Pet care experience

Professional Cuddler

In the past, I have house sat/pet sat/dropped-in on pets, and have had my own pets. If I personally didnt have pets, my family and friends would. In other words, I love animals and they love me too! I enjoy playing and cuddling, just as much as any normal dog (maybe even more). My family dog growing up was a golden retriever, and we had him into his senior years, so I am more than happy to accommodate that extra TLC an older dog may need. I am capable of caring for and loving on your unique dogs with unique needs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am extremely detail-oriented, so I can easily follow any and all care instructions. Additionally, I am very sensitive to the energy and actions of animals; I am always aware of behaviors. This means I am able to handle or avoid difficult situations that may arise. I am more than happy to accommodate your cutest family member!

Rachel was fantastic with Emma! She took such amazing care of her while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of. She was incredibly accommodating, helpful, and kept us updated on Emma every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, allergies, or behaviors that I can account for. If you have any restrictions for your pup, I’d like to know that as well. Regarding an anxious doggo, please tell me ahead of time, so I can plan accordingly.
