Friendly Neighborhood Dog Nerd

**now offering leash training!** Never met a pup I didn’t love. In 2014 I became the mama of Jet, a 1 year old Siberian Husky with severe trauma, behavioral issues, but a darn cute face. I wanted a better life for my girl so I began studying canine training and rehabilitation. Through dedication and consistency Jet became one of the happiest, healthiest, best behaved dogs I’ve known. It is so fulfilling so watch the peace it brings a dog to have structure, a feeling of safety, and a sense of purpose. Because of Jet, my passion for canine psychology has grown so great over the years. I hope to bring as much joy to your dog’s life as they do to mine.

Rachel great! We really appreciate her willingness to regularly walk two dogs, both of which need to learn a bit more leash etiquette. We highly recommend Rachel for your pet care needs!

Pets

A typical day

I’m a high energy person so I get along great with a high energy pup! We’ll go for a fast paced walk, explore wilderness trails, and play catch on a retractable leash. In the event of rain, I’ve often walked dogs around Lowe’s or Home Depot. If your dog is social and enjoys car rides, the options for adventure are endless!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Unspayed females accepted, neutered males only
Rachel can host up to 4 pets per night
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, fears, or preferences. I’m happy to accommodate. Let me know if there’s anything that makes your dog aggressive, or if they’re a run awayer, a thief, or a Houdini. I’m perfectly willing to work around your pup’s particular ways!
