Pet care experience

Your pet's new cool aunt!

I'll treat your fur baby like family. I know that trusting someone with your beloved pet is a really big deal and I don't take that lightly. I take every appointment very seriously and give each pet my full attention. Does your pet have a spot they don't want to be pet or a special routine that is important to them? I'm happy to learn and accommodate to make them feel as at ease as possible. I have over 15 years of experience with caring for pets of all kinds! From dogs and cats to rats and more. I've grown up with my own pets and have had the pleasure to befriend countless others over the years. I previously worked at the local Humane Society in my hometown. This allowed me to gain knowledge on how to read body language in dogs in high stress environments. My late rescue dog, Arrow, had many health issues that taught me so much. Bless his heart, he was a handful! We learned how to give him a great life while he suddenly went blind, had many allergies, and later became a senior pup. I understand the care it takes for pets with special needs and gentle approaches.

Rachel is the absolute best sitter my dog and I could have asked for! You will not find a more kind, humble, and willing to go above and beyond person for your pet. My dog and I cannot recommend her enough 😊

Rachel did an excellent job with my pup Riley while I was gone. She was attentive and communicative throughout the entire stay and my pup was so relaxed when I got home. I would definitely recommend her and hopefully will be able to use her again!

My dog is a dog who likes his routine and Rachel did a wonderful job meeting his needs and adapting to his schedule. Nigel like her so much he became her shadow! Rachel asks great questions and is very thoughtful. We'd happily have her back.

Please be sure to let me know any special needs or care your dog may have. I'd rather know too much than not enough! If there are any spots they are sensitive to having touched, any allergies, walking routes to avoid, or if they need a slow pace. Dogs love routines so I'm happy to learn the weird little things that bring them joy while you're away!
