Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced house, cat, dog sitter
I have experience taking care of older dogs, administering oral medications, breeds such as herders/huskies/bully. I volunteer as a dog walker for my local animal shelter and have some training on managing behaviors such as reactivity, fearfulness, etc. I really enjoy getting out for walks and activities outdoors with my fuzzy friends. For your awareness, I work in-person downtown Calgary Monday through Wednesday, but usually have the flexibility to shorten my days or trade in-office days or run back to the house midday for a walk/potty break. I work from home on Thursday and Friday, so can be available all day then to animals in my care.
Cat care experience
Rachael also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Services provided at clients' houses (pets not allowed at my apartment). This lessens the stress to pets as well if they're able to be comfortable at home while their "parents" are gone.
Ratings and reviews
It was so awesome having Rachael look after Mia for me. She was very professional, friendly and I can tell she loves doing what she does. She wasn’t able to meet Mia during the meet and greet because Mia was hiding but when she came over she was able to convince her to come out with no problem. It was great to have so many pictures sent to me while I was away as I could tell Mia was happy. She left my home very clean and even put on and emptied my dish washer for me. I look forward to having her babysit again and I’m sure Mia will be happy to have her as well!!!!
Rachael was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs. One is older and needs a bit of extra TLC, and the other is often still in puppy mode. She was great with communication and left our house probably cleaner than it was when we got there! She stayed for 3 weeks at our house. Would definitely recommend, and would love to have Rachael take care of our pups again!
Rachael took such great care of my senior dog and house for the week we were away. She sent us updates everyday, gave Chewy medicine, handled his picky eating habits and reactivity while dog walking like the pro she is. The house was spic and span when we returned. Would absolutely book with her again.
Rachel provided incredible care for my two high energy Australian shepherds! When I purchase a product or service these days I am rarely wow’s but I can honestly say Rachel wow’d me with her service. Thank you so much for looking after Mylo and Zee, I will definitely be requesting to book you again in the future!
Rachael took absolutely incredible care of my three dogs and my home while I was away. I have a very senior pup who requires extra attention and another who needs medication on a strict schedule—and she handled everything flawlessly. She followed all of their routines, administered meds right on time, and kept me updated so I never had to worry. I could tell she truly cared about my dogs, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and detail-oriented sitter!
This is my second time using Rachael and just like the first time I am so impressed and thankful to Rachael. Rachael is awesome with my pups and I feel at ease. I recieved photos and updates everyday and returned to happy pups and a clean house. You are the BEST Rachael!!!!
