Energetic & Reliable Pet Provider

Pet care experience

Dog Walking: Growing up with over 5 dogs of different sizes and personalities I have had to do a lot of walking. In my high school years I would walk the neighborhood dogs in my area as well. I worked on another dog walking service and completed over 100 walks with a 5 star review! I am very familair with Boston and it’s neighboring cities and know many great parks and green areas for furry friends! House Sitting/Drop-Ins: Since I grew up with many dogs around me I know how to handle dogs in their home environment. I enjoy cuddlers and playing with dogs but am also alright with dogs that need more time to trust and get comfortable with strangers! I worked at a doggy day care so I have experience dealing with all types of dog attitudes and temperaments! I am experienced in giving medications and helping older dogs with more special needs (blind/deaf dogs, diapers) Boarding: I live in an apartment with friends from college that are very fond of dogs so they would definitely get all the attention and play time they would want while boarding! I do not have a yard but I live very close to Franklin Park, a large and very nice woodland preserve that many dogs love taking walks in! Training: I have been volunteering with She’s a Keeper Dog training located in the greater Boston area. There I have gain experience in obedience, task work, and confidence training. I also have experience with service dog training and puppy training.

I am so happy I have met Rachelle. She really knows how to address the needs of my "special" dog. She has already walked my dog 3 times and I plan on using her kind and professional services more. This is actually the first time in 7 years that I allow a "stranger" (not anymore) to take care of my dog. Thanks for your thoughtful work, Rachelle.

Information Rachelle P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, I love all dogs and especially mutts! I do own a cat but she is quite timid and wouldn’t cause any trouble but I would prefer to know ahead of time if your dog has an issue with cats. I like moderately detailed information about pets so I do my best to take care of them!

A typical day

If I can take a dog to a park or open green area I try to! I also enjoy taking dogs to beaches if any are close. I keep treats and toys with me for walks to keep the dog as entertained as possible. And I love taking pictures/videos of them to send to the owner!
