About: I have had a cat my whole life, so having grown up with them, I enjoy taking care of them! I also have 3 dogs in my family, a Pomeranian, German Shepherd, and Aussie Doodle, and I periodically take care of all of them. I'm excited to learn about your pet’s individual needs, whether it be spontaneous playtimes, a relaxed brush/petting session, or their favorite foods and treats, I'll be happy to spend time with and get to know your pets. I’d love to walk your dogs as well! Having had pets with different illnesses, I'm familiar with and comfortable giving a cat or dog oral medicine if need be, and I'm used to the messes pets tend to make and am willing to clean up any messes I have pets with unique diets and medical histories, so I'm capable of working around your pet’s personal needs! As a college student who works in retail, pet care will be an as needed activity depending on my schedule for the week. I am willing to work around some schedule conflicts! I will treat your home with kindness and keep it clean for your return. If you have any rules on where certain items belong, please let me know!

About: What makes me different from other sitters is the deep, genuine love and respect I have for every animal in my care. I don’t just watch pets — I connect with them. Whether it’s a playful puppy full of energy or a gentle senior pet needing extra attention, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I have experience in: • Puppy training basics, including housebreaking, crate training, and leash manners. • Senior pet care, offering gentle handling, medication support, and a slower, more comforting pace. • Anxiety-prone pets, providing a calm presence and soothing routine to help them feel safe. • Multi-pet households, ensuring everyone gets individual attention, affection, and exercise. I treat your pets as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of love. Their comfort, happiness, and well-being always come first. im currently full time employed but i have two days off where i can fit any care for any type of pet any time of them days im off In My Home: • I maintain a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of room to play and relax. • Pets stay on their usual feeding, potty, and exercise schedules to reduce stress. • I provide cozy sleeping areas, safe toys, and lots of attention and cuddles. • Walks, playtime, and quiet time are all part of their daily routine. • If needed, I separate pets during meals or rest time to ensure comfort and safety. In Your Home: • I follow your care instructions exactly — from feeding to medication to walk times. • I keep your home tidy and respectful while you’re away. • I send regular updates and photos so you feel connected and confident. • I ensure your pet feels calm, loved, and safe in their familiar environment. Whether it’s a short visit or an overnight stay, I treat your pets (and home) with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

Fenced in yard. Ability to work from home. 24/7 care and love! Pets allowed on any and all furniture! It’s a true dog’s world and I’m just living in it.

About: I have been around all kinds of animals since I was born! Growing up, my family ran the county animal shelter. With this, my family and I have fostered animals since I was 3! I have experience with cats, dogs, bunnies, and horses, all of various breeds, sizes, and ages. I have trained service animals and have even been the veterinary assistant in a surgery on one of my Great Danes. I am currently working towards pursuing a career in service animal and K-9 unit training. I love all animals and hopefully you choose me to love yours! I currently work full-time as a restaurant manager. Despite this, I have a lots of free time to spend with your furry friend! I love animals and adjust my schedule to make time for them. Being a recent college grad, I don’t have any animals of my own yet. However, with my clients I have varied care depending on your service! With walking and home care services, I make sure to put all items back where I got them (leash, toys, etc) and make sure the pet has fresh water and food if applicable. In all home services, I make sure to leave the home better than when I got there!

About: I have been around animals my entire life and have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. This includes senior dogs, energetic puppies, and everything in between. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for neighbors, friends, and family, including walking, feeding, and ensuring their pets feel safe and well-loved in their absence. Currently, I have three dogs—two mixed breeds and a German Shepherd—one of whom I’ve raised from a puppy. I also care for a cat, giving me experience with both kittens and adolescent cats. My passion for animals drives me to provide attentive, compassionate care, and I genuinely enjoy making pets feel comfortable, secure, and happy. I currently work part-time at a pet and plant store, where I work two 8-hour shifts and one 4-hour shift each week. I’m also a student, but I’m not taking any classes this summer, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. This means I’m available most days for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, including weekdays and weekends. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—not only because of my work environment, but also because animals are a big part of my life at home. With my open summer schedule and experience, I can reliably provide consistent, attentive care fixed to your pet’s needs. When it comes to house sitting, dog walking, and daycare, I prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being above all else. I take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and specific needs so I can provide care that’s both consistent and reassuring. For house sitting, I treat your home with respect—keeping it clean, secure, and following all care instructions closely. I make sure pets stay relaxed in their familiar environment and stick to their regular feeding, walking, and play schedules. During dog walks, I always use secure, well-fitting leashes or harnesses and choose routes that are safe and enjoyable. I pay close attention to each dog’s pace, energy level, and behavior, ensuring they get healthy exercise and attention. For daycare, I create a calm and engaging environment where pets can play, rest, and feel loved while you're away. I provide frequent potty breaks and of course, lots of affection. I’m reliable, communicative, and truly care about the pets I work with.
“Great dog walker. Would recommend!”
About: I have four dogs myself, ranging from a havanese to a large chocolate lab, so I love all types of dogs, and am familiar with each of their quirks and habits. I have an open schedule mid-day to nights, as I am in college working 30 hours for my job and going to summer class. I love animals and being outside/active and would love to help make your life easier!! I believe our pets are another addition to our family, and should be loved just as much as any family member. I try to not leave my dogs alone for any more than five hours, but that can be hard to fit into your schedule. I would be happy to help your family in any way!

“I hired Rachel starting a few years back to take care of my Yorkie-Bichon Yoyo. From the very beginning, she was professional, communicative, and clearly passionate about animals. I work long hours, so Rachel helps me when I'm on vacation or temporarily away to let my doggie outside. She sends me regular updates, including photos and notes, which gave me great peace of mind. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and responsible pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking again in the future!”
