I have flexibility with my work schedule and can add in visits during my normal week. Having an animal break in my day is something I always look forward too.

About Rachel B.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At this time I am only caring for pets in clients homes. I am comfortable walking dogs, providing cat play time or dog playtime outdoors. I have an suv so in an emergency that is available.
Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any specific personality traits I need to keep in mind. I know some animals scare easily, are shy or if something makes them act out. Additionally I will use any training words you have already established to help cement the behavior you have already worked on.
A typical day
Depending on your dog a brisk walk, playtime with their favorite toys or a good belly rub would keep them engaged. I like to walk dogs in their own neighborhood but will change up the path each time to keep them interested in their environment. My cat’s currently play fetch so I am used to engaging with animals constantly.

Pet care experience
I have had multiple dog breeds in my life. Boxers, Dachshund, English Bull Dog, Schnauzer, Labs, Rottweiler and a Jack Russell Terrier. I also take care of my moms German Shephard and my daughters Frenchie when needed. I am very comfortable around dogs and have trained many in my life, through positive reinforcement. I currently have 5 cats. One I have to administer asthma treatments too and 2 that get pills daily. I also have a scaredy cat and manage to keep my agressive personality female from beating up everyone else. I recently adopted a cat with 3 legs named Charlotte (her leg was broken when she was rescued) and navigated a hind leg amputation due to cancer for my girl Nelly. I am not afraid to provide your babies with the same love and care. I will wash all food or water bowls daily. I am not afraid to clean a litter box or take apart and wash a fountain. I love animals and would be honored to help with yours. I pet sit all over New York and New Jersey and am comfortable with commuting but I also have an suv. When I am attending a visit I will start the visit timer when I walk into the apartment or house. If I must retrieve keys from a doorman or concierge I start the visit timer then to properly track my full time. I will stop the timer once keys are returned. Please ensure the staff is prepared for my visit and knows I am coming. I would hate for wait time to affect the amount of time I am spending with your pets. I do book visits that are often back to back. I also don’t like to have to bother you the pet parent while you are traveling because I can’t access your home. I am also happy to schedule a meet & greet and get keys then. I can’t wait to meet your babies!

Reviews

Rachel is always excellent! Provides great updates and photos.


we had agreed to a wide timeframe for a 30-minute visit to accommodate her schedule but when she couldn't still stick to that she lied about her visit time. Also instead of 30 minutes she was in the apartment for only 20 minutes. I know these since our building extra key system generates automatic emails for key pickup and dropoff. After noticing this untruthful behavior we couldn't trust her anymore and changed our plans to return earlier. The kitties were ok but the least a sitter could do is to spend some time with the cats so that they get their social time and tell you the truth and give you the assurance that your pets are in good hands but she failed completely in that sense. I hope this review have a positive impact on her.


So grateful for Rachel's help on a last minute booking due to an unforseen circumstance. She was so prompt and helpful and save the day to make sure my kittens were safe. Highly recommend!


Rachel is the best!! Thank you!!
