Vet Tech & Military Spouse

Pet care experience

I am an experienced Veterinary Technician, working for 14 years as Head Vet Tech in Washington D.C. I have cared for canine, feline, porcine, exotics and multiple reptiles. If you have pets with special needs I am your sitter. I am available to provide walks multiple times a day. I can board a small canine in my home or two from the same family. For boarding, your canine will need to be up to date on all vaccines, on heartworm as well as flea and tick preventative. I am a military spouse with access to restricted housing. I am able to perform medication administration, fluid therapy, nail clipping, feedings, litter box and poop duty. I am familiar with home security systems, though I do not do over night house sitting I can provide mail pick-up, house plant care, taking out the trash, lights on/off and fish feeding if needed. If you have multiple dogs please schedule additional visits per day to ensure everyones needs are met. If your dogs like to walk together, my husband is available in the evenings to walk additional pets with me. I also take care of cats. After every visit to your home I will provide a detailed note explaining my visit and offer photo updates of your pets.

I have know Rachel for years. She truly cares about all animals and is especially good with dogs. Her background working at a Vet's office gives her special insight into the needs of dogs of all ages. I have entrusted my own pets to Rachel and knew they were receiving the best care possible.
