Ready to get your dog out & about!
Pet care experience
Hello there! I’m so excited to give your dog some exercise, love, pets, and belly scratches! I love the outdoors and take long walks regularly- and live by plenty of green spaces (Somerville green belt, Fresh Pond, Academy of Arts & Sciences grounds, Somerville dog park) perfect for romping and getting out some pent up pup energy. I’ve dog-sat before for various small, medium & large dogs (including golden retrievers, bulldogs, coonhounds, and shiba inus). Bonus: my dad is a veterinarian- only a text or call away! I generally work a 9-5 schedule (remote now!) Can’t wait to meet your fur baby, give them some exercise & fresh air, cuddles, and reward them afterwards with a little treat. For dog-boarding at my covid-free home, I have a strict policy for well-behaved and house-broken pups - no aggressive or excessive barking (gotta keep my neighbors happy!) Your pup will have free range of the place, can sleep in the bed with me if they so choose, and are welcome to plop down on any of the couches and make themselves at home as the sole animal in the house. For house-sitting, rest assured that your place will be in the same (or better!) condition than you left it.
Reviews
Our pups love staying with or getting walks from Rachel!
Rachael house/pet sat for us for the first time last weekend! She was wonderful. She was great with our dog and two cats and we received daily photos/updates of our happy animals. We will definitely call her the next time we travel.
Rachel was a phenomenal sitter for our dog, Cali, who didn't even miss us upon our return because she loved Rachel so much. Rachel communicated with us throughout and was quick to reply to all our questions. We recommend Rachel to others looking for a sitter and hope to work with her again. Thanks again Rachel!
Lucky us that we found Rachael! She was such a great match for our slightly anxious, energetic pup. She was so professional right off the bat, super responsive and guided me through the process, since this was my first time using Rover. She stayed in communication with us the whole time with great pics and even was flexible enough to add on an extra night when our trip was unexpectedly extended. We will certainly use Rachael again in the future.
