Hello Pet Parents,
My name is Rachel, and I am the owner of Rachel’s Pet Care. I offer a variety of services including Puppy Training, Daily Pet Drop-ins, and Pet Sitting Drop-ins. With years of experience and a genuine love for animals, I ensure your pets receive the best care possible.

It’s all about treating your furry friends like family; so I want you to know that I will treat your pet with compassion and love, as if they were my pets. If you decide to pick me to be part of your pet care. I assure you that your pets will be in good hands!

I do know the importance of feeling comfortable leaving your pet with someone you don’t know, and also trusting someone in your home you don’t know!
I know firsthand how difficult it can be to leave your home and furry family member behind, not knowing if everything will be alright when you get back. I have two dogs myself; so I know the difficulty, when it comes to leaving them behind, and your home in someone else hands. When you go on a vacation or just look for a human companion while you're at work, you want to feel stress-free from all those fears about what could happen to your home or pet. I heard horror stories from pet parents who went through a lot of stressful situations when leaving their pets and home in someone else’s hands. I can say with confidence, that your home and pets will be safe with me; so you can enjoy your time worry-free and stress-free. A Vacation should be just that, a vacation from all worries! Even just keeping your pet company during your time at work, also should be worry-free!
To ease your comfort; I will give you daily updates on your furry family member, which will include pictures and daily written updates from me. (And maybe a video sent through email).
If you’re like me, I am very picky with who watches my furry family members. I would want you to be picky as well! It’s hard to trust just anyone with your sweet furry family members, and trusting someone in your home. I want you to feel comfortable knowing, that I will love your sweet furry family members like they are my own. I do hope that you choose me to care for your sweet furry family members.
I do also provide care for cats, guinea pigs, fish, and birds.
Unfortunately, My son does the reptiles.! I do not!

Here’s a brief description of the services:
Pet Daily Drop-ins.
If you work outside of the home or work from home. You’re not a big fan of doggie daycare. Pet Daily Drop-ins can range from 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Your pup will receive playtime, feeding time, letting your dogs out for potty breaks, and walking your furry friend. There’s no extra cost for walking your pup, as other pet sitters do charge!

Pet Sitting Drop-ins:
This service is for pets who might need longer visits in the home. The visits last 2-3 hours per visit. This is great for dogs, cats, or guinea pigs who need longer visits for human championship. If you have a very independent dog, who only needs to be let out, a human championship for a few hours at a time during your time away at work or vacation. This is for you! No overnights! There are different packages of visits, 3,4, or 5 visits. It depends on what your pet's needs are!

No extra cost for getting your mail & watering plants if needed.

💉 💊If your dog or cat needs medicine. I can assure you I am comfortable with oral medication, and injections. If your dog or cat is on a special diet or taking any dog supplements. I can assure you they will stay on any special diet or supplements you require to be given to your dog or cat.

Do you need Puppy Training?

Puppy teaching can start at 2 months old. You don’t have to wait for their first round of shots. This is why, I believe in private in-home training.
This helps your pup transition into their new home smoothly.

All Puppies do go through an adolescent phase. This is known as the “puppy teenager phase.” This phase can be challenging at times for all pet owners.
I prepare you through my early puppy training which will be helpful during the puppy stages. You will learn helpful skills and techniques to use throughout any difficult situation during the puppy’s teenage stage. This puppy stage starts at 6 months and lasts until they are 2 years old. My goal is to teach you how to become your puppy’s new teacher & trainer.
The most important part of owning a pup/ dog is taking the time to understand their way of communicating. This will help the human understand their dog even better. Some barriers can occur between a human and their dog. All animals communicate their body language. I do spend time helping you the human understand dogs' body language. This is part of my teaching as your teacher/ trainer.

➡️It’s important to start with proper training to help your puppy become successful; as an adult dog., so you can enjoy the benefits of pet ownership. The sooner the better!

☑️ I help shelter dogs and rescues transition into their new homes. There shouldn’t be any training until the dog has decompressed enough to start training. It depends on the dog. The training would be slowly done.

➡️Disclosure: I will be willing to travel for puppy teaching/training. I will charge an additional fee for mileage over 3 miles.

Here are a few things you should know about me:

✔️ You will learn patience, as a puppy owner or dog owner. It is a very important part of owning a pet. I will guide you through those difficult moments in puppyhood, and into the young adulthood of a dog. When adopting a dog from a rescue or shelter. I help guide you through this journey, as well.

✔️ My approach is called “ teaching” not training! I believe teaching is the best term to use when you’re working with any animal. I do believe each puppy, or dog needs to be taught differently. It’s not a one-size-fits-all kind of training. There will need to be different techniques and methods that need to be used. I have learned throughout my training experience, that each puppy, or dog- has their unique different personalities, their demeanors can be different, and also their temperaments can be different. Just like humans don't learn the same; neither do dogs (or any animal for that matter); so, therefore, puppies or dogs don’t learn the same way.
My approach is different; so therefore each teaching will be modified as needed, and in the end, you will have a beautiful relationship with your dog or puppy.

I do recommend a pet meet and greet for first-time pet clients. It’s FREE!
