Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover looking to dog walk
I grew up with a cat and two dogs, and am trusted to care (walk, feed,etc) for roommates’ pets for short intervals or days at a time. I have experience caring for dogs from 30lb to 120lbs.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love playing with cats and dogs in safe environments. I am comfortable watching out for them in dog parks or individual settings. I have experience walking multiple dogs at once.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel was fantastic. She house sat for dog for seven days. From the beginning, she was communicative, responsive, and incredibly responsible. She sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay—enough that I always knew Banjo was doing well, but never so many that it felt excessive. When I got home, Banjo was relaxed, happy, and completely himself, which honestly tells me everything I need to know. He’s a pretty affectionate little Velcro dog, and it was obvious he’d been well cared for. Rachel even came back later to take him on one last walk because of my return time, let me know when he’d last gone potty, and left him with a Kong before she headed out. Those little thoughtful touches really stood out. She also left my home spotless and organized, and I felt completely comfortable having her in both my home and Banjo’s care. Being able to travel without worrying about your dog is priceless, and Rachel gave me exactly that. I was able to be present with my family because I knew he was safe, happy, and in excellent hands. I genuinely can’t think of anything she could have done better. I’d book her again without hesitation and recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter.

Rachel is great my pup. I can tell by the pictures that Aoifa really enjoys being on a walk with her. She’s attentive, on time, communicative, and trust worthy. I will definitely be using Rachel again!

Rachel was absolutely wonderful and we would very happily ask her to watch Benji again!

Rachel was absolutely fantastic, warm and conscientious, while taking care of our two 7-month old lab puppies. They both had minor medical needs and we were very confident leaving them with her for a week. We will definitely ask her back. . . . Just hope she doesn’t get so popular we won’t be able to get her again!


Rachel was prompt, friendly and great with Ziggy.
Rachel did a great job with Lily! She is responsible and seems to really love dogs. And she sent sweet pictures!

Schedule
I recently graduate led grad school and have a flexible schedule and time to care for your fur babies over the summer! I previously provided regular care for cats and dogs in DC, and am looking forward to caring for new pets on CA. It gives me joy to interact with dogs & cats!
