David & Rachel Pet Care

I couldn’t imagine dogwalkers more reliable and caring than David and Rachel, who have walked our dog Dotty for over 2 years now. They come on time everyday, are communicative about our dog, and are extremely friendly and caring. We have boarded Dotty with them and it’s such a relief to know that she’s in such good hands when we’re gone. If you’re looking for a dogwalker in Park Slope, look no further, they’re the best.

David and Rachel are FANTASTIC! Our shy dog LOVES them!

Rachel is amazing! We were using her for the last year and a half, until we moved out of Brooklyn, and she was always on time, excellent with our dogs and responsive. She was extremely reliable and I have and would continue to recommend her to any of my dog owner friends!

I met Dave and Rachel a few years ago in Prospect Park when they were walking their pup. Kind, thoughtful and good dog owners, I found out only much later that they were dog walkers and pet care people. I have two Ridgebacks and I’m super picky about who cares for them, and insist that the people whom I entrust are aligned around the same care values that I am. Dave and Rachel are, and then some. If you want piece of mind, and you want to make sure that your pup or pups are well taken care of – go with these two. I hear so many nightmares of doggy care going awry, you’ll want these two in your corner.

David and Rachel have been taking my 80 lb golden retriever, Hudson, for off leash park runs for the last 3 years when I am out of town. My golden can be quite a handful and has had aggressive confrontations with some dogs. I was totally confident that David could and would handle this issue, although I was a bit nervous at first. He always texted me to let me know how Hudson was doing. It was extremely reassuring. Rachel and David are completely reliable, loving, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I highly recommend them if your dog needs exercise and a watchful eye.

What a relief it is to go out of town and know that my beloved cat Brooklyn has been left in the capable hands of Rachel and David. They open up their very own home to him and even send me photos of his antics around their apartment! They give me peace of mind so I can truly enjoy my vacation. They are very caring and conscientious human beings who love animals.

Dave & Rachel have been walking and boarding our dog, Schubert, for several years now. We love the individualized care he receives from them, as well as the consideration they extend to us as pet owners. They are always accommodating our schedule and tailoring their care to our dogs unique ‘doggyality’ and needs. This is not a ‘side job’ for them. Caring for your pets is their career and passion, and they approach it in a professional and completely committed way. Furthermore, I’m impressed with their policy of taking on only as many dogs as they can reasonably care for at one time — unlike a number of bigger, more commercially minded dog walking companies in the City. You can be sure that your dog will get the close, personal attention it deserves.

I’ve known David and Rachel since Waffle, my very active dog, was a puppy. He loves spending time with them, and they totally understand both how much exercise and how much love he needs. Sending him for a sleepover is a total treat for him, and puts my mind totally at east, as I know he’s getting amazing care.

David and Rachel walked our dog Gus when we lived in Park Slope and I couldn’t recommend them more highly. Gus is a very anxious dog who has hard time with new people, but David had a lovely way with him and we felt so confident with Gus in his hands. Aside working with them, we would see David and Rachel in the park almost every morning and they are wonderful people! They care so deeply about the dogs they work with, and it shows in the love the dogs have for them.

Rachel and David have been walking our dog Einstein since he was a wee little pup, just 2 months old, three whole years ago. Einstein adores them. They are fantastic with him, and when we go on vacation, we can always rely on them to take Einstein into their own house and show him some love while we are away. I don’t know what we would do without Rachel and David, and most importantly, I don’t know what Einstein would do!

I have been using David and Rachel for the past three years ever since I got my mini poodle. Max is a handful so I was apprehensive about leaving him with anyone, but Rachel and David are wonderful with him, they are actually the only people I ever use to board Max as Max loves them. They are kind and energenic and really get what the dogs are all about. They understand what us humans are all about also! I would recommend them to anyone.
