Rachel did a lovely job taking care of my two cats for a few days. They were well-fed and their litter was clean!

My first time leaving Moody overnight in someone’s care since rescuing him went so well. I’m so grateful for Rachel’s service! She and Moody became pals instantly and the daily photos showed it.. smiles all around. Great communication via text and calls, respectful of my home, and understanding of my and Moody’s needs (esp. with some last minute changes in my travel plans). Overall, lovely experience. Thanks Rachel! 🐾

Safety, trust & environment

I have a cat at home who prefers to stay hidden away in the bedroom when dogs are over so I can keep pets in my ~950 sq ft apartment for short periods of time. I do not have a fenced yard however, though I live in a very walkable neighborhood and am a 10min walk to the Duke Park dog park.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know in advanced if your pet has any special health, behavioral, care or dietary needs. It’s different with every pet but I’m extremely detail-oriented and can handle every case as needed.

A typical day

I feel uniquely connected to animals and have loads of time and energy to be attentive and meet your pet’s needs. I’m happy to take long walks, run and play with your dog or even just sit and cuddle with a book.

I work from home doing contract software development so I have lots of time in my schedule. I especially love short or long walks any time during the day, but am also happy to do drop-ins or overnight stays.
