Information Rachel F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet's has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. I would love to know all about your pet so I can provide the best experience for them possible. Knowing what their typical routine is will help me keep them comfortable and happy.

A typical day

I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! For dogs, I focus on both physical and mental stimulation. We’ll go on walks, take time to explore all the interesting smells, play games like fetch or rope tug, and of course, enjoy some belly rubs and affection. For cats, I tap into their natural hunting instincts with interactive play like wand toys, feathers and chasing balls and thrown toys. Whether it’s a game of chase or a cozy cuddle session, I always tailor activities to match each pet’s energy level and personality. My goal is to make sure they’re not just cared for, but truly enjoying their time while you're away!

Cat care experience

I have always owned and loved cats! I currently have a cat of my own who I care for deeply. I've even built her a custom climbing wall to keep her active and engaged. I understand that cats need more than just food and clean litter. They thrive with daily play, enrichment, and personal attention. In addition to caring for my own cat, I’ve looked after the cats of friends and neighbors while they were away, making sure they felt safe, happy, and loved in their home environment. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they get the gentle and attentive care they deserve. Does your cat just love this one thing that non cat people simply don't understand, or maybe even think is weird? Maybe they like a to be pet a certain non conventional way, or get butt pats. Maybe they have a certain weird routine you have to go through to get them to eat. I'm your gal! I love how every pet has their own quirks and I am happy to see to their wants as well as their needs.

Rachel was fantastic! She stopped by our house for 5 days in a row to care for our kitties. She sent updates each day, and our kitties really enjoyed her! This was the longest we’ve left them for with drop ins, but everything went smooth and we couldn’t have been happier with Rachel. Highly recommended!

Rachel was great! We needed cat care on really short notice, and she was quick to respond, really communicative, and took great care of our cats when we were away. She obviously has a lot of love for animals and we would definitely book with her again.
