Availability

I am newly pursuing a masters degree and maintaining part-time work. I am excited that this transition has allowed me to commit more availability to Rover. My calendar is reflective of my availability when I am not in-person at work or at school. I love walking around the city and spending time with animals, so caring for your pets is something that I look forward to incorporating into my new routine!

Information Rachael P. would like to know about your pet

It is helpful to know how dogs interact with other dogs and their behaviors on walks. I also love learning what dogs like and enjoy catering to their needs.

A typical day

I get so much joy from seeing dogs happy and excited! I love taking dogs on long walks where they get to experience new sights and smells. I enjoy playing with dogs and their toys. I'm happy to give dogs all the pets and belly rugs they desire!

Rachael was wonderful with our pup! She took her on two great walks during the day and gave her lots of cuddles. I also especially appreciated all the updates she sent throughout the day and how responsive she was to messages. I would highly recommend her!

Rachael did a wonderful job with Lexi, very professional and you could tell my dog liked staying with her. Would definitely repeat if I lived in the area.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
