Safety, trust & environment

I provide care in your home so your pets can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment. Please note: I share a vehicle with my fiancé, Joseph Santiago, who is also an experienced Rover sitter. In some cases, he may accompany me or stay overnight during longer bookings for scheduling and safety purposes. He is respectful, reliable, and great with animals. Many families appreciate the added support and care their pets receive when we work together. I am always happy to discuss this in advance and can provide references upon request.

Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet

Each pet is unique, so I cater according to their specific needs. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavior I should be aware of. Let me know if they are friendly with other dogs or prefer not to socialize.

A typical day

I love to make sure your pet is well stimulated by playing with toys, going on walks, and spending time at the park. I want to be sure that they have enjoyed their time with me to the fullest!

Happy pet, happy home!

Pet care experience

Once a dog mom, always a dog mom. I care for your precious pets as though they are my own children (because they are furever babies!). I’ve cared for my own pets and for my friends/family’s pets as well. I’ll feed them, cuddle them, walk them, and keep them safe. (I can water the house plants of you need that done too!)

Rachel took such good care of our two old men pups and our house. She really went above and beyond - we didn’t have to worry about our dogs at all while we were away. We’re so grateful that we found her!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
