Availability
I am available pretty much all day and into the evening hours. My days are routine and structured, so I would take the same approach with your pets. Unfortunately, I cannot sit overnight.

About Rachel G.

Safety, trust & environment
Making sure your pets have their needs met is my first priority. This includes feeding, walking, and companionship to keep them happy when you’re not around.
Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet
If your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of, please let me know. I can administer medication to both cats and dogs, as I do my own. Should your pet tend to have an aggressive personality, or show aggressiveness to other dogs, I will need to know this beforehand if we will be walking.
A typical day
Depending upon the dogs energy level, typically at the minimum, walks are good just to get out and keep them active. Fetch and tug are two games I enjoy with my own dog, but again it depends upon the breed and skill level. Fetch is great for those homes that have a fenced back yard. For cats, most love to play with string or even a long feather. Red dot lights are the best! No matter how old, (or young) the cat is, these tricks normally get their attention and help build trust. If a cat is scared or extremely shy, I respect their boundaries and do not cross them. Leaving a cat to come out of hiding is always on their terms, and I would never force a cat to come out against their will. I find that just making noise or talking to them from another room will spark their curiosity, and they will eventually come out. Feeding them usually helps as well.

Pet care experience
Hi! Thank you for visiting my profile! A Little About Me I’m currently a stay-at-home mom who chose not to return to a full-time marketing position. My love for animals, coupled with the importance of staying active, led me to Rover—and I couldn’t be happier to be doing something I truly enjoy! I live in northern Woodruff, so I consider this area along with those around it my specialty. Woodruff’s country roads make for peaceful, enjoyable drives, and I have several clients who live just minutes from my home. That’s an added bonus if you ever need me to check in on your pet outside of their scheduled visits—or even keep an eye on your home while you’re away. (People tend to forget to turn things off before they leave!) I especially enjoy the gentleness of kitties, particularly the playful ones, and I love going on long walks with dogs. I’m extremely cautious and attentive with my clients’ fur babies and care for them as I would my own. I also enjoy working on basic leash manners. With time, patience, and practice, I’ve found that even a dog who is all over the place can become a steadier, more confident, well-mannered companion. I believe in treat-based training and positive reinforcement as the key to building trust, respect, and a strong bond. I’ve raised dogs and cats all of my adult life. I grew up in a home that always had at least four cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. From kittens and puppies to Pekingese, Pugs, and 95-pound Boxers—you name it, and I’ve probably raised it! I’m an active person who loves being out and about, especially when it involves a walk. While you’re away, I can help with whatever your pet needs. Whether you need help with puppy training, a long walk, a play session, or simply a house check while you’re at work, I’ll make sure your pet’s needs are met and that they receive plenty of attention and companionship. Aside from animals, I love gardening, painting, and decorating my home, so I always have plenty of projects to keep me busy. I have a wonderful husband and a 7-year-old who fills my weekends with joy! I’m also happy to help with simple house-sitting tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants or keeping an eye on things. I don’t charge an extra fee for these little things. You can consider me your “house sitter” the next time you go away! I have a pet sitter I routinely call on myself, so I know firsthand what it feels like to come home from the airport and realize someone truly went the extra mile for your pets. That’s exactly the kind of care I want to provide for you and your fur babies. 🩷
Reviews
Rachel was easy to work with, very communicative and attentive to detail.
Thanks Rachel! You were great and thorough! Will be booking with you in the future should I need your services!
House was kept clean. Water fountain replenished. Most importantly, my babies appear to be happy and doing well. Rachel does a wonderful job sending many pictures during each visit showing feedings and play time.
Rachel has been fantastic. Great communication, didn’t have trouble giving my cat her pills, and just a lovely person overall. I will certainly be using her again
