I ❤ your babies as much as you do!
Pet care experience
**Rates may vary based on difficulty. **I require a meet and greet for all new clients and will not accept last minute requests unless we have previously done a meet and greet. **If requesting boarding, your pet(s) must be good with cats and other dogs, and up-to-date on all vaccinations. I have been a Rover Sitter for 5 years and counting! I love this job very much! A little bit about my experience... I have worked with dogs of all shapes, sizes, breeds, energy levels, and some health needs. I currently have a dog of my own - a stray/rescue who we believe is Australian Kelpie/Mixed. For about 6 months, my husband I cared for my MIL's yellow lab who had severe skin issues and I nursed him back to health. I also grew up with a yellow lab, who lived to the ripe old age of 15.5 years. Additionally, I have had cats my entire life. I currently have 2 who are both good with dogs, as long as the dogs are cool with them. I am caring, kind, attentive, and tend to like animals more than people. I spoil and pamper them, but I am not afraid to be firm when they break rules or don't listen. I am also a good teacher; I have taught basic commands (sit, lay down, stop, wait, etc.) to many dogs, as well as some fun tricks (shake, high five, roll over, sit pretty, stand etc.) I also understand that a person's pet is like their child. I respect rules set by owners and give their fur children all the love they deserve! I am also an actor, so I am home most of the time. I do occasionally have jobs come up last minute, but provide as much notice as possible. Other than that, pet sitting is my full-time job! Boarding: I have a four bedroom home with a fenced in yard. if your dog is an escape artist, I make sure to never leave them alone in the yard, as well as being careful entering/exiting the house. I can separate pets, if needed, though I prefer all the pets in my home to get along. I have a dog and two cats. Our dog, Tucker, loves to play with other dogs! He is very high energy though which can be intimidating to some other dogs, at first. He eventually calms down and learns when to give others their space. The cats are fine with dogs, as long as the dogs respect their space. House-sitting: Whatever you do to keep your pet safe in (and out of) the home is what I will do as well. I try very hard to keep their routines as close as possible to what they are used to.
Reviews
We can never say enough good things about Rachel! Her dedication to caring for our cat, Otis, always leaves us feeling so happy that we found her on Rover. The photos we get with Otis’ Rover Card make it clear he’s just as happy as us when she visits.
Rachel is so good with our Rocky. She is on time, dedicated, and caring!!
Rachel is on time, does an excellent job with Rocky, is complete and very caring. So thankful for her attention to our new pup!!
Rachel was everything we needed and more! Our family had a series of trips that we had to take last minute and luckily we found Rachel. During our meet and greet, our cat, Otis, was immediately comfortable with her. During our trip, Rachel was dependable and based on the pictures we received, I knew Otis was in great hands. She went the extra mile during her visits with Otis and we will definitely be using Rachel as our 'go-to' sitter. I was nervous about using Rover for the first time, but she made it all worth it. Thank you, Rachel!
