Kind and Loving Dog/cat caregiver
Pet care experience
I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I started dog sitting/walking when I started out as a nanny in college. Many of the families I worked for had dogs, and so naturally another position was made for me. Alongside dog sitting and walking I have volunteered at an animal shelter and walked the dogs there. I also gave them lots of love and affection. As your dog sitter I promise to give your dog the attention and love it needs while you are away! I currently live in Troy and work part time Dog sitting is something I find rewarding and love to do it on the side. I have many references and understand a dog is like having a child!

Rachel house sit for our two pups while we were away for Thanksgiving and she was awesome! One of my pups got sick the night before we left and Rachel was amazing in keeping in communication and keeping a good eye on him throughout the holiday weekend. She was great with sending picture updates and texting me if anything unusual came up. She was also extremely adaptable and had no problem with altering her schedule when the leasing agent decided to turn the holiday weekend into a marathon for showing the apartment. #reallydude?! So all in all, we probably threw every variable at Rachel and she handled it like a champ. We certainly plan to hire her again in the future.
Rachel is a GREAT sitter! She watched our large dog and 3 cats for almost a week, and did a wonderful job. She is conscientious, was easy to reach over text, and sent us pictures. We will definitely go to her with future animal care requests!
Everything about this weekend was weird. We were out of town for a wedding and left two dogs at home. Here are my complaints: 1 )She arrived two hours later than she said she would. I know this because I get an email when my keys are picked up from the pickup location. I never received the email. 2) She was still at our apartment when we came back. Why? 3) She was bleeding in the kitchen, and was JUST NOW feeding our dogs at 4:30pm. 4) The apartment was hot as HELL. We have two AC units and one of my dogs is a Newfoundland. My dog could have died from overheating. If the AC units had even been on 5 minutes it would not have been that hot in the apartment. It was obvious she had just recently arrived.
Rachel took care of my dog Kimchi for two whole weeks while I was traveling, after my planned dogsitter fell through with little notice. She was super easy to coordinate with and Kimchi loves her. Will 100% book her again!
