Certified Pet Expert and successfully completed Pet Sitter Training Course. I am extremely careful with your pets. I realize peace of mind is vitally important when it comes to your loved ones. I am very good at following instructions (after 20+ years as a Marine). I do require a meet and greet unless a repeat customer.

Information Rachael P. would like to know about your pet

I have a reactive dog, so I know some may have particular behavior triggers. If your dog has any, please let me know. There is no problem working around those issues. I also love to know if they have any favorite toys or games to play.

A typical day

I love to take dogs for walks. I take my dogs every day for walks, including trips to local parks. I also don’t mind running around in a back yard and throwing balls. Whatever the pet needs. During the colder months, I love to take my dog for a jog. He loves it, especially on the trails. If a dog loves to run, I would gladly take them on a small jog.

Once a Marine, Always a Pet Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 25+ years. I recently retired from the US Marine Corps and enjoy spending time with my dogs and cat. I have used pet walking services throughout my years while Active Duty and definitely know the ins and outs. I love taking walks and spending quality play time with dogs. I am comfortable with the “high-maintenance” pets as well. I have had senior dogs, puppies, special needs, and dogs with anxiety issues.

We appreciate Rachael’s flexibility with our changing schedule and how responsive she was with photos and feedback/questions/etc. We loved how much she loved on our dogs too! They were very fond of her from our first meeting.

Rachael always takes such good care of our kitties. We have an indoor only cat and a mostly outdoor cat, so their care needs are unique. This is her third time cat sitting for us and our boys have really grown to love her. I always feel like our kitties are in great hands with Rachael 🥰

Rachael was absolutely wonderful—we couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She came twice a day for a full week and went above and beyond in every way. Not only did she take excellent care of our cats, but she also sent thoughtful updates and the sweetest photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were out of town. She was happy to help with a few extra things like bringing in our mail and watering plants, which we really appreciated. Our cats can be a bit skittish at first, but by the end of the week they clearly adored her—which says everything. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a well-cared-for home. I would wholeheartedly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter.

Rachael is amazing with Gus. He loves it when she comes to see him and he loves getting all the belly rubs. Always know Gus is being well taken care of.
