Availability

I am working full time managing a local moving company, but a lot of my job is conducted remotely so I have open availability to spend quality time with your furry (or scaly) family member(s). I spend my free time with my 4 fur babies Ash, Halo,Bandit and Barnabus. I would love to either show your babies the same love and care in the comfort of your own home, or mine!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. Whether in my home or yours, I provide a calm, secure environment where pets feel loved and cared for. For dogs, I have a fully fenced-in side and back yard, perfect for safe outdoor play and exercise. For cats, I create a quiet, cozy space where they can feel at ease, get plenty of affection, and enjoy their usual routines. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs and personality, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free.

Information Rachael F. would like to know about your pet

It’s always helpful for me to know a little more about your pet before we spend time together. Please share any important details such as their daily routine, favorite toys, and what helps them feel most comfortable. I’d also like to know about any special needs, dietary restrictions, medications, or quirks in behavior—whether that’s being shy around new people, pulling on walks, or getting nervous during storms. The more I know about their personality and habits, the better I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for just like they would with you.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved. We’ll start with plenty of fresh air and exercise—whether that’s a walk around the neighborhood, playing fetch in the yard, or exploring new sights and smells. For more relaxed pets, we’ll spend time with cuddles, belly rubs, and quiet companionship. I also love engaging pets with enrichment activities like puzzle toys, treat games, or practicing training commands to keep their minds sharp. If your pet enjoys playtime, I’ll join in with their favorite toys, while cats might get interactive feather wand play or cozy window-watching time. Every day is tailored to your pet’s personality, making sure they’re comfortable, entertained, and cared for just like family.

Experienced & Loving Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name’s Rachael, and I’d love the chance to care for your pets like they’re my own. I’m a proud dog mom to two sweet girls, Halo and Ash, who keep my days full of love, laughter, and adventure. And I have recently become a proud cat mom as well, with my two goofy boys Barnabus, and Bandit who are me two angels. I grew up with German Shepherds, so I’ve been around dogs of all sizes my whole life and feel right at home with everything from the tiniest lap pups to extra-large gentle giants. I also have hands-on training experience and am certified through Brother Wolf, where I volunteered and completed all of their training classes. Because of that, I’m comfortable not only caring for pets but also understanding their needs, personalities, and quirks. Beyond dogs, I truly enjoy spending time with all kinds of animals—cats, geckos, lizards, snakes, turtles, and even fish. I believe every animal has a pure little soul, and it’s such a joy to connect with them. In my free time, you can usually find me curled up in bed with my pups for snuggles or out exploring on walks and adventures with them. Caring for animals is something that brings me so much happiness, and I’d be honored to bring that same care, patience, and love to yours.

Rachel did a fabulous job! She was both personal and professional. The second time she came to stay with my two guys they ran to her! That says it all!

Rachel did an amazing job with my chocolate lab, Ruger. Created a very welcoming and safe environment for my boy who struggles with anxiety. Thanks, Rachel!
