About Rachel

Hello! My name is Rachel and I'm a kiwi who has been living in beautiful Australia for over 5 years. I moved to Wollongong at the start of 2021 and am loving the pace of a small town again. My friends and family all know me as being a massive dog lover. Unfortunately I'm not able to own one myself yet, so can only be the best Aunty to other people's fur babies - caring for them like they were my own. I'd love to spend time walking or checking in on you're beloved doggo (or other type of fur baby) when you can't.

I have a Cert II in Animal Studies, with some hand on placement with the RSPCA, so have some basic knowledge on Pet First Aid and dog behaviour.

My experience in dog walking is also from the volunteer work with Monika's Doggie Rescue in Sydney, which I did for the couple of years I lived in the Northern Beaches (walking every other weekend).

I work full time but mostly from home so have some flexibility on certain things, so get in touch now to book in either a one off dog walk, or a more regular gig! I'm also happy to go and check in on your pet in your home, hang out with them inside and feed them if that's all you need too.

I don't mind what size or type of dog you have, but find the most important thing is the connection with them, so a meet and greet first would be best. I can then learn more about who your dog is and what they need (quiet time away from dogs and/or children, on leash, off leash, etc.). Once we are both happy then I can plan the best place to take them so they get the most out of the experience!

Services: 

  • Dog Walks (up to 1 hour)
  • Home visits (feed, company, play time, or a quick walk) are 1 hour duration and can be once or twice a day for your dog, cat or bird. 
  • Available for evening weekday walks, anytime during weekend bookings (standardly).

    All services come with a free meet and greet.

    We felt very comfortable leaving our fur babies with Rachel. She treated them like they were her own and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rachel’s again or recommend.
