“What a wonderful experience! Rachel and Mabel are gems. Took wonderful care of Ginger, providing updates, photos and a video.

If anyone is looking for a caring and loving person to care for their fur baby, Rachel is my go to caregiver.”

We will definitely be using her for all of our future boarding needs!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my experience with a wide variety of pets, from playful puppies and energetic kittens to senior dogs and cats with special care needs. Whether you're looking for someone to train a puppy, keep your kitten engaged and socialized, or provide gentle care for your older dog or cat, I’m well-equipped to handle it all. I understand that each pet has unique needs, whether it’s a kitten who needs patience and stimulation, a dog who loves active play, or a senior cat who requires extra comfort and medication. I take the time to tailor my care to each pet, ensuring they feel loved, secure, and happy. Whether it's feeding, playtime, or health monitoring, I’m committed to providing the best care possible and will keep you updated with regular check-ins, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be highly attentive to your pet’s needs throughout the day. Whether it’s taking breaks for walks, playtime, or simply offering companionship, I’m able to give your pets the attention they need, whenever they need it. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, provide regular exercise, and offer mental stimulation for pets of all ages. Working from home also means I’m always available to keep a close eye on your pet and ensure they feel safe and comfortable in your absence. Plus, I’m happy to send you updates throughout the day, so you can rest assured knowing your furry friend is in good hands. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or your home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable, familiar environment for your pets. At my home, I make sure to pet-proof all areas, keeping your pet safe from hazards while allowing them the freedom to roam and explore. My home is pet-friendly with plenty of cozy spots for cats to curl up and safe spaces for dogs to relax or play. For cats, I make sure there are scratching posts, toys, and spots to climb or hide if they need some alone time. For dogs, I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor play and exercise. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your routines closely to maintain consistency for your pet. I ensure that your home stays clean and tidy, keeping their feeding and sleeping areas as you’ve set them up. I respect your pet’s space, while also offering playtime, attention, and companionship as needed. Whether it's giving medication, providing emotional support, or just being present for comfort, I take the time to ensure your pet feels secure and loved while you're away. You can trust that your pet will be well cared for in an environment that’s safe, familiar, and tailored to their needs.
