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!
