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!)

Pet care experience

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!

Rachel did a great job caring for my dog Mia while we were away for 10 days. We received daily updates and communication was quick and easy. Our house was also returned to us exactly as we left it. Definitely recommend!

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.
