A loving companion for your dog.

Pet care experience

*I am currently only taking bookings in Jamaica Plain.* Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I miss having a canine companion around. I am comfortable administering medicines, specialty diets as well as exercising for however long your pup needs it. Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I miss having a canine companion around. I am comfortable administering medicines, specialty diets as well as exercising for however long your pup needs it. In the past few years, I have done a lot more dog sitting of all breeds: small to a Great Pyrennes! I love exploring neighborhoods and having your pup show me around. Why I love dog sitting: I grew up with mini poodles. Since I was an only child, my pets were my siblings. I miss a dog's companionship, but I am not yet at a point in my life where I can take on the full financial responsibility of having a dog, so until then, I would love to keep yours company.

Rachel took great care of our dog while we were away. We have already booked her for a future stay!

Rachel was wonderful and attentive during her visits! My cat nubbins has asthma and I am nervous about leaving him but she did an excellent job administering his medication on time. Couldn’t be happier!

Rachel watched our dog in our home for about a week and a half while we were away. She sent frequent updates and photos and was obviously showering our guy with love. He has some separation anxiety and has never been so calm upon our return as he was this time! It’s obvious he had a great time with Rachel and was well cared for. On top of that, Rachel left our home totally pristine. I will absolutely book with her again!

Rachel is awesome. She has such a good vibe and my cat warmed to her faster than I’ve ever seen him warm to a stranger before! She seemed to take great care of him, cleaned his bowls before she left, and was super prompt and communicative. I’ll definitely be asking Rachel to sit for us again!

Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of your dog, I would like to know how many walks they like for how long, when they like to be fed, if they're allowed on furniture, what they're like when you're in your home, how they respond to you leaving your home, if they're good with other dogs/children, etc.

A typical day

I’m happy to stick to the regular routes your dog knows or go on neighborhood adventures, all the while being mindful of your dog’s comfort level. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: I will respect what you have decided on. My favorite is to snuggle with your dog in bed. Extra house-sitting services: I am more than willing to house sit as well as dogsit, so I can collect mail, water your house plants, etc. Just ask!

I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so I’d be with your pup all day those days along with weekends. I’m also available to sit Mondays through Wednesdays, but I would be away from your pup for 8 hours on those days.
