Highlights
Pet care experience
Playtime!
I genuine care and give attention to every dog as if they were my own. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies who are still learning routines, including basic training and potty schedules, and I’m also gentle and mindful with senior dogs who may need slower walks, medication reminders, or extra comfort. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their owner is away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
I cannot write enough good things about Rachael! She was so accommodating and professional from start to finish, and I always felt completely at ease knowing my pet was in her care. She was consistently on time, incredibly reliable, and went above and beyond to make sure my pet felt comfortable, happy, and well cared for. It was obvious from the very beginning that she genuinely loves animals, and she gave my pet so much attention, affection, and care during every visit. Rachael also kept me updated with thoughtful messages and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Her communication was excellent, and she treated my pet as if they were her own. I would recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable pet sitter or walker. She exceeded all of my expectations, and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Rachael, for taking such amazing care of my furry family member!
Rachael was incredible, helped us with a last minute booking when other arrangements fell through. She was thorough, friendly, and took great care of our boy. She sent us plenty of pictures of the visit and he looked so happy with her. We would love to have her back anytime, highly recommend!
Rachel has been great with our puppy right from the start. I highly recommend her!
She did great with Dexter while we were at work! Definitely recommend!
Rachael took a ton of amazing pictures of my 3 cats while I was away, and I really appreciated that! It made me feel good to see that they were all doing well. All 3 of my cats seemed to like her too which is awesome!
Rachel was so great to my puppy when she came over to let her out in the middle of the day, on multiple occasions. She understood her puppy needs and took such great care of her. Rachel sends fun and informative pictures, so I always felt like my puppy was getting the care and attention she needed.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets by making sure they stay comfortable and follow the routine they’re used to. In a client’s home, I provide feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention so pets feel safe while their owner is away. I also keep the home tidy and make sure pets stay on their normal schedule. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean environment with supervised play, regular potty breaks, exercise, and lots of affection. I always pay close attention to each pet’s needs, personality, and any special instructions from the owner to make sure they feel happy and cared for.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets active and happy with fun activities that match their personality and energy level. This can include walks around the neighborhood, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive toys and games. Having a dog park down the road from me, if your doggie enjoys play time! For more relaxed pets, I enjoy cuddle time, gentle play, and giving them lots of attention and affection. If the pet enjoys training, I can also practice basic commands and positive reinforcement games to keep their mind stimulated. My goal is to make sure every pet has fun, stays active, and feels loved while in my care.
