Highlights
Pet care experience
Cares for pets of all kinds
I have loved most animals for as long as I can remember. I am very compassionate towards animals and feel love and concern when I see a lost or unloved animal. I have pet and house sat for two families who came back to me multiple times. I am always willing to adjust my usual routine to make the owners and their furry family members comfortable. I sat for a friend once who requested that I keep their large, fluffy husky mix in my car whenever I left the house. My priority will always be keeping your furbabies happy, healthy, safe, and comfortable. Last, but certainly not least, I have two dogs of my own who I treat as if they were my own children. I am always thinking of how I would want other humans to treat them when I decide how to work with someone else's pets.

Safety, trust & environment
As I have two dogs of my own neither of which get along well with other dogs, I would not be able to care for another pet in my own home, but I am always willing to stay in another home if pets require constant supervision. I would always follow any instructions regarding pet care given me by the owners. If clear instructions are not given to me, I will ask questions and I will simply do my best to make the pet comfortable and not to change their routine more than absolutely necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel was a fantastic find last minute for a long in-home stay! My reactive medium size dog loved her and she was able to accommodate kitties as well. Would definitely recommend for those with larger dogs who may be skeptical of new comers!
Rachael was dependable and kept me posted for my entire trip.
Wonderful care as always!
Phenomenal. Rachel was an absolute blessing when all my regulars were unavailable. She was great with the dogs - including a very high energy puppy. She kept me updated regularly and was so accommodating as my plans changed last minute. It’s always a little weird to welcome a stranger into your home, but meeting Rachel the pre-visit, I knew immediately she was a kind and trustworthy person with a true love for animals.
Rachel was very accommodating for our pups! She did an amazing job taking care of them and we look forward to hiring her again!
Rachel took great care of our home and dogs while we were gone! We will definitely request her again!

Schedule
During the summer, my pet care will be my highest priority. During the school year (mid August through late December and mid January through late May) I work as a teaching assistant and must prioritize that but I would endeavor to schedule all non-work related activities around the needs of the pet and their family.
