Highlights
Pet care experience
More Snuggles, Less Stress
With over 35 years of hands-on experience caring for animals, I know that pets aren’t just pets — they’re family. From feeding and exercising to snuggles and playtime, I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals and understanding what keeps them happy and healthy. I currently share my home with two dogs and one cat, so I know the daily routines, quirks, and unconditional love that come with being a devoted pet parent. Beyond my own furry crew, I also volunteer several times a week at the City of Pearland Animal Shelter, giving back to animals in need and gaining even more experience working with a variety of personalities, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, play sessions, or quiet companionship, I provide reliable, loving care so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide personalized, loving care for pets whether in my home or in a client’s home. For pets in my home, I ensure they are fed on schedule, given plenty of exercise, socialization, and playtime, and receive lots of attention and affection in a safe and comfortable environment. Large yard that is fenced on all sides. I maintain routines similar to what the pet is used to, so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely — from feeding and walks to playtime and administering any medications. I also make sure to maintain a clean, safe environment, check on plants, mail, and other household tasks if requested, and provide updates so owners feel connected while they’re away. Whether in my home or yours, my focus is always on creating a stress-free, joyful experience for your pets, making them feel loved, safe, and well-cared-for.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel went above and beyond to make sure our 4 legged "son" was well cared for. She made sure JigSaw was loved. The pics we received showed he was happy and not feeling abandoned by his owners. I would highly recommend her and definitely use her services again.
Rachel was awesome took plenty of pics and informed updates on reports. Very happy she took very well care of my dogs.
Rachel was absolutely amazing with our dogs! One of our pups can be shy at first, but she worked with him to bring out of his shell and keep him happy while we were away. Our other pup is a senior that needs extra love and she provided just that. I genuinely couldn’t provide a more glowing positive review for her overall service, communication, relatability and treatment of our babies!
I can't recommend Rachel highly enough. She has a genuine love for dogs and it shows in everything she does. She not only enjoys caring for them but also goes above and beyond to make sure each dog feels safe, loved and well taken care of. Rachel volunteers regularly at her local shelter, giving her time and energy to help dogs in need, and she treats every animal with patience and kindness. What stands out most is how responsible and attentive she is - whether its making sure feeding and walks are on schedule, noticing small changes in behavior, or simply giving plenty of affection. Rachel takes her role seriously and with heart. Any dog would be lucky to be in her care, and I would feel confident knowing she always puts their well-being first.

Schedule
Pet care is naturally built into my daily routine. Each day starts and ends with feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of love for my own two dogs and one cat. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, so I plan my day around making sure their needs are met — whether that’s exercise, attention, or quiet time. On top of that, I dedicate several days each week to volunteering at the City of Pearland Animal Shelter, where I help care for a wide variety of pets. This keeps me consistent, active, and experienced with animals who have different personalities and needs. Because pet care is already woven into my everyday life, adding in the care of other people’s pets feels like a natural extension of what I already love doing.
