Pet care experience

Pets are family 💕

I've taken care of both dogs and cats in the Philadelphia area for a few years. Having had my own senior reactive pup and I know how important finding the right person to care for your animal is. I do ask for a meet and greet before our first meeting so that we can both ensure a good fit.

Rachel was amazing. It was our first time leaving our new dog, and we were nervous. Rachel sent loads of updates and texts, it was clear Rachel had reviewed all the information about Penny. It helped so much to put us at ease while we were away. Rachel was so thoughtful with her care and we will absolutely be booking with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I will take care of your pet like they are my own. I always want to make sure your fur baby feels comfortable in my care. I'd love to hear their favorite walk routes, any specific needs, and anything else that would help make our time together the best for your pet!

A typical day

I love to take your dog out for a long walk or play with your kitties! I'd love to know your pet's favorite toy, game, treat, or walk route to help them feel more comfortable.

I'd love to know anything to help make your pet feel more comfortable in my care. For example, do they have a specific routine they follow, do they have any fears (strangers, other animals, loud noises, etc.), and anything else they are sensitive to.
