Safety, trust & environment

When in a clients home, I am respectful and take care to leave things as they were or better. I can follow a variety of care schedules, as I have followed specific lab protocols of care in the past and I have experience with my friends varying animal care preferences and needs.

Information Rachael A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet is on medication or has allergies so they can stay happy and healthy! I would appreciate any tips as to what toys are their favorites and if they have any quirks I should know about!

A typical day

I love to play with chew toys, feather toys, blankets and food puzzles. When at a park, I enjoy going stick hunting with doggos and praising when they find a particularly large one!

Pet care experience

I have a B.S. in Animal Biology. I grew up with dogs, hamsters, fish, turtles and chickens. I own three cats currently and cannot wait to get a dog later! I worked in a lab at UC Davis where I cared for aquatic animals (axolotls!!) and I cat sit for friends whenever they are out of town. Growing up with dogs throughout my life, I am well accustomed to their needs. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and an animal hospital where caring for cats and dogs is the name of the game!! I would love to meet your babies and give them the best care.

Rachael was wonderful with Murphy giving him his meds and played with the other kitties as well. They love being around her.

Rachael came to our house and handled a complicated day care setup involving several foster animals, resident animals, and guest animal. She was super responsive and communicative, and we received so many cute picture updates! We were so glad to have the peace of mind knowing that our animals were in her capable, kind, and thoughtful care. Thank you, Rachael!

Rachael is extremely responsible, caring and responsive. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better and our dog was very happy and misses Rachael. We will ask Rachael to housesit for us in the future.
