Information Rachel D. would like to know about your pet

Are they leash trained? How are they around other dogs? Are they Houdini's? Will they snoop, eat trash or eat things they shouldn't? Are they anxious or have separation anxiety?

A typical day

I'll get the full loves and likes list to please your pet! Car rides? Walks in the park? Cuddles? Hanging on a patio? I will always try to fill your dog's day with something they like and maybe try something new (with permission from you of course!). I am very active so love going on runs, hikes or walks but I can also be a couch potato or just hang out in the yard for some bird watching.

I'll love your babies like my own!

Pet care experience

I have always had a fondness for animals and get incredible joy from them. "Look at that dog!" and "Can I pet your dog?" are common phrases of mine. I had a dog of my own from a rescue for 3 yrs and a family dog growing up (he unfortunately passed away from CHF). I treated them to feel loved every single day with walks, treats, and lots of chit chat! I love all breeds of dogs and treat them as my own! I frequently dogsit for friends and family while they are on vacation and have plenty of references singing my praises!

Rachel watched my dogs and house for a long weekend. I got frequent updates and good communication while away. The pups were happy and the house was in great shape when I returned. So relieved to have a great sitter when traveling.

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.
