Animal lover, biologist, pet owner

Pet care experience

I have cared for hundreds of dogs and cats of all sizes and behaviors over the past few years, as well as birds, rodents, and reptiles. I graduated with a Biology degree and I have studied Animal Behavior and other animal biology courses. I worked at a wildlife center with injured and abandoned wild birds and critters, as well as at a horse rescue. I have volunteered at a vet clinic doing checkups, and at two different humane societies working with abandoned and abused dogs and cats. I have had pets my entire life, and I have fostered puppies in need of a home, administering all their shots and medications. Animals are one of my biggest passions in life!

Couldn’t recommend Rachael highly enough. Took excellent care of our dogs, was communicative and timely. Everything was perfectly in order upon our arrival home.

Rachael is great! She listened to our (relatively complicated) scheduling needs and got all the details right, then took loving care of our two older dogs to make sure they got their food, exercise and medicines while we were gone, and checked in on our two cats to make sure they were ok. We'll absolutely ask Rachael to look after our little menagerie again.
