Availability

I'm in cosmetology school night classes (5pm-10pm) right now and looking for flexible work on weekends. As of right now I'm available Friday nights- Sunday nights for walks, drop in-visits, and weekend house sitting! love animals, but don't have any living with me right now because I moved into an apartment that doesn't allow them. Every few months I pet sit for family/friends but it's something I want to do more consistently.

Safety, trust & environment

I can not have pets where I live so I can only care for your pets in your home, and take them for walks. I do not provide grooming services or training but I will gladly feed, walk, clean up after and play with your pets, but I am in the process of getting my training certification, and hopefully I'll be able to offer that too in a few months.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your animals have any special needs or behavioral issues, or if you have any special requests (I'm happy to send picture updates of the animals while I'm with them!)

A typical day

Everyday I plan to make sure your pets are being played with, pet and walked as well as following feeding schedules, bedtimes and special requests.

Pet care experience

Available Friday night- Sunday night for Summer 2026! Training certification in progress! I have been taking care of dogs of all sizes for most of my life, and cats for about 11 years. I have also cared for the occasional reptiles, rabbits and a turtle. I moved out of my family home and couldn't take my cats with me, so there aren't any animals in my home right now.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Care for Our Dogs and Cat! Rachel is an absolutely incredible pet sitter and we cannot recommend her highly enough! We left her with a detailed care routine for our two dogs and our cat, and she executed everything flawlessly in addition to communicating in a consistent and professional manner. She managed all of their specific needs perfectly, from administering morning medication to carefully weighing out kibble on the food scale to support my dog's weight loss journey and adding their specific daily supplements. She also kept up with their strict routine of four daily potty breaks at our rooftop dog park , always making sure they were safely geared up in their harnesses. Our cat was equally pampered with daily wet food and perfectly maintained litter boxes. Rachel even took the time to familiarize herself with our emergency evacuation plans , including locating our cat's carrier, which gave us immense peace of mind while we were away for the first time since owning all 3 of these animals. It is so clear that Rachel truly cares about the safety and well-being of the animals she watches. We returned to our apartment to find three very happy, relaxed pets who had clearly been given top-tier care during her stay. If you are looking for someone who will go above and beyond to treat your pets like her own, Rachel is the one!
