B.S. in WILDLIFE SCIENCES

Pet care experience

I am 23 years old and recently graduated from Penn State with a degree in Wildlife And Fisheries Science. I currently am an animal care professional at the zoo taking care of primates. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and through that and with my own animals have gained so much experience. I have owned a dog who was not good with other dogs, one with toy possession issues, leash pullers and have been extremely present in the training of my chocolate lab puppy. Over all animals give me an incredible amount of joy, to the point where the work i do with them doesn't phase me as work because it is something I love to do so much. I have interned at the Beardsley zoo as an animal care giver, so I am experienced in working withs variety of animals. With me, your pet is guaranteed a well-rounded experience!

Rachel has been deeply involved with animals from an early age, and as a pet owner of multiple kinds of pets she has always been caring and compassionate. She is the caretaker for our new puppy, which includes training, feeding, and loving! Her college career will be dedicated to animal sciences, and she will make a wonderful vet or zoologist!

Rachel demonstrates a love for animals while she cares for them. She really enjoys spending time and taking care of dogs. I recommend her for dog walking or sitting.
