About: I’ve been caring for dogs for 8 years now. I really have a love for dogs and enjoy spending my time taking care of them. I’m very flexible, whatever your dogs needs to make you and your pet as comfortable as possible during my time with them. I like to make sure your dog gets to have some fun and excercise when they are with me I know of lots of trails on and off leash. I also have a large backyard that the dogs I care for just love. Whatever your dog needs day or night I will provide and make sure they feel happy and safe. If you have an interest in seeing more of my work check out my Facebook page @rachellorraniesdogservice I’m currently in school and working part time. My weekday mornings and early afternoons are open for walks and drop ins. I’m also available for boarding during the week and weekends making sure your dog goes out every few hours in between classes and work. I always make sure to find out if your dog is a runner or not. When entering your home I’m always careful about the door and your dog. Making sure no one gets out the house without a leash on is my top priority! Keeping your dog leashed during our walk, and using my knowledge of dog behavior to ensure your dog’s safety. Especially with other dogs we might encounter along the way.


18. Krishna T.

“Krishna was great! She was timely with every visit, we got a detailed card with several pictures for each visit, and she was prompt in responding to my messages with requests throughout the week.”


19. Valerie P.

“Great communication. I tried to contact 3 other providers and Valerie was the only one who responded. And she responded within an hour or two. Would definitely use her again.”


20. Isaac L.
“Isaac is the biggest dog person that I have ever met. No matter where he goes, his main mission is to befriend the four footed creatures. He is very gentle and cares for each dog as if it were his own.”
