Safety, trust & environment

At my home, I provide a safe, calm environment for pets, ensuring they get plenty of play, attention, and a consistent routine. My own cat is well-adjusted, and I make sure any pets feel equally comfortable. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routine and specific instructions to keep the pet feeling secure. I focus on providing companionship, exercise, and mental stimulation while respecting the pet's familiar environment. Whether at my home or yours, I prioritize the pet’s well-being and make sure they feel loved and cared for.

Information Rachael L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs in advance and I am happy to accommodate that. I’d also love to know their favorite toys/treats and what their typical schedule looks like!

A typical day

I'll make sure your pet has a great time with walks, playtime, and plenty of attention! Whether it's fetch, interactive toys, or just some cuddle time, I’ll keep them entertained and happy.

Cat care experience

I’ve been taking care of cats for over 5 years now, including my own 3-year-old tortie. I’m used to all kinds of kitty personalities, from the super cuddly ones to the more independent types. I can handle feeding, cleaning the litter box, and keeping them entertained with toys and playtime. I know how important it is to make sure your cat feels comfortable and safe while you're away, so I always give them lots of love and attention, just like I do for my own kitty! I may be able to board select cats in my home pending (successful) introduction to my cat prior to the stay.

Rachael is very consistent and dependable, and is a great communicator! She’s been patient with my shy cat, and is really good at keeping me in the loop so I can rest assured he’s happy and well cared for.

Rachael was great with my cat Stevie! She was very professional, responsive, and communicative. I felt extremely comfortable and at ease knowing she was taking care of Stevie. Can’t recommend her enough!
