Reliable, caring, fun pet-sitter
Pet care experience
My name is Rachel, I'm 27 years old and I'm a huge animal lover! I have my own dog who I absolutely adore. His name is Bonzai and he is a 3 1/2 year old, mixed breed rescue. I've also owned two cats, a bird, a snake, two chinchillas and a bearded dragon throughout my life. I love volunteering at different animal shelters, horseback riding and being around animals in general. I live by many dog parks and love being outdoors, so exercising your dog will not be a problem. I have been a dog lover since I was a little girl playing fetch with my neighbor's German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix. I have volunteered at many animal shelters and have always been drawn to animals. I have experience administering medication including insulin for diabetic dogs, oral medications, and IV drips. If I am shown how I am comfortable administering any medication. I am not squeamish and will do what is necessary to keep your dog happy, safe and healthy. I am offering both boarding and traveling dog sitting services and my flexible schedule allows me to be able to spend plenty of time with your pet. I will be sure to love and care for your furry friend like it's my own.
Reviews
Rachel went above and beyond to make sure or lab was comfortable and happy. Our dog is frightened of noises and shy. Rachel made sure that she was calm and kept us updated on her level of anxiety. She sent lots of photos and immediately contacted us when she had an eye irritation and was quick to pick up and administer medication. We didn’t worry about our pup while in another country and will definitely be leaving our baby girl with Rachel again.
Rachel was excellent. She sent us multiple updates throughout the evening/morning. She checked with us whenever there was an issue. And our dog, Albie, seemed to feel safe and happy in her home. We would love to have her take care of him again. Highly recommend!
Great!
Rachel was wonderful. She was extremely accommodating to our last minute booking and had quick responses. She asked questions about our dog to make sure his day went as usual and greeted him by name upon arrival. You could tell Rachel is an animal lover and treated our pup like her own for the day. She sent updates and pictures throughout the day and our dog had a great time playing with hers for the day. Would definitely recommend and use again myself!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in my home and/or your home according to your care instructions and specifications. If your dog stays at my home I will walk him as often as I walk my dog, which is 3-4 times a day unless you request otherwise. If you are comfortable, I am also happy to take trips to the dog parks nearby. When it comes to feeding schedule, treats, and other things, I will always follow your routine and your instructions to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible.
Home
Information Rachel Z. would like to know about your pet
I need to know when, how often, and how much to feed your dog, if they are potty trained, if they have any allergies, how they are with other people, dogs, and kids on walks, if there are any medications they are taking, and how often and for how long you walk your dog. It is also helpful to know any tips or tricks you use if they tend to be more anxious or things that may be individual to your dog that you'd like me to know.
A typical day
I take dogs on 3-4 long walks a day and if you are comfortable, I take trips to the dog parks nearby. Your dog can sleep wherever it would like because there are no restrictions on where they can go or what furniture they're allowed on.
