Pet care experience

When I was 9 years old, I passed out flyers advertising myself as a pet sitter. It worked. Ever since then, I’ve cared for animals in professional and personal settings, including working in an animal hotel for 4 years. I’ve worked with puppies, elderly dogs, Chihuahuas, Great Danes, three legged dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, extra energetic dogs, and all kinds of dogs in between, and I’m sure I will be able to handle your dog too.

Charlie stayed with Rachael and her family for a few days while we were traveling. I felt very comfortable leaving him and didn’t have to worry during our trip. She kept me updated and sent photos as well. I would highly recommend her for any doggy care needs! 10/10 !

We left Misty - our Samoyed puppy of 10 weeks with Rachael and her family for house boarding over a weekend. Rachael was very responsive on the chat. She is professional, took very good care of Misty and sent us pictures of Misty playing with her family. Misty totally enjoyed her weekend stay with Rachael and her family as I could see her happy in all her pictures and also when we picked her up. Misty got along very well with Rachael's daughter Iris and she is a delight to meet. We have already booked Rachael for our upcoming trip. :) Thank you Rachael.

Rachael was very responsive in the communication leading up to Nugget's two drop-in visits. Unfortunately, because of her two small children, she was not able to make the first visit, but sent her husband instead... and he seemed to do fine with Nugget. I didn't get any report or check in/out till later that evening, as I understand she is fairly new at Rover and still figuring out the app. But, the second check in/out, report, and pics were done well and promptly. Rachael did great with Nugget on the second visit (which she brought her little one along to), walking him, keeping him cool by putting his cooling vest on, and spending some play time with him. Besides the walk/play time, Nugget, apparently, really enjoyed his time with Rachael's baby!:-)

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet would hang around my house and walled patio, and I would walk it to my local green belt as often as needed. It can also join me and my children on our daily walks and runs on our local paved nature trail. It would not be allowed on my furniture unless it’s hypoallergenic, for my husband’s sake.
