Love all fur babies!

Pet care experience

My family and friends have used me as their go-to pet sitter for the past 20 years, since I was a very small child. I’ve taken care of large purebreds to teeny tiny mutts and everything in between. Not only do I take care of all their beloved animals but I dedicate my life to taking care of my own, which includes cats, dogs, lizards, fish, and reptiles! And i love them all, no animal is too big or too small. Puppies, kittens, senior pets, and special needs pets are all welcome. I have no problem administering medication with instructions provided by vet and owners.

We booked Rachel for 7 nights & 8 days to care for our 2 cats & housesit. We were very pleased from start to finish. From her prompt response to doing everything we asked especially taking care of our 2 sometimes "needy" cats. Our boys were well taken care of. Rachel responded to our texts promptly when we checked in with her. She sent photos. Our home was very well cared for & she was a pleasure having to take care of our property. Our minds were at ease while we were away. Highly recommend!

I felt very comfortable with the care that Rachel gave my Oliver. I will definitely have her watch him in the future.

Rachel was so good with Norris! She was calm and open to when he was hesitant about a new person being in the home. Definitely knew Norris was in great hands.

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are all very cat and dog friendly, up to date on vaccines, and well trained! My little mixed dog is calm and sweet and loves all cats and dogs, she keeps to herself mostly but will playfully engage when she’s not tired (she’s older). Your pet will be in their company in my home but I am also able to section a special space off for them if it is requested! I have a fenced in yard at my home beautiful lake out back which I can walk your pet around, plenty of toys are provided in my home, and crates/baby gates etc if needed.

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dogs temperament toward other animals, potty break timing needs/frequency, food allergies and preferences, medications or medical conditions to administer or be aware of, diet and exercise requirements for length of time and amount of food given. As well as, your pets favorite types of toys and games. Anything you find important or relevant to the happiness and health of your pet is important to me.

A typical day

Walking the perimeter of the lake behind my house is a favorite of mine, it is calm and beautiful but the squirrels and ducks keep my dog entertained and it is safe away from the main road and tucked in the back of my neighborhood. I also enjoy taking the dogs to mount trash more, and the trails on first landing state park. Your pet is welcome to all my furniture and to make itself comfortable anywhere in my home even if it’s on my lap!
