Information Rachel Z. would like to know about your pet

When do they eat and how much? Do they get along or like playing with other dogs? Do they require any special attention or care?

We will go on walks to Huguenot park, and play in the fenced in backyard along with my dogs, Winter and Milo. They like to throw a ball and chase each other around.

Pet care experience

I have two amazing dogs, Milo and Winter, that play constantly! They are best of friends and always welcome new friends. Milo is an 8 month old puppy still learning house training and making amazing progress. I found him at a rescue in Philly when I was visiting March 2026- love at first site! He clicked so well with my German Shepherd mix Winter, that I rescued in June 2025. Prior to falling in love with these two rescues, I helped foster several dogs through a local rescue- while healing from the loss of my dog of 13 years, Bella. She was a one dog household kind of girl, but Winter was just the opposite. I could tell she needed a friend, and Milo came into our lives at just the right time. I so look forward to helping care for your fur babies and will give them all the walks, plays, and cuddles they might need. I’ll ensure all your care is personalized to your dog’s specific needs. Also, would love to send you pic updates while you’re at work or adventuring! If your dog is in my care for doggy daycare, I will be home with them, unless otherwise discussed with you. If I’m hired to come walk your dog, I’ll give you a detailed update of our walk!

Rachel is quite literally the best human I know. I can't recommend her enough. She is reliable, caring, and will treat every pet as if it is her own. I trust Rachel with my own two fur babies - Rue & Gouda. She will really go above and beyond to give you the peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands. If you're looking for someone responsible, compassionate and attentive, Rachel is absolutely the right choice!
