Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Rachel! 🐾 I’m 24 and have been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and more for as long as I can remember. Animals have always been my happy place. I grew up loving every pet I had, especially my sweet dog who was with me from age 11 to 22, and passed away right before Christmas 2023. Because of that bond, I truly understand how deeply we love our pets and how important it is to find someone you can trust with them. I’ve cared for all kinds of animals: *great with skittish/nervous animals* (specializes) 🐶 Dogs from 5 lbs to 120 lbs 🐱 Cats (from shy kittens to seniors needing thyroid meds) 🐭 Rodents, 🐎 horses, 🐔 chickens - you name it! I currently do this full-time while working from home, and I also volunteer at the HELP Humane Cat Shelter when I can. I feel incredibly lucky to get to call this my job. Every dog and cat I care for gets my full attention and affection; I treat them like my own. What You Can Expect from Me: Tons of photos and behavior updates during every visit Clean up eye boogers, bring in packages, and make sure your home stays secure Focused attention (I set a timer and limit phone use during drop-ins) Your pet’s comfort and routine are my top priority A little special gift: A digitally drawn portrait of your pet - longer visits! 🎨🐾 Policies & Notes: 🛑 No cameras for house sits ✅ Cameras are totally fine for drop-ins, just show me where they are during the meet & greet! 🚫 No guests allowed in your home while I’m working (for safety reasons, though I will accept under certain circumstances!) ✅ Very flexible cancellation policy - message me and I’ll take care of a full refund if plans change 🤝 Meet & greets are preferred, but if you're in a time crunch, just send me photos and care instructions! I want you to be 100% confident that your pets and home are in safe, loving hands while you're away. I know how much trust that takes, and I don’t take it lightly. I’ll always go above and beyond to make your pets feel safe, seen, and loved. ❤️ Let me know if you’d like to set up a meet & greet! I can’t wait to meet your furry (or scaly!) friends. booking with me you agree to a 30 min grace period - this is for if I get stuck in traffic/other factors that may make me a bit late! I do try and get there 5 - 10mins before the drop-in is supposed to start but sometimes traffic / accidents decided differently. you will be updated if that happens!
Reviews
Rachel was absolutely tremendous when we had her do three drop ins per day for our four boys over a two week span. Communication was excellent, letting us know of arrival/departures and pics of our cats and dogs with each and every visit. There were over 40 drop ins scheduled and her timeliness was A++, think she was maybe running a little behind for one single visit and she texted right away to keep us in the loop. She was very friendly in the meet and greet and our boys loved her…she’ll be our first call for pet sitting anytime we go out of town now!
One of the best!!! Thank you Rachel for keeping our minds at ease and taking good care of our dogs while we are away on this busy holiday weekend will use again !!!! You deserve 10stars!!!
Rachel was amazing with our cat! She took the time to schedule a meet and greet beforehand to go over everything and to help our anxious kitty feel more comfortable. Throughout the whole stay, she kept us updated with great communication and sent lots of photos which we really appreciated! We couldn’t have asked for better care.
Rachel is friendly and so helpful! She did just as we asked and eased our minds! Thank you, Rachel!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure pets feel comfortable with me as soon as I arrive. If they’re a little skittish, no problem at all—I totally understand! I have a very timid dog myself, so I’m especially experienced with pets who need a little extra patience and care. When I adopted my dog, it didn’t take long at all to help her feel safe and at ease with me.
Information Rachel E. would like to know about your pet
Feel free to let me know if your pet is timid or has any medical needs. Don’t hesitate to be as specific as you need—especially if they have a set routine. You and your pet are my top priority!
A typical day
For drop-in visits, I make sure to give your pets plenty of love and attention! If they enjoy playing, I’ll throw toys or play fetch with them. But most of the time, dogs just want someone there to help them feel safe. They usually curl up on my lap and nap—and yes, even the bigger dogs try to squeeze in!
