Dog and Cat Extraordinaire

Pet care experience

I specialize in cats, but enjoy caring for well-behaved dogs of all sizes. I have also cared for fish, birds, chickens, and other small animals. I have experience in oral, transdermal, and injection meds as well as sub Q fluids. I’ve been Petsitting professionally for 8 years and have cared for my own dogs and cats my entire life. I volunteer with the Oregon Humane Society and foster when I am able.

Rachel saved the day and was able to swing by on last minute notice to take care of my cat! I appreciate her responsiveness, willingness to help, and kindness to my furry friend! When you’re 3000 miles away from your pet, it’s great to have someone who’s reliable and quick to respond.

I’m grateful for Rachael helping me with a last minute request to check on my cat and give him undivided attention! She was timely and communicative. I know my cat appreciated the play time and I appreciated the help to keep my kitty happy.

As always, Rachael took great care of my kitties while I was gone. she is really an expert in taking care of cats. I have switched my cats to a raw diet. Rachael not only was okay with that but also did more than what I had asked her and washed the food jars and left everything clean. Thank you, Rachael.

My two cats and I are very blessed to have Rachael. I had to travel out of the country and was away from home for over a month. Rachael did kindly agree to rebook three times with short notice every time I had to postpone my return. I know my kittens love her and feel comfortable with her. She even bought wheatgrass for them as she knew they would love it. Thank you, Rachael. We all love and appreciate you. Mojgam, Rain, and River

Any behavioral issues, how they walk on a leash or harness, favorite treats, any known medical issues or allergies. I am not able to accept any dogs with aggression issues at this time. Please also let me know about any entry/parking restrictions for your residence.

A typical day

I always change up the walking route so there will be new smells and sights for your dog to enjoy. Depending on temperment, I tend to walk through parks so there is always exciting things to see and smell. Due to health restrictions, I am not able to jog or run your pet at this time.
