About Rachel

Hi! My name is Rach! I'm a preschool teacher and an Inner West local. I've recently moved to McMahon's Point after getting married. 

I was raised with dogs and have always been comfortable and confident with them. After volunteering at the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home, I rescued my own dog, a ridgeback/pointer. There's nothing I love more than walking him around Sydney, often with my sister's golden retriever.  

I have a qualification in Captive Animals from Taronga Zoo and a qualification in Animal Studies from TAFE.
I have been working as an early childhood educator for eight years and have experience in retail and hospitality also. I have a Bachelor of Arts with a Major in German Studies (one of the best things about Germany is that dogs are allowed on public transport!).

I've never met a dog I didn't love, and I am confident with all breeds and ages. My own dog comes from a damaged background so I have experience with training and building trust with every walk.

I can't take dogs into my apartment but will eagerly take them out and walk them and care for them as long as you need.
I work full time but am free weekends and late afternoons/early evenings, as well as school holidays (the advantage of being a teacher!).

I can't wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the love and attention they deserve :)
