Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Sitter,Walker,& Trainer
About me: I have time & quality care to give to the pet(s) you love while walking or pet/house sitting because I'm an online college student. I have 22 years of dog, cat and other pet care experience to include pet walking, training, transporting, vet visits & pet/house sitting listed in detail below. I'm starting in the job field of Animal Behavior on completion of my college degree. My previous career of 21 years was in oceanography, & I look forward to giving your pet the love and attention they deserve. Experience in DOG CARE: In the last 22 years, on the side of my regular job, I have been trusted by family, friends and new clients via word of mouth to pet sit for canines of all sorts to include senior dogs, dogs with cancer, high energy dogs, shy and nervous dogs, a Great Dane, puppies and multi-pet households. Experience in CAT CARE: I've been cat sitting for 21 years for senior cats, cats with diabetes, cats with swimmer’s syndrome, one cat in a wheelchair, shy cats, active cats, multi-pet households, hairless cats, indoor/outdoor cats, indoor only cats, outdoor only cats & kittens. ADDITIONAL PET CARE: I also have 22 years' pet sitting experience with other pets such as hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, fresh water fish, turtles, geese and pigs. In my free time, I've rescued, rehabilitated, trained, fostered and been a pet owner to both dogs and cats in Texas, Virginia, California, Hawaii, Spain and the Kingdom of Bahrain. I have also volunteered at animal rescue and no-kill shelters in all of those places as follows: Humane Society, PAWS of Texas, Hawai'i Bird Rescue, Hawai'i Marine Animal Response, Rota Animal Welfare League Spain, and Bahrain SPCA.

Safety, trust & environment
My goal is to keep your pet(s) in their routine with the same worry-free, stress-free care as you have set up for them for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation or moving. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you. I offer pet transportation in my own vehicle as well, but I do not have boarding facilities available at this time.
Ratings and reviews
It was my first time using Rover and Rachel made sure it was a good experience. She clarified any needs for the dogs, asked what was acceptable to not cross any boundaries already set, and made sure they had an enjoyable day. Couldn’t be happier to have them watched by her. Would recommend her if you need a sitter.
You could not ask for a better caregiver for your pets. Rachel has experience with special dietary, activity, and medical needs for both cats and dogs. Maybe most importantly, as someone who served in the Navy, she understands better than most that we are trusting people with our hearts when we have to be away from our furry family members. You can rely upon Rachel to treat that responsibility with the care it deserves.
Rachel has been absolutely wonderful for our family, and we truly cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very beginning, she has been incredibly reliable, kind, and attentive—qualities that give us complete peace of mind whenever she’s caring for our dogs. Rachel is patient, energetic, and clearly loves animals. Our dogs get excited every time she arrives, which says a lot about the trust and bond she has built. She always makes sure the walks are safe, fun, and tailored to our dog’s needs. What stands out most is Rachel’s professionalism and thoughtful communication. She is always punctual, dependable, and easy to coordinate with. Anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker would be incredibly lucky to have Rachel. And as a bonus, she is a veteran. So, choose Rachel!
Rachel is a very loving caring person that I highly recommend to watch your furry babies. She watched my cat and dogs for me. She followed my instructions to the T. She did awesome at communicating with me when I would ask her how my pets where doing.
Rachel is incredibly responsible, attentive, and genuinely caring with animals. She treats every pet like her own and always makes sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Rachel with my pets and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.
Rachel loves pets, she took great care of my Great Dane while I was gone. She stayed with him and he slept next to her on the couch. I’d have her house sit, or dog l walk again in a heartbeat.

Schedule
I am available for walking, pet/house sitting, pet care, vet visits, pet transportation and moving because I'm a full-time online university student. I have my own reliable transportation to come to you, but I do not have the availability to board animals in my residence at this time.
