Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in a client’s home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine the same as when you’re there. I follow feeding instructions closely, refresh water, keep their space clean, and make sure they feel comfortable before I leave. I pay attention to small details—body language, comfort level, and stress signs—so your pet always feels safe and supported.

Information Rachel F. would like to know about your pet

like to know ahead of time if your pet has any medical needs, medications, special routines, or behavior quirks so I can take the best care of them. Anything that helps me understand their comfort level is helpful—favorite treats, fears, feeding instructions, or anything that makes them feel more at ease.

A typical day

Every pet is different, so I personalize the visit. Some love playing with toys or exploring outside, while others enjoy brushing, quiet time, or just having someone sit nearby. For cats, I like to use interactive toys, cat TV, or gentle engagement depending on their mood. My goal is to give them the kind of attention they enjoy most.

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Rachel! I’m a mobile groomer @ The Groom Room in Laplata with a veterinary technician background. Before grooming full-time, I worked in animal hospitals where I learned safe handling, behavior awareness, administering medications, and helping pets feel calm in new environments. I bring all of that experience into grooming and pet care, so every pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood.

Rachel did an amazing job watching my two doggos for the week! I will definitely be using her services again in the future!

I really appreciated the quick responses and the daily pictures. The fact that M’aiq actually let her see him goes to show she is definitely a cat person. I didn’t worry about my babies once.

She was awesome, I didn’t expect the cats to come out at all and one finally did. Certainly good trust!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
