Worked with many dogs, even wolves!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs my entire life, and I spent 11 months working with and taking care of wolves and wolf dogs. I have also been a foster parent for pitbulls. I have been a dog sitter and a dog walker for many friends and neighbors in the past. I absolutely love dogs, and there is nothing I enjoy more than taking a dog to a park and running and playing with them. While I love being silly and having fun with dogs, I also understand the importance of training and discipline. There is always something new to learn about our canine companions with every dog I encounter. I would love to help take care of your dog, or any other pets you may have!
Reviews
Rachel is great with dogs! She is responsible, considerate, caring, and fun, making her the perfect person to leave your pup with, whether it's for a walk or a weekend.
I had the chance to work with Rachel for the better part of the summer and she proved herself to be very aware of animal behavior and a truly dedicated worker. She has shown a propensity to put the animals needs before her own, consistently gone above and beyond what many would consider to be "Good Enough". Rachel shines bright among other animal caretakers and I can confidently give her my highest recommendation.
Rachel is one of the most loving, thoughtful and responsible people I know. Animals are one of her greatest passions (especially dogs!) and she actually spent last summer working at a wolf sanctuary. Rachel is currently fostering a pit bull mix - a testament to her endless compassion - that she provides exceptional care for. Rachel is friendly, hard-working and reliable, and you won't regret hiring her!
Rachel is great and a natural around canines, she has a deep love for them and cares for them as if they were her own. I highly recommend Rachel to help care for your canine companions.

Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to know any of the dog's major fears and anxieties before sitting, due to the fact that it may alter the activities I do with the dog. I do not prefer any breed over another, but I do have experience working with Vizslas, Huskies, Labs, Pitbulls, Wolf-dogs and German Shepards. However, I love all types of dogs, especially mixes!
A typical day
I love to take dogs on walks in local parks and natural areas. The more time outside, the better! Activities we can do together include the always classic game of fetch, frisbee, exploring, and, of course, cuddling.
