When I’m in a client’s home, I’m very respectful of their space and make it a priority to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully — from feeding and medications to preferred walking routes and house rules. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

Information Rachael R. would like to know about your pet

Would love to know any quirky behavior to notice, how they do on leash, and if they have a favorite park or walking spot to go to! Of course, I welcome any information about your pet that you wish to share!

A typical day

I would love for the fun activities to be taylored to each pet I work with! Whether it is a long walk around a park, or treats wrapped in a towel for some indoor enrichment - I want your pet to be enjoying their time with me!

Pet care experience

I started pet-sitting with Rover to be able to spend quality time with people’s pets! I love being outside and would be so happy to take your doggo on relaxed, “sniff forward” walks or fun little hiking adventures — whatever fits their vibe! Whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Your furry friend would be treated with love, with lots of attention, belly rubs, and genuine care. Happy to send lots of photos and check ins when your pet is with me :)

Rachael is the BEST sitter I have ever had for Charlie. She is not only reliable and responsible, but also very caring and communicative. I am very grateful to find her. I will absolutely recommend her as a great sitter!

Rachael made our lives so much easier when she watched our pets. She went above and beyond to ensure they were cared for and nurtured while we were away. She provided excellent feedback and communication throughout her time with them. We are very pleased with her services.

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.
