Safety, trust & environment

Upon entering the home, I announce my arrival so the animals in the home aren't spooked. While in the home, I do talk to all the animals and interact at their comfort level.

Please let me know ahead of time if your dog plays well with other dogs, or has any behavior issues I should know about. The safety of your dog and other families dogs are my number one priority.

A typical day

I live in the city, where we have lots of opportunities for parks and places to play! I love to be outside and hitting the local walking paths for new things to explore!

Pet care experience

Hello, I have been a pet parent most of my life, starting out with a cat at a young age, adopting many more throughout my years and most recently becoming a dog mom. I've had special needs animals that require daily medication and a watchful eye. I currently have a senior cat that has been diabetic for the last several years, giving me experience with injection medicine daily. Because of this, I'm extremely comfortable giving medicine to any friendly animal that might need it. When it comes to dogs, I do not have breed restrictions, all breeds, sizes and ages are welcome. I have been walking dogs and caring for other animals in my communities homes for several years. I come highly recommended by all of my previous and current clients, and am happy to provide references to ensure you're comfortable with choosing me.

Rachel is awesome with my dogs and they love her! She’s super sweet and considerate and good at communicating about everything. She’s also very mindful about safety and navigating any special considerations. I will absolutely be hiring her again!

Rachael cared for my three cats over an extended weekend and am so pleased with her care. My cats were happy with Rachel and no issues at all. Mail was brought in, treats were given and updates were sent daily. Definitely an A+ and would use her again.

Rachael is 100% an animal lover! It means the world to have the peace of mind that our furkids are being cared for so well. Like her own! Trustworthy, reliable, honest, knowledgeable, has a knack for animals that require medication and special attention (especially senior pets), and is very responsive when handling urgent situations (pet or house related). Little Beau (Corgi) and Paul (kitty) are always happy to see Rachael. She definitely respects all of our wishes/instructions and always puts the happiness and safety of our pets first!

I have two cats and they're like my children. I'm very protective of them, so needless to say, I'm very picky about who comes into my apartment to take care of my cats when I'm on vacation and I worry about them the entire time. I've known Rachael for almost 3 years, and not only do I completely trust her coming into my home to take care of my cats, but my cats also trust her. She goes above and beyond simple cat care of scooping the litter box, changing water, and feeding. She also stayed with them for a bit to make sure they had attention and pets and played with them. On top of all of this, one of my cats has feline herpes which means the outer rim of her eyes get occasionally goopy and crusty, so there are special instructions to gently take care of her eyes and make sure she's ok and can see. This didn't faze Rachael and she made sure my cat's eyes were clear and monitored them for any issues while providing updates to me on how they were looking and how my cats were doing. All of this to say, I don't trust merely anyone with my cats and I trust Rachael completely and highly recommend her. She deeply cares about animals and animal rescue organizations, so making sure that animals are well cared for is the most important thing to her.
