Rachel's an animal lover who grew up with dogs, birds, rabbits, and cats! She's been watching dogs and cats through Rover since 2016 (over 1000+), and has been doing it full-time since 2021. She's also helped clients with their chickens, fish (including koi and turtles), checked their mail while on a house visit, and also watered plants (she loves gardening). Rachel cares for pets the same way she cares for her own, and she'll send daily photo updates so you know how your furry child is doing! Rachel does have a day job, but she works 100% remote, which allows her the flexibility to watch your pup (or pups). While Rachel does accept housesitting requests, she typically won't have the availability to stay overnight, because she does have her own pup that she needs to be with overnight. She would be happy to discuss housesitting needs for your doggo or kitty (or other animal). Inside a client's home, she's respectful of all the rules, and Rachel will follow the schedule that you need for your doggo. Rachel will check in with you at the time of booking to make sure everyone is on the same page with the needs of your pet! She looks forward to meeting you and your furry family member or members! *** A few notes... 1. Due to COVID (and now in the post-COVID world), Rachel doesn't do inside tours of her home. She's very happy to do a meet and greet outside in the courtyard and send pictures of the inside! You can also see inside photos from past clients on our profile as well! 2. Other than food/treats, Rachel has everything else here for your pup (including extra bowls)! She kindly asks that if you do want to bring your pup's bowls, please make sure they are not ceramic (or anything that's breakable). Plastic or stainless steel is totally fine. 3. She would prefer pick up or drop off times to be later than 7 am. But if you really need something earlier than that, she's willing to make an exception.
