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 took great care of my old guy while I was gone. She sent pics of his status and let me know how he was doing. I would rebook without hesitation.
Rachel took very good care of my dog! She was very patient with him because he is a little anxious. She made sure he did his business, gave him fresh water, and snuggled with him on the couch. She also sent some photos; I love seeing my boy during the day. Will definitely book her again!
I really liked Rachel's flexibility and great rate for drop in visit for my 2 dogs. She took pictures and was able and very responsive. I will be requesting her again for drop ins!
Rachel was great with our dogs! We have a 9 month old jack russell who required a little more attention and she was great with him. Both give her a 5/5 stars ! Great communication and very sweet photos of our boys too.

Safety, trust & environment
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 and I say that that from personal experience. I want you to have confidence in me and know that your pet is safe.
Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any special instructions or requests upon requesting my service! This will ensure that I am best prepared and confident to take care of your furry friend. It will also ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you are gone.
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 in general play and cuddle with them!

Availability
Currently I am a PhD student at George Mason. This means that my schedule is extremely flexible! I will always be open, honest, and upfront about when I can and cannot be there with your furry best friend. I have a night class on Tuesdays and the occasional Monday, but I can care for your pups in the morning and afternoons! I also have sporadic meetings throughout the semester, but I will always be honest about when I can and can’t be there with your furry best friend.
