Highly Skilled Pet Professional
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Rachel and I am a highly caring and motivated pet professional and I would love to help care for your pets! I have a bachelors degree in animal science from Cal Poly, 7 years professional experience working at veterinary clinics, and a lifetime of personal experience working with all kinds of animals from dogs to cats to birds and reptiles! Because of my extensive work in the professional field, you can be confident that your pets will be cared for with a experienced eye. Additionally, I am able to safely and confidently administer medications to special needs pets, including insulin shots, oral medications, fluids and more! I happily accept puppy clients and can help with basic obedience training and socialization. I love working with animals and their owners to make sure that you feel like your furry family member is well cared for while you’re at work or on vacation. Please let me know how I can help you and your pet!
Reviews
My cat, Phoenix, doesn't often welcome the opportunity to meet new people (she's more of a one-human cat if you know what I mean) but even so Rachel has repeatedly done a fantastic job looking over her and giving her the attention and care she needed while I was away. It's so nice to be able to let Phoenix stay in the comfort of her home without the added stress of taking her to a boarding center. Rachel has been extremely dependable and very willing to help every time I needed her—I can't thank her enough for all the help she has given me over the past few years.
Both my boyfriend and I love and trust Rachel with our 8 month old pug, Benny! We feel so fortunate to have and rely on her for dog sitting, walking or just general questions regarding his health. She even trimmed his nails for me! Rachel is responsible, trustworthy and prompt, we can’t say enough great things.
Rachel is one of very few people that I actually trust to watch my little guy. She has the biggest heart and love for all animals, so I know that my little buddy gets the love and attention that he deserves when he’s in her care. She’s also one of the kindest people you can meet and will put your mind at ease when you’re away from your fur baby. Along with that she’s got the education and experience to detect any health issues with your pup should they arise. She’s the total package!!

Safety, trust & environment
If your pet comes to my house, they will enjoy a large, fully fenced backyard and the company of my friendly dog for play time. If I am caring for your pet in your home I will always check to make sure the house/yard is secure and all their needs are met. I am also able to crate pets indoors or outdoors as needed.

Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, please let me know if they have any special needs or require extra care. I am unable to board any cats or dogs that are not potty trained or unsocialized with other dogs, cats, or small animals such as rabbits.
A typical day
There is a fully fenced park right near my house that I can take your dog to for fetch and play time. I will also play their favorite games with them and take them on their favorite walks or hikes! If you have a high energy pet that you want taken on hikes, let me know and I’ll tire them out!
