Last minute is OK; Exotics Welcome!

Pet care experience

I am a lifelong pet owner and animal lover; I currently live with my two cats and bearded dragon. I've cared for all types of dogs -- older, blind basset hounds to golden retriever puppies. I have cared for special needs dogs, and am happy to administer medicine (oral, eye drops, ointments, etc). I love animals, and am highly active, so I'm happy to go on runs with your pup. I do not currently own a dog, so being able to care for yours is something I truly look forward to! I am an organic farmer/gardener most of the year, so my hours are incredibly open and flexible during the colder months. I can adapt to any last-minute changes or requests due to my flexible schedule. I am comfortable with handling multiple dogs at once, and can also care for any other animals you have ( I have experience with cats, guinea pigs, goats, reptiles, arachnids and even alpacas!)

Rachel was great with our cat, sent some cat videos and photos and checked in with us throughout our trip. Very happy and would use again.

Rachel was a wonderful sitter for Ronald. She went above and beyond helping with some of his special needs and we know he was comfortable and cared for over the weekend. Rachel was an incredibly respectful houseguest and we hope she can look after Ronald again in the future!

Rachel was incredible. She was reliable and gave me prompt and thorough updates. She also was thoughtful with staying at my place (for example, she put the linens in the wash and took out trash). I am so beyond grateful to have met Rachel and I will definitely book her in the future to watch Ted! Thank you Rachel <3

Rachel stepped in last minute to watch our dog, Delta, when we were out of town for a weekend. She was communicative, responsible, and kind. Delta was well-taken care of and loved. I would absolutely recommend Rachel for any of your pet's needs.
