About
Are you looking for a trusted pet sitter while you're away, or struggling with a puppy or dog that needs guidance? For more than 25 years, I've helped Kansas City pet owners care for and better understand their animals. Whether you need dependable in-home pet sitting or personalized dog training, my goal is to help you feel confident that your pet is receiving thoughtful, professional care. As a pet sitter, I care for dogs, cats, and other companion animals in their own homes where they are most comfortable. I have experience with seniors, special needs pets, medications, and pets who may be shy, anxious, or need extra patience. I am Fear Free Certified, Pet CPR & First Aid Certified, insured, and background checked. As a trainer, I specialize in helping families with real-life challenges such as potty training, puppy biting, crate training, leash manners, jumping, coming when called, household manners, and improving communication between dogs and their people. My training is based on positive reinforcement and creating practical solutions that work in everyday life. In addition to professional experience, I have worked extensively in rescue and have been exposed to thousands of dogs with a wide variety of personalities, backgrounds, and behavioral challenges. Every dog is an individual, which is why I do not believe in one-size-fits-all training plans. Current training options include: • Puppy Foundations • Raising Your Puppy Right • Behavior Reset Programs If you're not sure which service or training program is the best fit, reach out and tell me a little about your pet and your goals. We'll discuss your situation and determine the best next step for your family.

Rachelle was amazing! She helped a lot over the phone and came to our house for the session. She worked with both of our boys and taught them a lot of commands for one session! She was super sweet and made sure all of our questions were answered before she left and sent us an email of everything she taught and how to continue practicing with them.

Rachelle is extremely knowledgeable about dog training. We saw an improvement in our dog's behavior within the first hour of training. She gave us practical advice and explained why dogs act the way they do.
