About Rachel

I was an RSPCA volunteer for 2 years where I cared for many shelter dogs looking for forever homes. This experience made me completely comfortable with all breeds be it Staffys, Chiuahuahas, German Shepherds or Great Danes and everything in between.

I lost my very special Jack Russell, Milo in 2016 who had been with me for 14 years. It took me 6 months, but I eventually found that I was ready to rescue another little friend the way I had Milo. I found 4 year old Leo (Chiuhuahua x) at a shelter and he has been with me ever since. I also have a heeler x called Brian. The two are inseparable.

I appreciate how important it is to know that your mate is well cared for by someone who understands animals. I cant guarantee that they wont miss you but I can promise them lots of walks and lots of snuggles in their own familiar environment so that their time away from you is as comfy as possible. Unfortunately, my apartment in Elwood has an enclosed balcony but not a yard. Leo and Brian are fine with this as we walk every morning and arvo.

Since being on Pawshake, I have looked after many dogs in their own homes whilst their mum and/or dad are away. If you are happy for both of us to look after your furbaby/s, I'd love to hear from you!!

Rachel was absolutely fantastic! Her experience in caring for animals and her friendly nature go a long way - we trusted her immediately and couldn't be happier with the time she spent looking after our house and dog. She sent regular pics of Frankie which meant that we weren't worrying we would definitely recommend her
