Pet care experience

Housley Happy Paws 🐾

Hi, my name is Rachel! :) I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember! I am pursuing animal care full-time and have been on Rover for over two years now!! I have taken care of all different sizes of dogs, cats, and more! Currently I have a yellow lab, a chihuahua, three cats, and hermit crabs. I love being around and taking care of animals, and I couldn’t imagine my life without them! As a pet owner myself, I know just how important your fur babies are, they are apart of the family and I will treat your fur babies as my own! I would love to share my love and passion for animals with your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I am only able to do services at your house, as I have so many animals and some of them get scared of new friends! I am responsible and trustworthy of your animals and your home while you are away from your fur babies! My main goal is to make sure you and your pets are comfortable. I will give lots of attention and have many photo shoots of your pets to show just how much fun they are having! I am happy to do a meet and greet before hand as well! I am very flexible with my schedule and try to help out as much as possible!

Rachel is the best there is! My dog loves seeing Rachel. I know she is well taken care of when I am gone. Rachel plays with her at the park, gives her treats, and refreshes her water every time. We are moving out of state and I don’t know if I’m going to find someone as great as Rachel! Highly recommend :)

We highly recommend Rachel to care for your pets. Rachel stayed at our home for a week to care for our dog, Griffin. She was extremely reliable, communicative, and caring with our dog while we were away. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind. The house was spotless when we returned, and we believe that our dog was much loved and well looked after. We will definitely be asking Rachel to sit for us again and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs a trustworthy sitter.

We couldn’t have been happier with the care our dog received while we were away. Rachel was thoughtful, reliable, and truly treated our pet like family.

I was anxious to try a pet sitter for the first time and Rachel was amazing! She communicated with me the entire time and was patient when my cat Olive was hiding 🙈 Now I’m not afraid to leave her overnight!

Rachel is wonderful with Grizzly. She's friendly, outgoing, and takes very good care of his needs. She listens attentively to my requests, and is very respectful towards both myself and my fur baby. She is a sweet, kind and compassionate caregiver.

Schedule

Drop Ins: I can come make sure your pets are fed, have fresh water, get lots of playtime, go potty & clean up, address any special needs, and of course lots of pets and attention! Walks: I can come to your home and get your pups all ready for a nice, long, fun walk! I have experience walking multiple dogs, reactive dogs, strong pullers, slow sniffers, dogs in training, etc! I love walking all different types of dogs and getting to learn all their different kinds of personalities! I also make sure pups have water when coming back to the home after walks! House Sitting: NEW UPDATES!! I would be staying with your pets from evening to morning, and then be coming and going throughout the day to check in on other clients, etc! However, I would not be gone from your fur babies for more than 4-6 hours! I would always make sure that their schedule needs are met, and I will be with your pets as much as possible! (Please note: If walks are wanted during the house sitting, must be booked in addition to the sit!)
