I speak love; they return joy!

Pet care experience

I provide dependable, premium pet care services to ensure your pet(s) happiness and safety, and your home's security. My petsitting is in 24 hour increments (extra charge for more than 3 miles from main st Charlottesville) ***** Welcome back loyal clients! And hello new customers, please use my $20 off code for your first booking with me: RACHAK28451, https://www.rover.com/sit/rachak28451 ******************* Our furry family is our most essential link to joy. Their hearts beat wildly when they know they are loved and safe and respected. And it is my desire to bring love and safety and respect to all animals. I am a dedicated pet owner, since I was young, and years ago started helping with rescues. I've provided care services more than 38 years. My love extends to volunteerism at feral animal/wild animal sanctuaries too. In addition, I have taught CPR/First Aid/Basic Life Support for many, many years. All together, I have learned how to speak to our animal kindred with love. I know how to protect and nourish them; and they respond delightfully. In fact, my friends call me an animal magnet.

Rachael was very caring and gentle with our cat and dog. She stayed in our home while we were away and sent us pictures and little updates every day. We felt confident that they were in good hands. We would definitely hire her again!!

Rachael was wonderful with my pomeranian-chihuahua mix, Dixie, and I came home to a happy dog and a clean house! I was also extremely grateful to Rachael because the alarm was going off in my house and she called me and was able to sort it out over the phone, and calm down Dixie. i honestly don't know what I would have done if she hadn't helped with that. I highly recommend her.

Your animal will be attentively supervised while in my care. I provide you updates and photos once per visit/day; you are welcome to text me as well.

Information Rachael K. would like to know about your pet

As a caretaker, I'm curious how you describe your animal's temperment. This helps me understand if our time together is pleasing or distressing. If I'm staying the night, I need as many details about your routine as possible; and of course I value your tips on helping your furryone have fun even if you're gone.

A typical day

Of course we know that every animal is different. They move with their own desires. As a caretaker, I'd rely on you to suggest what makes your animal happiest and then do my best to achieve that happy bliss we want her/him to have! It might surprise you, but I love dancing and singing with all kinds of fun animals and found that many love it too!
