Information Rachel E. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, it’s helpful to know a few things ahead of time — like their routine, any health issues, favorite activities, and what might make them nervous or uncomfortable. The more I know, the better I can keep them happy and safe while you’re away!

A typical day

I’m all about making sure your pet feels happy and cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s a fun walk, some playtime, or just cuddling on the couch, I’ll match what your pet loves best. I want them to feel safe, loved, and have a little fun until you’re back!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my hands on experience caring for pets for over 10 years. I’ve personally raised and cared for dogs and cats through every stage of life, from energetic puppies to senior pets needing special attention. I know how important routine, patience, and genuine love are for keeping pets happy and stress free while you’re away. I treat every pet like family, and I’m confident in handling everything from daily walks and feeding to medication and cuddles. My home is a calm, safe space where your pet will be cared for with the same attention I give my own.

Rachel and her family took amazing care of a mama cat and four babies we rescued from a shipyard. She was accommodating, responsive, and clearly loves to take care of animals. Could not recommend anyone more and would absolutely use again in the future.

Rachel watched our two dogs for us while we went on our cruise for a week. She picked them up and dropped them off at our house for us. She gave them baths as well. I would recommend her for your pet needs!
