Pet care experience

Pet Lover ready to help!

I have taken care of dogs for the past 13 years and have served as a reliable person to walk, feed, and play with family & friends' dogs when they are away! Additionally, I have a cat of my own and have become very well accustomed to both cat and dog behaviors. Lastly, I have experience with several other pets such as guinea pigs, hamsters, chinchillas, ferrets, rabbits, and fish.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have experience walking and taking care of small, medium and large dogs. I can definitely have your animal return to a crate if desired, or make sure they are all set up to hang around your house for the rest of the day! As for cats, I only have experience working with indoor cats, but can definitely learn the ropes if your cat enjoys going outside as well.

Rachel is very reliable and trustworthy! Our cat warmed up to her fast and it was great knowing she was in good hands while we were away!

Schedule

I am currently a medical school student, so usually weekends work the best for me, but I can also stop by on evenings to help out if needed!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Rachael can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Good things to know would be whether or not they walk well on a leash (I.e. should I make sure they are on a short leash or can they have a little more freedom?). Also, it would be important to know any triggers that I should avoid!
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.
