Pet care experience
Your Pet Will Have a Pawesome Time!
Hi there! I am grad of New York University (BFA) and Drama Centre London (MA), living in London on the Global Talent Visa. I grew up with many pets in my life. I had never owned less than three dogs until I left my home in Orange County for the big apple where I studied at NYU. I have a huge space in my heart for animals and would love to spend some time caring for your dog(s) or cat(s). I have a great deal of experience dog walking, sitting, and boarding both inside and outside of Rover. In moving across the pond, I had to say a sad 'see ya later' to my favorite little cutie pies back home -- Dallas a sweet, sweet chocolate lab, and Abby and Bella, the cutest little cockapoos that ever were. The good news about my doggy withdrawal is that your pets will get more than enough attention, walks/runs, play time, and cuddle time. I am very attentive and sensitive to the needs of animals -- I nearly became a veterinarian before I decided to follow my passion in the arts. I am writing a feature film which means I will be home with the doggos a lot of the time, working on that project and a few other jobs I do remotely. I run a theatre production company and am in pre-production as well for a few films. I am very responsible and will take such good care of your furry friends! Look forward to meeting you and them :)
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rachel was fantastic with our 2 dogs and they obviously loved her. She sent pictures and videos everyday so that we could enjoy our holiday knowing the dogs were being well looked after. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.
Absolutely amazing from start to finish - would highly recommend.
Rachel was completely fantastic. Our nervous doggy takes a while to warm up to new people, and Rachel did a great job of winning her over quickly. We loved seeing all the photos of her during our time away. Great communication throughout. We are very grateful and will definitely book Rachel again. Thank you!!
Rachel came all the way to Somerset to sit with Winnie (who can be a challenge!) while I was away. She was terrific with Winnie, lots of walks, play and cuddles. She kept me posted with photos and videos and Winnie was clear that she had found a new best friend when Rachel left.
Rachel did an incredible job watching my pup while I was away for a week! She took wonderful care of him, kept him exercised and happy, and sent lots of pictures. It was so good to know he was in safe hands!
Rachel was so lovely with our cat, Ellie, and took care of her as if she was her own. We were constantly getting updates - videos and pictures of Ellie, some cute selfies too, and I could see Ellie had fallen in love with Rachel and her friends. We were happy that she was getting a lot of attention from everyone, and felt relieved that she was in safe and loving hands. Ellie looked like she was right at home and more than comfortable with Rachel. We're so happy with Rachel's services and will definitely be going for her again. A solid 6/5 from us.

Schedule
I am an actor, so in between jobs I have quite a flexible schedule. Currently working on writing a screenplay and other remote projects which means I will have plenty of time for your pets!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will always make sure your dog or cat is as safe as can possibly be and will confirm details with you when staying in your home or boarding at mine about what they are used to, and what will make them feel cozy and safe etc.
A typical day
Every pet is different so I will ask how active yours is of course and adjust accordingly (wont push a 12 year old dog to go on a run with me for instance!) But most often, we play with different toys and we go for nice long walks, play around at dog parks and chill out at home :)
