Flexible and communicative
Pet care experience
Howdy! I moved to Asheville from Texas almost four years ago. One of my favorite things to do with my childhood pup, a sweet Labrador retriever mix named PJ, was go on long runs in the Texas hill country - I loved seeing his inner-puppiness sparked back to life on our adventures outside. I think animals need time in the sunshine just as much as humans do, and dog-walking is a beautiful opportunity to meet both these needs. I will treat your pet with the same love and attention that I strive to exhibit in all the relationships in my life. I am an excellent communicator, and my high levels of care and responsibility ensure that you can trust me with your beloved pet. I cannot wait to meet your pup / kitty! I am working at a local running store in town and have flexibility with hours, so I can maximize the time and effort necessary to give your furry loved ones the best experience. I am starting a Masters in Social Work program in the fall of 2022, and Rover serves as a helpful additional source of income as I save up.
Reviews
Rachel was responsive to all my pet questions and provided timely updates. Would use her again.
Rachel was wonderful! She sent lots of updates. Our pup looked so happy. It was so nice to not worry because we know that our dog is being taken care of. She was so easy to work with and great with communicating with us.
Very communicative, took good care of house and kitties. Will definitely use again in the future.
Rachel is prompt and communicative, and took excellent care of our sweet pup. Would recommend highly!
About Rachel V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Though I am unable to take care of pets in my own home, I am always glad to pet-sit at a client's home. I know that having a foundation of trust is important in a client relationship, which is why I always advocate for having a meet-and-greet prior to agreeing to house-sit. I want to ensure that both the client and the pet(s) feel comfortable and safe! As can be read in my reviews, all of my clients that I've home sat for have had a positive experience. I prioritize cleanliness and respect, and ensure that an open line of communication exists between myself and the client.
Information Rachel V. would like to know about your pet
The pup’s favorite treats and favorite activities, and any special behavior particular to the pup that will help me better understand and interact with him / her!
A typical day
I’m a trail runner, and would love to bring a furry companion along for a fun jog (or walk, for the senior pups) along the beautiful trails at the Arboretum and in Bent Creek, or any other awesome trail that your dog loves!

Availability
I am well-accustomed to feeding animals in the morning and evening (and hanging out with them in-between!) I’ll strive to keep your pet’s feeding / walking routine as close to their normal routine as possible.
