“Rachael was fantastic! She came and met me and my cat before I went on vacation. She was very communicative throughout my trip and sent plenty of pictures and updates. I could tell my cat was happy with her and that set my mind at ease. I’d book Rachael any time!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every size and breed for 10+ years. I am adaptable with each dog’s needs and personality. I have worked with dogs who have special health requirements. I have also worked with many elderly dogs. Many of these elderly dogs were large breeds and needed to be carried to get to different places. I am capable of lifting larger dog breeds who may struggle to walk. I am currently working part-time while doing online graduate school. I can play, stop in, and walk dogs in the mornings, late afternoons, and evenings. I cannot watch any dogs at my home due to the no pet policy. I am willing to play and feed your pets in your home.

About: I was taking care of my own dog in 8th grade. I’ve walked many different breeds and ages. I have experience with easy and hard dogs to walk. I am not a certified dog trainer but I have trained all of my dogs myself. Including my service dog in training. She is completely owner trained. I am able to read dog body language pretty well to know when a dog is uncomfortable with a situation. I treat every dog like my own. I currently have a part time job as a caregiver. I do plan to start this full time once I have the clientele. I will have an easy way of adjusting and having a full schedule. I am able to walk dogs in the morning, afternoon(before work) and at night. I can do drop in visits almost any time of the day. I don't offer daycare but in a client's home, I would go along with what the client has asked. I would make sure the dog is safe. I keep a structure or routine for the dog so that they aren't stressed out. On walks, I carry treats with me to be able to work a dog through a scary situation if needed.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs growing up. I know how to feed and bathe them. When I take dogs on walks I like to reward them afterwards with treats. I’m very patient and will clean after them if they had made a mess or accident. I’m currently working, and taking up general studies! I have available time in the morning and afternoon from 8am-3pm! I’d love to make some new friends with your fur babies and you! When walking your dog I will keep a leash on them. Will occasionally take them to play in a dog park if it is confirmed, okay. I also have one friendly fur baby they can walk with or have play dates with.

Whatever the needs, I have no doubt she would be willing to comply and provide excellent services!”
