Availability

I genuinely enjoy caring for pets and naturally incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, playtime, administering basic care, giving lots of attention, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m organized, dependable and able to adjust to each pet’s unique needs and personality.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe and loving environment for every pet in my home. I’m a full-time dog sitter, so I’m home throughout the day and able to give pets constant supervision, companionship and care. Dogs are never left alone outside. I always supervise outdoor time in my backyard, which is fenced for their safety.

Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet

Before a stay, I like to learn as much as possible about each pet so I can provide the best care and make them feel comfortable and safe. It’s important for me to know their feeding schedule and how much food to measure out, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup etc, energy level, personality, likes and dislikes, and whether they have anxiety, fears, medical needs, allergies or medications. I also like to know how they interact with other dogs and people, are they social or would they rather have a quiet space. My goal is to make their stay as stress-free, fun and personalized as possible.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged while in my care. Depending on each dog’s personality and energy level, we spend time playing fetch, they enjoy supervised playtime with each other indoors and outdoors and plenty of relaxing time inside and outside as well.

Pet care experience

At this time I can only accept fur babies up to 25 lbs. I have been working from home, full time pet sitting for 10 years now. I started dog sitting for a friend and have expanded my business with referrals from some of my clients. I really enjoy spending time with the furry doggies left in my care. I have worked outside of my home but I find dog sitting more rewarding and I really enjoy caring for all the dogs that come to my home. I can accommodate up to 25 lbs and your pet must be potty trained. I have a fenced in yard and two little fur babies of my own, who like to make new friends. My husband and son also help out with caring for and spending time with our charges. There's always plenty of playtime and cuddling here at my doggie haven! There are times when they don't want to go home!

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.
