About Rachel V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a park in the back and the beach just a short walk away! The neighborhood is very walkable and there are lots of great routes for walks if your dog is staying with me. My apartment has lots of space for your pet to run around and I have ensured that it is completely pet-safe.

Information Rachel V. would like to know about your pet
Meet and Greets are required before caring for new pets! Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and I am happy to work with you to ensure those needs are met. Some additional questions I may have include: How does your dog react to other dogs/people on walks? Does your pet have any behaviors that I should be aware of? How is your dog when left alone? Are they crate trained?
A typical day
I will take your dog for walks around the neighborhood daily. We will spend lots of time at the park and play tons of games! Feel free to bring their favorite toys, along with any beds or blankets that will make them feel right at home.

Pet care experience
I have been passionate about animals my entire life and have now been working full-time as a professional pet sitter for over three years. My experience started at the age of ten, when I began working at an equestrian facility, training and caring for horses. My love for being around animals led to numerous pet sitting opportunities to stay connected with them in my every-day life. I also volunteered as a dog walker at my local animal shelter, where I gained valuable skills by completing courses in dog training. With this diverse background, I am confident in my ability to provide the highest level of care for your pet.
Reviews

Rachel is very communicative and responsive. She made me feel so comfortable leaving my pup in her care. Highly recommend

Our Old Dog Starboy is on Medication and quite fragile. He is a 60 lb bulldog. I was worried about leaving him for a week. After contacting Rachael V. She reassured me that she was very capable of dealing with his special needs. I am happy to say that Starboy had a great week Rachael sent lots of texts with pictures and I’m sure Star really enjoyed his stay.

I recommend Rachel to anyone in need of a dog sitter! Rachel follows all instructions perfectly, is so great with my Daisy, shares great updates and photos, and is very communicative. I appreciated how thorough she was getting our information (vets, routines, allergies) which is a nod to her experience and added to my trust in her service. I’ve now booked with her around 10 times and have complete confidence trusting her with my baby :) Daisy is 9 with both IVDD & IBD. We’ve had almost exclusively negative experiences with dog sitters in the past, so I have been very apprehensive about finding a sitter. Once I saw Rachel had amazing reviews, I took a leap of faith and am so glad I did! I can finally leave my house for longer than a few hours with total peace of mind :)

Great communication before, during, and after the walk. Sparta and I look forward to more visits from Rachel.
