Highlights
Pet care experience
Student in Rochester
I have dogs at extensively over my summers at home in CT and love animals. I have two dogs of my own and also work at a dog rescue in CT. I have experience and am comfortable with reactive (people, dog, etc) dogs with my own dogs and dogs at the rescue. I am currently a student at Nazareth University looking to hang out with dogs in my free time because of a flexible schedule and missing my pets at home. I have experience watching dogs ranging in size and activity level from golden retriever puppy to old, arthritic labs to my chow chow pitbull mix to walking greyhounds on leash. I also have experience with leash training and crate training and am completely comfortable administering medication to pets if needed.
Cat care experience
Rachel also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I have lots of experience walking dogs of varying sizes, strengths, and extent of leash training from working at an animal rescue. I am very confident in my leash walking skills, however I do not accept clients who request off leash walks.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is responsive, attentive and follows the schedule to a “t”. I would highly recommend her to all my friends and family. We will definitely consider Rachel for any future pet sitting needs.
Rachel was so caring and patient with our dog! She gets very anxious when we leave and Rachel kept her safe and comfortable so she finally warmed up to her. She also took great care of the house, so respectful , and gave us lots of updates.
Rachel is wonderful, great to work with and very trustworthy—and most importantly my dog loves her! Highly recommend!
Rachel was very punctual and fulfilled all of Milo's needs in the short time she was here each day. We appreciated her conscientiousness.
Rachel is wonderful and Milo adored her. I’m so impressed with her punctuality, her good attitude and love of walking dogs. I would certainly use her again as a dog walker.
Rachel is a fantastic pet sitter. Our dogs were happy and calm when we returned home. She obviously loves animals and they love her. She is also a considerate house guest and left our home clean and in great shape.
