“Samantha is always the best and most reliable!! She is always on time and takes the cutest photos of my boys to send me while she’s there. We’ve used her every time we go away and the pups are always happy and healthy on our return home. Highly recommend!!”


“We had Jessica drop-in on our kitty while we were away for a long weekend, and we have been so impressed by how well she got along with our shy (but sweet) kitty. She provided us with detailed updates, sent many pictures with every visit, was very communicative and responded in a timely manner. We have never felt more at ease leaving our kitty behind than we have leaving her in Jessica’s care. We would gladly have her take care of Sandy again. Thank you again for everything!”


“Patsy was responsive, communicative, and great to work with. This was our first time using Rover’s service while on vacation. We were extremely nervous about putting our beloved pets life in a complete strangers care, but Patsy eased our minds by sending us pictures and updates during her visits. Thank you Patsy for taking such good care of our sweet boy, Fozzie. We will definitely use your services again the next time we visit Cocoa Beach.”


“Megan is the best, so kind and caring. She’s been great helping my elderly Nana with her cat box and my cat loves her. Definitely book with her for all your animal needs! I couldn’t ask for a better carer 💖”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I could remember growing up with both but most importantly my experience in shelters and vet tech fields from learning to care for their emotional and physical needs and understanding on a deeper level to understanding their medical needs. I have experience with good animals and dangerous animals. Any quirks I can most definitely try to work with. I am currently working as a vet tech in Brevard County. I am lucky enough to have every other day off, to check in on your beloved fur babies and take on walks or even dog sit overnight. I have one small dog girl who loves anything and everyone she meets, and a big open field to have them run around in. Plenty of good quality treats and love to go around!

She is reliable, responsible, timely, a true animal lover, and does a great job communicating. If I could give a rating it would be 10/10!! I swear sometimes we think our pets like Rachel more than us!! Can’t say enough about her experience and passion with animals. We love her!”
