Pet care experience

Farm-Raised Animal Lover

I grew up always having pets in my life, including cats, dogs, and small animals, and I’ve been caring for animals for over 25 years. I also lived on a farm for three years, which gave me hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals and their different needs. My mom was a vet tech, so our home was often full of animals she brought home to care for, including dogs, cats, a goat, and even a fawn. Over the years, I’ve also helped with pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, loved, and cared for while their people are away. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, check-ins, giving pets attention and reassurance, and keeping owners updated so they know their pets are doing well.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets and entering your home. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and make sure doors, gates, crates, food, water, and leashes are handled safely. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, including shy, energetic, older, or routine-sensitive animals. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

Rachael would be a wonderful choice to care for your pets. She is an animal lover and takes great care with any animal. She loves our dogs like her own. She is also very dependable. I’d highly recommend her any of your pet care needs!

I’ve known Rachael for a long time, and she is caring, dependable, and responsible. She genuinely loves animals, pays close attention to their comfort and routines, and takes her commitments seriously. She is patient, thoughtful, and someone I would trust completely to care for a pet. Pet parents can feel confident that their dogs will be treated with kindness and attention in her care.

Rachael is one of those rare people animals seem to trust right away. She has a calm, gentle presence and an instinct for letting pets approach her on their own terms—especially nervous or shy ones. She is patient, attentive, and never forces affection or interaction; she simply makes animals feel safe, and they naturally warm up to her. She is also incredibly dependable. Rachael communicates clearly, follows through on what she says she will do, and takes responsibility seriously. You would never have to wonder whether your pet was cared for, whether instructions were followed, or how their day went—she is thoughtful about the details and genuinely cares. She is considerate and kind, and the kind of person people naturally feel comfortable trusting. I would feel completely comfortable leaving any pet in her care, knowing they would be safe, loved, and treated like one of her own.

Schedule

I’m a stay-at-home mom with elementary and middle school aged children, which gives me flexibility during the school day to care for pets. I’m available for weekday drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship while owners are at work or away. I’m happy to work with each family’s routine and make sure pets get the care and attention they’re used to.
