Warm and Compassionate Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm an experienced house and petsitter who truly loves the animals in my care. I've watched pets for many friends and families. I discovered my love of animals while living in Australia when I was asked to live in a family friend's home for six months to watch their aging border collie and cat. I then became a daily dog walker for a yellow lab while her primary caretaker was working; I have also looked after a rat terrier, an Irish terrier, and three labradoodles with regularity. I was a Canine Companion at my local SPCA, having completed a thorough training program there, as well as a volunteer with the local ambulance corps. I have had great experiences with dogs and cats of many different breeds and ages and I look forward to meeting your furry friends!
Reviews
Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter- our dog loved her and she kept in regular contact with photo updates while she stayed at our house with her when we were away. Great trustworthy house and dog care provider.
Rachel was great with our dogs, one being a bit afraid of humans came along very quickly. It looked like they were well fed and loved. She also kept me posted with their outings they looked like they were having fun. The house was kept very tidy, we’d use her again.
We have a very anxious/ reactive rescue dog (and a sweet cat) who had never been left with a pet sitter before and then we found Rachel. Rachel took such wonderful care of our pets and has such a loving, calming presence. While we were gone our anxious pup ate every meal, took her meds, and snuggled up to Rachel every moment she could. Rachel is very responsible and communicative and we felt very safe knowing Rachel was there. We are so glad we found Rachel and would highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter.
Rachel loves fur babies of all kinds! She came to our house to meet the dogs and really focused on them. She took such good care of our elderly dog and our puppy. Our house was left clean and our dogs were very relaxed and happy when we got home. I would highly recommend Rachel for any pet care you need.

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet
We’ll go over this when we first speak. Things like schedule, medication, preferences, and needs are all useful information for me to have prior to caring for your pet.
A typical day
Prior to caring for your pet, I offer a free in-home or phone consultation so that I can meet you and your pets and learn more about their health, behavioral traits, and walking/care preferences. I send a daily email/text to update you on your pets' well-being. A note: every dog and sitting situation is different. Rates are therefore determined after our consultation, based on your pet(s)'s environment and needs, time needed, distance, and short notice. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s)!
