Caring and Responsible Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of animals as long as I can remember. Dogs, cats, fish, turtles, I love them all! I’ve rescued 8 animals in total in my life so far, including a few hospice cases, and always love caring for all creatures, great and small.

I boarded my Husky, Aiko, with Rachael and couldn’t be happier with the experience. From day one, she was on point with communication sending regular updates, pictures, and videos of Aiko having a blast. It really gave me peace of mind seeing how much fun he was having, whether it was on a walk, hanging out, or just lounging around. Rachael didn’t just feed and watch him—she actually spent time with him. Aiko got plenty of social time, regular walks, and real attention, not just the bare minimum. What really stood out was how flexible and understanding she was. My schedule changed last minute twice and she was able to extend Aiko’s stay without hesitation. It’s not easy finding someone that dependable these days. If you’re looking for someone who treats your dog like their own and keeps you in the loop every step of the way, Rachael is the one to call. Highly recommend her services I'll definitely be booking with her again.

Rachael was amazing. I was able to be on my trip without worrying about my dogs. She consistently checked in and kept me updated.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Rachael! From the moment we met, it was clear she genuinely love animals and take their responsibility seriously. While I was away, they provided my sweet pup with incredible care, attention, and affection—just like I would (maybe even better!). They sent regular updates with adorable photos and notes, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. It was obvious my dog was happy, well-exercised, and completely comfortable. I came home to a clean space and a content pet who clearly adored their new friend. Rachael is trustworthy, professional, and warm—everything you could hope for in someone taking care of a furry family member. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch pet care. I’ll definitely be booking her again! Thank you for being amazing, Rachael!

I have a very flexible work schedule and write my own hours so am available for almost any time of day or night. Taking care of animals is my relaxation, so I would love to be able to do it with my down time.
