I absolutely love all cats
Pet care experience
I am Pet CPR certified as of July, 2023 from Four Legged First Aid. During the week I typically have meetings for my 9-5 job in the mornings. I might be traveling over Thanksgiving so might not be in town. I am not available over Christmas. I don't book more than 6-8 weeks out and prefer < 10-minute drive to your location. I live in a 1-car household and would like to be able to walk/bike/use public transit as a backup to driving if there is car trouble. I do not have house sitting available but for the right house and pets, my partner and I might be available for overnights. I grew up in a house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I had my own hamster, then a rabbit, and finally my own cat as I grew to adulthood. I’ve even volunteered at a goat rescue and raised my own goats before. I work from home in Pflugerville. I don't have any pets of my own right now and I miss the cuddles and the playtime. I've trained to volunteer with the Humane Society of Seattle and watched over the cats at an adoption site at a Petco in Factoria for six months. I’ve also volunteered at the kitty caffe in Edmonds for 9 months. I've house sat before for 3 rescue dogs, several cats, and several tanks of fish. I currently live with a mixed breed large dog (the pet of a housemate). I would be happy to discuss house sitting with you if you're interested. I do house sits with my male partner. We are both conscientious cat and dog lovers! There is no additional charge for additional cats for a house visit.
Reviews
Rachel was wonderful taking care of our two cats, giving updates and sending many pictures while we were out of town. We also had some deliveries and an issue with our litter robot that she took care of, going above and beyond also maintaining the home!
Rachel was great! She watched our spicy kitty over Christmas and did a great job even though he was very wary of her.
Second time booking with Rachel and we’ll be using her again! Prompt communication, flexible around our needs, and came back to two healthy cats. Couldn’t ask for more!
We have booked with Rachel twice and it's been great! She sends us pictures and detailed status about our cat. When we go back, everything is great and our cat is happy. One time the key fob to access the building stopped working. Rachel worked with the managmenet team to get it resolved. We really appreciate the care she shown!

I am not currently accepting requests to care for pets in my home as it is against our lease. For the right fit, I may be available for sitting your home with/without my partner who is also an animal lover.
Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
If I am not familiar with your pet (cat or dog), please let me know what behaviors I should be watching out for that may be atypical.
A typical day
I am always happy to provide a lap for cats to sit and sleep on. I love to play with cats if they want to play with me. I won't pick up cats unless absolutely necessary and avoid touching toes and bellies so that the cats can be as comfortable in my presence as possible. I will watch for signs of unease, try not to make sudden movements or loud noises in the presence of the cats so that I don't frighten them.
