Pet care experience
Spending my days making dogs’ days
Hi! I’m Rachel, a lifelong dog lover who hasn’t gone a single day without a dog by my side. Over the last 16 years, I’ve cherished every moment of raising my own dogs and sharing that same love and care with every animal I meet. My pets have helped shape who I am, and my childhood dog even helped me take my first steps. I started dog sitting in my neighborhood when I was 10 years old and haven’t stopped since. One neighbor invited me over every Tuesday to meet her new foster puppy of the week, which is how I found my first puppy, Rocky. And since having one dog wasn’t enough, I adopted Sadie during my senior year of high school. Over the years, friends and family have come to me for help with training their new puppies and caring for their pets while they’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. After losing Rocky in March and graduating from the College of Charleston in May with a B.A. in psychology, I joined Rover so Sadie and I could spend more time with other dogs and make new friends along the way. I’m currently doing Rover full-time while I look for the right career opportunity, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with the dogs in my care. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dogs and will love your dog as if they were my own, I’d love to help!

Rachel took great care of our high energy lab and kept us updated on how she was doing!
Rachel was wonderful! Took great care of Trooper, he seemed to love her and her dog Sadie who is an absolute angel. She sent picture updates every day and made me feel very comfortable. Will definitely be booking again!
Rachel was awesome and sent lots of updates on my pet! I will definitely use her again.
Rachel is a very caring and compassionate caregiver for your pets. She truly loves the pets she cares for. She is young and energetic and can keep up with even the most rambunctious dogs. In my opinion, she seems to be able to communicate with the pets she cares for magically, almost like an unspoken communication between your pet and her. Rachel has done pet sitting for me while I was living in South Carolina. I would definitely use Rachel again. She was excellent.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two-bedroom condo with my 9-year-old dog Sadie, who loves making new friends. I also have a neighborhood dog park just a short walk away, where I take her to run around and get her energy out. We also have lots of great walking paths and parks around us to explore. Whether your dog stays with me or I care for them in your home, I will keep them in a comfortable routine while prioritizing their needs and safety.
Pets
A typical day
A typical day in my care usually involves long walks around the neighborhood or exploring a nearby trail. I also add enrichment by hiding toys around the house for them to find or giving them long-lasting treats that make them work a little for their reward. Additionally, I make sure they get plenty of love and belly rubs throughout the day.

- The more I know about your dog, the better! I’d love to hear about their personality, routine, favorite things, any fears or triggers, and how they do around other dogs. Also, let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or anything else you think I should know.
