Highlights
Pet care experience
5 star pet r&r in southern Maine
I am an animal lover who specializes in house sitting, pet enrichment, compassionate care, walks and play. All ages, 1 on 1 care. Very experienced with senior dogs and high needs situations. I am extremely communicative and love sharing photos of your furry friends. I am just like you! I have owned pets my whole life, I know how much they mean to our families and your boundaries and their health matter most to me. Happiness is everyone cared for and safe. You’ll see through my over 50 5 star reviews that I truly do care. This is not just a gig for me, this is a path I’ve chosen.

Ratings and reviews
Very professional and responsible and always great with our pup!
Rachael is reliable, kind, and responsive. She took very good care of our sweet girl as well as our house.
Lily loves Rachael and was so happy to see her! It was last minute notice and Rachael made it work so she could help us out with Lily unexpectedly.
Gus had a great time with Rachael! He made himself at home quickly. She sent lots of photos and took great care of our boy.
Rachael was amazing!! This was our first time leaving our puppy for an extended period of time and we were very nervous. Rachael kept us at ease with daily pictures and updates on Lily. We could see how well she was caring for her and how comfortable our girl was with her. We also came home to a house that was more clean than how we left it. I highly recommend Rachael and we look forward to using her again!
We recently were away on vacation and were very excited that our Maizy girl could go on her vacation at Rachael’s - again!! There is nothing like being away and knowing our furry girl is having as much fun as us. Lots of good walks & snuggles. As always, Rachael provided lots of photos through out Maizy’s stay. Maizy needs meds on a particular schedule & Rachael always follows through. Thank you Rachael for another fabulous vaca for our girl! See you soon!

Schedule
I love to be outdoors and am an organized individual. It’s been a busy year and I’ve grown a beautiful clientele on Rover. I try to be as flexible as possible, my availability is always up to date but never hesitate to reach out and see if we can arrange something, I am always willing to flexible with my rates as well. I truly enjoy house sitting, leaving your place better than you found it and making your life as a pet owner simpler, with trust. Because I do not book multiple animals at once, my calendar is filling up fast. My best advice for booking is to plan far ahead and if you’re a new client, please allow time for meet and greets.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My family and I have a full setup just waiting to accommodate a pup in need of a stay. We have animal beds, toys, A yard (not fenced in) with a chain run and lots of neighborhood to walk in! We also have a disabled/elderly person in the home with so much love to give to animals with a need for more affection and who can ensure someone is with your furry friend if we need to run an errand. We love a dog park or beach run if that’s what your pup is into (though I reserve field trips for more well acquainted clients), and our car is well equipped with baggies and h2o bowls to make sure any trip is safe and fun.
A typical day
I love to share space with pets and make sure they are entertained mentally and physically. We might go on long walks, tug of war inside, watch some Bluey or Dog YouTube together, enjoy a snuffle or lick mat, or play catch in the yard. Snuggling and snoozing is always on the menu as well.

- I will be asking you about their bathroom and food habits, their sleeping habits and any training your pet has. I will be asking if your pet is a known escape artist and if they are house broken. I welcome puppies, kittens, special needs and senior animals-who might not have those things under control, I just need to be prepared ahead of time. If your animal pulls hard on walks, please share ahead of booking. Please let me know if your pet has known medical conditions ahead of time, and especially if they have medicine requirements. If your pet has a history of aggression towards other animals/people or any fears or silly habits that I should be mindful of. Safety and happiness for everyone is key.
