Hands-On Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Rachel and I've been a pet owner and sitter for many years. I currently have cats AND dogs and they are all amazing! My dogs are named Norbert and Newt, and they are both some big ole lovers. Growing up without pets in the house, I was always trying to bring friends' pets home! I also dog-sat for one particular family in high school and I loved it. Pet-sitting for me is all the joys of owning a dog only on a part-time basis. I would love to help you and your furry family out in your time of need! Be it for vacation, a new baby, work, or anything else, I can fill in. My longest running regular client used me nearly every weekend in good weather so she could skydive! This lasted almost two years until I moved out of the area. She had 5 hounds and a puppy hound! (I actually delivered the puppies. 😳) I have somewhat flexible availability to take dogs on walks, visit your home, or check in on your pet. I am also available some nights and weekends to dog sit in your home or bring your pet to my home. I have my basement set up for my dogs to have the run of it - it is the coolest part of the house and completely dog friendly! My dogs hang there while I'm at work, then we go for walks as soon as I get home. I would love to meet you and your pet in person to determine if we'd be a good fit!

Rachel stepped in after a last minute cancellation that almost kept us home for the holidays. Cooper was feeling fat and happy when we got home and not the least excited to see us. That tells me she did a great job!

My pets get the best I can for them, and I feel like I work mostly so I can pay for their food and supplements, lol. I try to walk and play with them as much as they can, and my cats have their own bedroom with a baby gate so they can get away from the dogs if they want to.

Information Rachel F. would like to know about your pet

I am open to all breeds but I'm especially partial to bully breeds! It is really important to know if the pet I'm watching has any guarding tendencies with toys, bones, or food, just so I can make sure to keep an eye out for it. My pets are all up-to-date on their shots and I'd prefer that yours are as well.

A typical day

I like to take my dogs for walks around the neighborhood, where they usually meet other local dogs, kids, and wildlife. My dogs are leash trained and very good walk companions!
