Availability
Currently, I am a PhD student at George Mason. This means that my schedule is fairly flexible! I will always be open, honest, and upfront about when I can and cannot be there with your furry best friend. With school starting back up, I will not typically be available during the day on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. However, depending on the time you are looking for, I may be available to accommodate morning and evening requests! I also have sporadic meetings throughout the semester, but I will always be honest with you about when I can and cannot be there with your furry best friend.

I will always care for your pet as if they were my own. Again, it’s hard to leave your best friend with a stranger, I say that from personal experience. I want you to have confidence in me and know that your pet is safe.

A typical day
I love playing with animals, especially outside. As a graduate student, I find it hard to squeeze in time to be outside and get exercise. I am more than happy to run around outside with your pet, take your pet for a walk or short run, and just play and cuddle with them in general!

Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Rachel. I grew up surrounded by dogs, always stepping in to take care of neighbor's dogs and cats when they asked. When I moved out of my parents house I desperately wanted my own four legged best friend, however, I understood the financial responsibility and that I did not have the proper home a dog truly needs. To fill this gap I began volunteering at local shelters as well as walking and sitting dogs when I wasn’t in class. It had been a great way to fill a void in my life and give me some extra money while completing my undergrad and masters. I understand that it can be hard to put your trust in a stranger, but I promise to love your four legged best friend as if they were my own!

Reviews

Rachel is amazing!! We feel so comfortable that our dog is taken care of when we are away. Rachel is an excellent communicator and goes above and beyond to send us lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Rachel!!!

Rachel is the best! She has dropped in on our pup several times — it is very comforting to know how attentive and genuinely caring she is toward Nox.

Possibly my dog's second favorite person besides me.

Rachel is so wonderful with our senior husky! We get the best stories in the Rover cards about their conversations and we always known our pup is well taken care of you. Rachel is the best!
