Pet care experience
The best care for the best pets
I have 15+ years of pet care experience, caring for horses, cats, dogs of many breeds, turtles and fish. I’m attentive, patient, and committed to making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable and loved. I have experience caring for anxious and senior dogs as well.

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on your pet’s comfort first, and I keep a close, calm presence while I care for them. I follow your routine and instructions carefully to help them feel safe and I make sure they get the attention and care they’re used to. If your pet has special needs or requires medication, I’m happy to follow those instructions closely at each visit.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is not only a cheery and responsible caregiver, but a reliable one. I like her attitude, and our pets took to her presence easily.
Rachel is an absolute gem of a pet sitter and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She grew up caring for dogs, cats, and even horses, so she brings a depth of animal experience that’s hard to find. That background really shows — she has an incredible ability to read body language and tune into how a pet is feeling, which gives me total peace of mind. What really sets Rachel apart is her patience. She takes the time to build a genuine connection with each animal on their own terms, which is so important for pets that need a little extra reassurance in new situations. Whether your pet warms up instantly or takes some time, she’ll meet them exactly where they are. She’s also well-versed in the practical side of pet care — managing medications and dietary restrictions is no problem for her, and she handles tense moments between animals calmly and confidently. Her own Old English Sheepadoodle is a testament to the loving, attentive home she creates for the animals in her care. If you want someone who will genuinely connect with your pet and treat them like their own, Rachel is the one.
Rachel did a great job with Leroy. She sent lots of photos and was super communicative while I was gone. She fed him, played with him, cleaned his litter, and took care of cleaning his nails with antiseptic wipes. He was happy and stimulated and I didn’t have to worry about him at all. He’s normally timid with new people but she was very gentle and caring. I will definitely ask her to watch him again!
Rachel is thoughtful, courteous, and goes the extra mile every time. There is no one I would trust more with my own beloved pet. You are in great hands with Rachel. She has plenty of experience with many breeds of dog, including her own sweet pup. She is an animal lover through and through and it shows in her pet sitting. Highly recommend!
Sorry, english is not my first language. Rachel has dog sitted and cat sitted for me. I can rest easy knowing that she’s taking care of my babies. My cat is neurotic and needs constant attention and has a bunch of mealtime things he needs and she took really great care of him. My dog is a menace. I was worried that he’d destroy my apartment while i was gone but rachel kept him calm and happy and well fed. I received pictures of her walking my dog and he seemed to be doing really well. She did a great job of sending videos while I was gone. I felt really reassured the whole time. Rachel has pet sit for me 5 times. I would ask her to pet sit for me again but I do not need to anymore since my dog has passed (he was 15 and had cancer) and i have a roommate to watch my cat now (he is 12 and has kidney problems).
I wholeheartedly recommend Rachel C. as a pet sitter and dog walker. She is one of the most caring, dependable, and trustworthy people I know, and she has a genuine love for animals. Rachel is patient, attentive, and always takes the time to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. Whether it's going for walks, sticking to a pet's routine, or giving them plenty of affection and attention, Rachel treats every animal as if they were her own. She's also an excellent communicator, reliable, responsible, and someone you can count on to provide outstanding care and customer service. I would feel completely confident leaving my pets in her care, and I do. I have a severe rescue PitBull named Enzo and is very weary of people and took to Rachel instantly. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and dependable sitter or dog walker.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible right now, so I can accommodate consistent dog walking/sitting on weekdays and weekends as needed. I’m available for daytime and evening visits.
