Pet care experience
I love to exercise and interact with all types of dogs. I have been petsitting/housesitting for 10 years and have taken care of my dogs, cats, and chickens for the 18 years prior to moving out for college. I loved taking my dogs to the dog park and having a routine that combined exercise and my dogs. In my senior year of highschool I took a Veterinary Science class where I learned many useful skills including, but not limited to, CPR, how to draw blood, insert IV’s, and safely restrain both cats and dogs. I currently have lots of availability and would love to spend my time caring for your pets. I have a passion for animals and hope to pursue animal care and/or research in the future. I am currently taking an Animal Behavior and Cognition class that is increasing my understanding of why animals act the way they do, allowing me to better comprehend and predict an animals behavior and the reasoning behind their actions.
Reviews
I took an extended/long-distance trip in December and this was the first trip I've ever taken without my cat. I was quite anxious to leave him home alone, especially with the recent passing of his cat sibling. I booked drop-in visits with Rachel and she was great! I really appreciated the time that she spent with my cat. I could tell that she was very attentive and caring toward him. I also loved the selfies/pictures she sent during most of the drop-in visits. I could tell that he was happy having a visitor! Rachel also offered to drop-in on an additional day if my flight was cancelled, which was very kind. And after a long day of traveling, I came home and did not have to throw out any litter/trash, as she had taken care of it already--which I also really appreciated! I plan to book with Rachel again if I take any future trips. I highly recommend her!
Rachel was wondering during her stay with our 4 year old dog. She sent us lots of pictures, updated us daily, and our dog was calm and relaxed when we got home. Our house was also tidy and clean which was a treat! I would definitely have Rachel watch our dog again in the future!
Rachel did a great job with my dogs. She was very flexible and responsive to changes in the schedule and adapted well to things that came up along the way. It was a relief knowing that she was there with them and could handle situations responsibly, in my absence.
Well done as always! Unique is happy and healthy :)

I am not offering boarding in my home at this time but I find that animals are much more comfortable in their own familiar homes.
