Highlights
Pet care experience
Happiest in the company of animals!
I’ve owned dogs my entire life including grey hounds, dalmatians and labradors. I currently have a rescue collie x shepherd and a staff cross who are my world! I have one cat (indoor) who was rescued as a kitten. I regularly help friends with the care of their dogs these include rescues, poodle crosses and springer spaniels. I love animals and am happiest in their company. I love to walk for miles and miles with them or sit and have a cuddle. Although I don’t have any formal qualifications I am interested in animal behaviour and observant when meeting others on dog walks to ensure the dogs are comfortable. I am thorough in following all pet care instructions provided to ensure your animals are safe and happy in my care. Please reach out if you would like to chat!

Fantastic as always!
Rachel took great care of me baby whisky and I love getting the updates with photos
Rachel was on time and communicated well!
Bracken really enjoyed his time with Rachel and her dogs. It was a hot day and Rachel took them all for an early walk before it got too hot. He came back very happy and obviously enjoyed the experience.
Second time with Rachel looking after Gus and I am so happy. Brilliant communication and great twice-daily update with pictures. Love being able to go on holiday and know he is in safe hands!
Rachel was brilliant. Came home to a very happy cat!

Schedule
I currently work full time over 4 days and most of my week is spent working from home. I have a son who is starting primary school and so have plenty of time for decent walks during the day!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure back garden with 6 ft fences the entire way round. There is ample space in my home and pets are always welcome on the sofas. To respect my cats space dogs are not allowed upstairs and there is a gate in place to prevent this. When visiting pets in their own homes I follow owners instructions and wishes rigidly. Ensuring the the pet is always settled and happy before I leave
Pets
A typical day
I love a long walk or jog through the woods. I am happy to go at your pets pace! A game of fetch or chase is always available too! If your dog loves water we can go for river walks where there are safe spaces for swimming! I always love to know what your pets favourite toy is and a good game of tug or hide and seek with their toy is always a winner
