I work M-F, with my weekends open. We like to go to the dog park down the street from my house, after work Rio gets a walk or we go to the beach. My cat just hangs around the house and cuddles when I’m settled.

I have a fenced yard and a lab that would love to play with your fur baby. My cat honestly would be around but probably not interested. She’s been around dogs, but she mostly keeps to herself.

Pet care experience

There is nothing quite like the greeting you get from a happy pet, and that joy is exactly why I love being a pet sitter. I have been caring for animals for 25 years, a journey that has given me a deep understanding of pet behavior and a true passion for their well-being. From puppy energy to the gentle needs of senior animals, I find so much fulfillment in getting to know each animal’s unique personality. My goal is to provide a stress-free, fun environment where your pets feel completely at home while you're away.

Rachael watched our dog Willie and was a wonderful sitter! I got pictures of Willie and he definitely enjoyed himself! Would book again!

Rachael and her partner were nothing short of amazing with our dog Indy. Indy was instantly relaxed when he arrived for the night at Rachael’s, and had a lovely evening of cuddles and play with Rachael and her “crew”. Her dog and kitty were equally as welcoming to Indy! The picture updates were amazing and unexpected, and I could tell Indy was incredibly comfortable for his overnight stay. 10/10 recommend Rachael, and we will absolutely be booking with her again!

Rachael watched our timid German shepherd for 5-nights over Christmas break. She checked in regularly and sent photos. She took her out for a lot of walks and socialized her with other dogs. This was the first time boarding our dog outside of family and extended family, so we were a little worried on how our dog would do. Everything went well and we would definitely consider Rachael for future overnights.
