rachel V. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special dietary restrictions or behaviors I should be aware of ahead of time that is helpful to note. If they have any special or preferred activities or treats or things they’re working on, the recommendation is also appreciated. If there’s any medications or health information to be aware of.

A typical day

I love to be both active and peaceful with your pets to make sure they’re comfortable with a new person. I enjoy going on out to parks or on trails to exercise as well as stay in and play with their toys to stimulate their mind. Teaching new tricks is fun to work with and encourage good behaviors in and out of the house. I can provide pet socialization or relaxing 1:1 time in your absence.

Reliable and friendly. Shared photos of my pets while I was on vacation knowing they were taken good care of. I would use Rachel again, hands down.
