Availability

I prefer weekends to house sit, as I work away from home during weekdays. However if your pet can stay at home for about 8 hours, I’d be happy to watch them weekdays as well! Or if it’s close by I can run out during lunch to let them out. Otherwise, I’d love to host your dog at our place. Between my husband and I, they would be left alone for up to 4 hours, open to crating them or letting them roam, whatever they are used to. We had a 36 pound mixed girl who can keep company.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to stay in peoples house and clean up after myself to leave it as no one has been there. I will wash sheets after I’m done too. I love to be near your pet during the day while home and play with them in their comfort zone. I believe pets should feel comfortable in whatever environment they’re in, so we allow pets on furniture and beds if that’s what they’re used to.

Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what your pet is used to. I try to give them as much normalcy as possible - routines, schedules, comforts, etc. The more information you can provide the better so I can help your pet feel comfortable!

A typical day

I love to go for walks or dog parks. This allows them to be stimulated and play with others. I also love hiding treats and letting them sniff out to find them

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Rachel and I’m beyond excited to start this journey dog sitting! I’ve dog sat for a few families before, both older dogs and young/puppies. I love staying at family’s homes because I believe that’s where our pets are most comfortable and I don’t want to put them out of their comfort zone. However, I am also available to host your pets at our place. I love playing fetch or walks on nice days. I’m very easy going and will adhere to your rules and ways you take care of your animals!

Rachel is prompt in her responses and great at communication. Loved getting updates and pictures of Juno. Our dog seemed happy at pick up time!

Rachel took care of my aging coonhound and everything was great. Drop off was seamless. Communication was easy. She sent updates and pictures. Would book with her again!

Rachel took very good care of my 2 senior dogs with lots of health issues. She left the house clean and tidy at the end of her stay.
