About: I have taken care of an array of animals and have a trusted eye for any underlying issues that may arise. I have taken care of elder dogs and pups who are only a few hours old. I understand how stressful and worrisome it can be as a parent of an animal who needs a lot of attention, to have to trust another with the care and detail you would give. I am here for you! Your fur babies comfort and health is always at the top of my priority list! That is a guarantee! My fiancé and I just recently moved to Delaware from Florida to help out as a caregiver for a family member. He is the primary caregiver, we both are going to school but our availability is based around our work schedules. In which my schedule is wide open! Please let me know if and how I can help you! We unfortunately cannot have any additional pups or cats at our apartment because of the sensitivity of our caregiver ship. We have medical supplies in designated areas of course but sometimes the elderly lady we take care of will drop her pills and we just don’t want to put an animal at risk by boarding them with us at the moment.

About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs, I walk them, feed them and bath them if needed. I have taken care of dogs from puppies to senior care and providing medicine. I currently work full time with a variety on my schedule and very flexible, I love spending time with companions. Im passionate about giving the animals undivided attention.

I can easily crate your pet if needed. I live in a community making walking safe and easy. Roadways with low traffic.
About: I have been fortunate to have had pets since I was a child: Cats, dogs, parrots, and reptiles. All of my pets have been rescues. Since my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was from a puppy mill, she had numerous health problems, resulting in paralysis later in life. But, she was able to adapt to a doggie quad cart and absolutely loved going for long walks in a stroller. While she required a great deal of hands-on care for many years, she lived a pain-free, long and happy life. My dog, Pepper, is a playful, energetic, loving black lab mix, who was taught that the little dogs are always the boss! She loves nothing more than to be around other dogs. My Beardie, Otis, loved baths, and he enjoyed spending time looking out the window, watching all of the activity, and being outside in the sunshine in the summertime. Devastatingly, he passed away, but I kept his vivarium and lamps with the hopes that I will be able to pet sit other beardies. I am experienced giving medications, and I have had training in working with dogs. Animals make my heart happy! I find that it is much less stressful on your baby if he/she can come and visit at least twice prior to being left here for the first time. Preferably, if one of those visits is one day of daycare. I pet sit when I can be available full time, so your pup will be taken care of by me personally at all times, not left alone, not left outside or in a kennel or in a basement, and not left in a child’s or teen’s care while I work. House sitting and boarding rates cover a 24 hour period of time, so you are not charged additional daytime pet sitting rates. I will shower your baby with attention and provide endless opportunities for play. Depending upon the weather and your pup’s normal activity level, we will walk for 1 to 3 miles twice per day plus go out for potty breaks every 2-3 hours, or we will take lots of short walks. I always use a leash when outdoors. It is very important for me to know if your dog has any triggers or becomes aggressive in certain situations, so that I can avoid those things. I will always have your baby's best interest at heart. This is not a kennel, nor is it a kennel-like set up. Rain or shine, or sleet or snow, I take the dogs for walks. Therefore, it is very important that your dog is leash trained and friendly. If your dog requires leash, potty, and/or behavioral training to stop marking, there will be an additional $10 per day charge for each day that it happens. I will do my best to get your dog leash trained well enough so that I am not yanked down the stairs and dragged down the street, but the training duration depends upon the dog. The same goes for pottying and marking. I will do my best, but please, for the sake of your dog, practice these things regularly throughout their lives.
Houston dog parents share their Rover experiences
Rachel was amazing with my dog!! I was gone for two days away from my pup and she brought treats and accommodated to her as much as she could! My dog didn’t want to go for a long walk (she gets stubborn and sad when we’re gone) so she took her for two short walks and extra treats!!! Very awesome !
