Availability

Pet care fits naturally into my routine! I work full-time remotely during the weekdays, which means I’m home and available for morning, lunchtime, and evening care, as well as overnight stays. I also have flexibility on weekends, making it easy for me to pet sit, provide extended care, or adjust to your pet’s schedule as needed. I typically offer up to three daily slots for drop-in visits or walks; one in the morning, one over lunch, and one in the evening. Your pet can enjoy consistent, reliable care throughout the day. 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I provide care exclusively in my client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and routines stay familiar. I focus on safety, trust, and consistency by following your care instructions closely; feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household rules. I keep your home secure, respect your space, and make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection. I’m attentive to behavior changes, send regular updates, and always prioritize a calm, safe environment so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been second nature to me. I’ve been a proud cat parent for the last 7½ years, and I understand how important routines, comfort, and trust are. I’m patient, loving, and happy to meet each pet where they are; whether that’s playful energy, cozy cuddles, or calm companionship. Your pet will be treated like family every step of the way. I offer house sitting exclusively for cats, and I’m excited to provide drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as walks for doggos. Every pet I care for is treated like family, every step of the way. 🐾

Rachel was amazing and made my first Rover experience so easy and stress-free. She was super responsive, flexible with scheduling, and incredibly kind. It was clear right away that my cat would be in great hands. She sent multiple photos and thoughtful updates after every visit, which meant a lot to me while I was away. On top of that, I had a travel issue come up and needed a last-minute visit with very little notice. Rachel responded quickly and even helped take care of the booking when I didn’t have service or availability to do so. I truly can’t thank her enough. She went above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again. I’d recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy and caring sitter!

Rachael was amazing! She’s so sweet and took care of everything my kitties needed. She sent lots of pictures and made sure to engage with them along with sending a very good detailed daily update! I really appreciate the help from her and will continue to use her for future needs :)

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.
