Pet care experience
Fun Walks & Loving Care
I’ve cared for pets my whole life and truly love working with animals. I’ve helped friends, neighbors, and family with everything from daily walks to feedings, baths, and playtime. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes, puppies who need routine, and seniors who need a gentle pace. I’m patient, calm, and always make sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Your fur baby will be treated like family. With over 30 years of hands-on pet experience, I’m confident caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m attentive to instructions, comfortable giving oral meds, familiar with basic training reinforcement, and experienced with multi-pet households. I provide detailed updates, photos, and consistent communication so you always feel at ease. Safety, reliability, and genuine care are my priorities. I’m a mom of three and have several pets of my own, so I understand the importance of trust, safety, routine, and communication. I always show up on time, follow instructions exactly, and give your pet my full attention every visit.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on your pet’s behavior, and maintain a calm, gentle presence. I double-check doors, gates, and locks, and always make sure your pet is secure before leaving. I take safety very seriously. I follow feeding guidelines, medication instructions, walking routines, and any household rules you have. I’m experienced with leashes, harnesses, slow introductions, and handling pets with anxiety. I always confirm that your home is locked and your pet is safe before I go. I care for your pets with the same level of attention and love I give my own. I create a calm, comfortable environment and move at your pet’s pace—whether that means slow cuddles, playtime, or quiet companionship. I send updates and photos every visit so you always feel connected and reassured.
Ratings and reviews
Exceptionally caring with our senior dog!! We appreciate all the love she gives him !! Our highest recommendation!!
We are so thankful to have found Rachel! As new users of Rover, we were hopeful but uncertain. Rachel made us feel at ease, and she took such wonderful care of our little guy. She was so detailed in her care, it was obvious she not only knows what she’s doing, but she’s great at it!
Rachel took care of our 13 year old Viszla for 11 days with excellence, great care and a personal touch!! We so appreciated all the special care she gave him!! We had peace of mind while being away. Rachel communicated regularly and effectively about his eating, exercise and general well being which we appreciated so much!! Rachel is a dog lover who gave our dog so much love!!! We give Rachel the highest recommendation!!
Highly recommend! She took amazing care of my cat while I was away and gave me so much peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. I loved receiving updates and photos, and I could tell my Lou was in great hands. Would definitely book again!
Rachel was great. Pleasant to work with, arrived on time and completed the services I needed. Highly recommended.
This was my first time leaving my cat alone for the weekend and I couldn’t have been more happy with Rachel! She was super kind, thorough, and communicative with me. I will definitely be using Rachel again in the future when needed!
