Pet care experience
5-Star Cat Whisperer
Kitties have been part of my life since childhood, and throughout my adult years I've volunteered at cat shelters, rescued and fostered kittens, adopted shy darlings, and am now a full-time professional cat sitter. I've been a full-time house-sitter since 2023, and specialize in cats only (occasional bird/chickies/horse/fish!), and have been rated as a 5-star sitter for 70+sits, with many return requests. A few kitty parents have described me as a 'cat whisperer' because the shy ones seem to relax around me, and I understand kitty language..(cat people know what I mean here!). My experience involves age ranges from babies to 20 year olds, from healthy and sassy to those needing meds. Flea treatment, nail clipping (depends on kitty temperament), brushing, harness-walking, litter scooping, general tidying up after them, and of course loads of love are included in my care, along with reliability, maturity and a warm personality. There's nothing that I wouldn't do for a kitty. I respect them and being invited to care for them is a blessing and heart-warming. I look forward to hearing from you :)
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Care for kitties in your home only, and includes high attention to detail, thorough following of your instructions, excellent communication with updates as requested (including photos/videos), and general tidying (kitty litter scooping, sweeping around litter area, vom vom and other messes clean-up). Happy to bring in your mail and take out trash and water plants if needed.
Ratings and reviews
Rachael did everything perfectly. She is easy to work with and communicates very well.
Rachael was great! Very sweet and accommodating. Would definitely use her again!
Raquel is great- can’t recommend her enough. She has a calm and caring demeanor that my cat, Gio, loved. She was great at keeping us updated with thorough feedback and photos. Wonderful experience all around.
Rachael was incredible with our boy! She was the first person he got that close so easily because, she took her time to connect with him. I would recommend her care for everyone. She is a real animal lover and took great care of our cat. We can’t thank you enough!!!!
Rachael was great! She sent many pictures and thorough updates and was so responsive! Will be booking again!
Rachael is my partner and I joined her to house and cat sit full-time. Her attention to detail and dedication to the care, love, and safety of the homes and cats is above and beyond. She is highly organized, meticulous and genuinely loves all kinds of cats. Highly recommend booking her if you want someone with years of experience and dedication.

Schedule
As a full-time house and cat-sitter, my schedule is flexible, and we can work out visit times that suit kitties needs. Looking forward to chatting.
- CatsRachael can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
- To help me care for your kitty just like you do, I’ll be asking: • Your kitty’s likes and dislikes (favorite toys, routines, or quirks) • Feeding details and where food is kept • Litter box setup and cleaning instructions • Any health concerns or medications (with dosage and timing) • Vet contact info • Location of carrier, just in case of an emergency
