Your Pets Care is My Full Time Job!

Pet care experience

I am available to provide pet care services in your home 24/7, as I don't have any other outside employment commitments. My love for animals began at a young age, and I have experience caring for a variety of pets including horses, chickens, goats, dogs, and cats. As a teenager, I used to assist my neighbors in looking after their farm animals while they were away. Additionally, I have volunteered at various animal shelters where I took care of animals and walked the dogs regularly. Now, I have two rescue coon hounds Winston and Bochephus, a sweet little Pit Bull named Pepper, and a sweet senior boxer mix named Lucy. We also have four cats: Kevin, Ferguson, Sylvia-Louise, and Harlow. My dogs are crate trained, and I understand the importance of consistency when crate training dogs. In addition to your dog and cats, I will care for your rats, birds, and rabbits. I will also care for farm animals such as chickens, ducks, horses, etc! However, I cannot care for reptiles of any kind. I would be more than happy to care for any houseplants you have at no additional cost. I have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medical conditions that require medications, including insulin injections. I am also skilled in medicating pets, whether liquid, pill, or injection. Having two hounds, I understand the needs of working breeds and the extra care and exercise they require. I have had several different dog breeds throughout my life, from Chihuahuas to Dobermans. I love all dogs regardless of breed or size!

Rachael, was FANTASTIC!! My Babette fell in love with her and hasn't stopped whinning for her yet! She went above and beyond what I was hoping for with my K9. She is definitely going to be my go to pet sitter from now on! I can finally relax and enjoy myself without worrying about my little girl being taken good care of while I'm gone on a vacation! Thank you Rachael, so glad I found you!! ♥️

Rachael was a life saver and stayed with our fur babies over the holiday. Just knowing they were in the hands of someone who cared for them as I would made leaving them so much easier. We came home and the house was just as we left it and the dogs were happy and cared for!! Will book again in the future for sure!
