Pet care experience

Happy Pets, Peace of Mind

Hi! I'm Rachel, a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet just needs someone dependable while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My passion for animals extends beyond pet sitting. I'm the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping animal shelters save more lives through technology, partnerships, and adoption support. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely care about every day. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while giving your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience. Experience giving medication, comfortable with senior pets and puppies, experience with anxious or shy animals. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I'll provide the care that's best for them. I know how important communication is, so I'll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind.

Rachel is truly wonderful with pets. She’s gentle, patient, and always makes animals feel comfortable right away. She pays close attention to their routines, notices what they need, and gives them plenty of love. She sends helpful updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and doing well. She knows how to manage special diets and give extra care to pets with special needs. She’s reliable, easy to work with, and someone you can trust to show up, take great care of your animals, and treat them like her own. I'd like to think pets feel safe with her, and owners feel relaxed knowing she’s there. Rachel is the kind of caregiver everyone hopes to find because she consistently goes above and beyond.

Rachel will make sure your pet gets what they need every day- love, walks, that pill at 7 pm wrapped in peanut butter- and of course extra snuggles! She will make sure that your pet feels cared for even when it can't be by you, and she has experience with a wide variety of temperaments and needs so you can feel confident she can support you and your furry family!

Rachel has always been an animal lover and a natural caregiver. As a young girl, she tended to our dog and cat, cared for her finches and hermit crabs, and even volunteered at a horse stable. When our dog was injured one winter, she shoveled a path through the snow so he could walk safely. As an adult, Rachel continued that compassion by fostering dogs until they found permanent homes—and eventually adopted one of them who captured her heart. Rachel is kind, considerate, respectful, and responsible. She will care for any pet with the same devotion and attentiveness she gives her own.
