•My schedule… I run my own pet business full-time! I love my work. During the day I have regular clients for my business. My house sitting clients must be able to be left alone for 5 hours at a time, max, so I can tend to the regulars—but this will not hinder the level of care I provide to your pet! If your pet needs more time than I normally provide, we can discuss an additional charge.

Safety, trust & environment
•Put your paws in safe hands… I am very alert, safe, and proactive. In all my years I have never lost a pet, had a pet have an injury, or any sort of bad experience that comes with a lot of inexperienced people in this field. I double check all doors after leaving to ensure they are properly locked and shut. Happy to set any alarms, cameras, and other needs you may have. My full reports give you peace of mind and allow you to see what your dog has been up to, their eating and potty habits, and more. During walks I do not greet people or other dogs for safety reasons unless specifically requested by the owner to do otherwise. I do not bring guests to walks or house sits unless approved by the client.
Information Rachael R. would like to know about your pet
Before I work with your pet, please be as honest and accurate with the information you provide me about your pet. The more I know, the better I can be with your pet and their specific needs, and the safer I can keep them. I have no breed or age preferences--all are welcome! Please tell me... Basic Information (Age, Breed, Size, etc) Health Information (dietary restrictions, allergies, meds, etc) Triggers/Behaviors (not good with kids, scared of bikes, not good with women, etc) And anything else you find important! The more information, the better! I ask that you DO NOT sugar coat anything. I’m comfortable with almost anything - but I can not give proper care that keeps your pet or myself safe if I don’t have full and accurate info. Thanks!
A typical day
I LOVE spending time with animals (more than people!) so I am eager and willing to do whatever your dog would like! If they feel playful, we can play with balls, toys, or go on walks/runs or to the park. If they simply want to cuddle, a snuggle-sesh is always welcome! Your dog will have my undivided attention when we are together. **I do not take dogs to places where they will be off-leash, such as dog parks, for their own safety**

Pet care experience
Hello! I'm located in Glendale. While other walkers and sitters may be able to garauntee your dog will have fun with them, can they garauntee your furry pals safety? In my eyes, safety is just as important, and after years of only 5-star service, I can soundly promise that your pooch will have a fun AND safe time when with me! My friends and clients call me the animal whisperer--I've yet to meet an animal that, even if it takes some time, I didn’t end up having a connection with. I'll always work to gain their trust and love—I don’t mind being patient! I also strongly believe in full transparency, and so I will do my best to update you with accurate, honest information as I spend time with your pup. I'll give your dog the best treatment I can because they are more than "just a pet", they're family, and should be treated as such! •Breakdown of Services... I come equip with a large walker belt, back-up harnesses/collars and leashes, poop bags, light-up collar clips for safety on nighttime walks, pepperspray & an airhorn to protect against coyotes/cougars, water and a water bowl, paw wax to protect against hot pavement, and more. I am very communicative, detailed, and I love to take pictures. Expect frequent heavily detailed updates as often as you would like, lots of cute pictures and videos, and expert attention to detail! •Walks… You’ll receive a map with our walk route, report on your pet’s business, a detailed summary of our time together and lots of cute pictures! I will let you know when I’m on my way, and when I have left. *currently not available for reoccurring bookings •Drop-ins… You’ll receive a report of our time together complete with plenty of pictures of your pet! I will let you know when I’m on my way, and when I have left. *currently not available for reoccurring bookings •House-sits… This service includes feedings, playtime, walks, cuddles, sleeping in the home with your pet and medications (if needed. Extra charge may apply for extra work, ie sub q fluids, etc)! You’ll receive detailed maps of our walk routes, updates throughout the day to maintain your peace of mind, and plenty of cute pictures. I have quite the soft spot for senior pups and dogs who may take a bit more patience and time to work with. If your dog has some behaviors and your worried you won’t find a walker/sitter comfortable with working with those behaviors, worry no more! I’ve always been drawn to the “more difficult” pets, and most of my own pets have required extensive patience and understanding since nearly all of them were previously abused rescues. Whether your dog is a barker, a jumper, bipolar, very fearful, or whatever they may be dealing with, please reach out. These animals deserve a walker who is willing to take the time to understand them and make them comfortable. It is always my pleasure to do just that. If you’re seeking a walker who will continue you’re training while on a walk so you don’t lose any progress, I’m you’re girl! Consistency is so important. •My background... I’m third generation animal rescue—my aunt worked with wildlife, my grandma with farm animals, and my mom worked with domestic animals like dogs, cats, birds and rabbits. I've worked with animals as a volunteer at a shelters and rehabs, as well as in my own home. I have experience with dogs/puppies of all sizes and temperaments, cats/kittens both docile and feral, birds such as cockatoos and parakeets, a variety of reptiles, small animals like rabbits/Guinea pigs/mice, and more. So whatever pet you have—unless it’s a centipede—I’m happy to care for! I have experience with and know how to deal with many health issues in dogs and sudden medical emergencies such as bite wounds, needing to make a dog vomit, etc. I am also comfortable with dogs who have diabetes, need regular fluids, medications, or have special care instructions that you need to know will be done accurately.

Reviews

This is our 2nd time/visit with Rachel. We live over 300 miles away and I was hoping she would be available to watch our Taco again. Rachel met us beforehand to reintroduce herself to Taco. We needed her for a drop in visit while we visited Disneyland. Once again I was impressed with her kindess towards Taco. She waited for him to warm up to her which I love. Once he warmed up there was play time, which is favorite time, then outside to stretch his legs! I received several pictures, candid pictures, of him playing and his outdoor time. Taco had a nice walk. I know this because she sent a map of their walk! I'm glad that I did not hesitate to contact Rachel. I must admit, I was holding my breath till I received confirmation that she was available!! We love Rachel and I can't wait to re book again!! Thank you so much! ❤️

Rachael was the BEST cat sitter I basically could have imagined. Our cat, Lucy, is extremely shy and we've had other cat sitters that she never came out of hiding for, but from Day 1, she and Rachael were besties! To say I was pleased is an understatement. Her daily updates, photos and occasional videos were also a total delight. As far as I'm concerned, Rachael is the best of the best!

There is a reason why Rachael has 5stars. I'm so grateful I found her. I have a trauma rescue baby who has his "moods" with being a little barkey and bitey, while at the same time being lovable and hilarious. Rachael gets him; she understands him, and she is gentle and patient, not offended if he tries to nip at her. He LOVES her. She just spent the weekend with him at my place, so I could get away for the first time without him, and everything was perfect when I arrived back home. The detailed updates while I was gone were AMAZING. I had zero anxiety while I was gone. Thank you, Rachael!


As always rachel was amazing!! She’s very communicative letting you know when she’s heading over, there, and what’s going on. Our cats had some incidents and she took care of them. She also spends time playing with them- one of our cats is more shy with strangers and she even got him out. We’re so grateful we found her as a sitter!!
