10 years of Veterinary experience!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Rachel. I've recently moved to the Gulfport/St Pete area and can't wait to meet my furry neighbors! I have about 8 years of pet sitting experience for all kinds of pups from baby French Bulldogs to 160 pound Newfoundlands! I love to take them on walks, play in the back yard, or to the dog park to run around if that's something they enjoy. There is also a very special place in my heart for senior and special needs pets and having someone you trust to care for them properly is important. I have worked as a vet receptionist for 10 years and as a vet assistant for about 2 of those years. I have the knowledge to be able to tell if your pet is in need of medical care while you are away, how serious it may be, and resources if it is something I am unsure about. If your pet is on medications, I am capable and experienced with administering those meds. I enjoy homes with multiple pets and also love cats if you have feline friends that need care too! I have 2 cats of my own as well as a sweet senior pitbull/boxer rescue!

Rachel is amazing! She keeps us up to date, sends pictures, but most of all she is so warm and gentle with our three large dogs/big babies. Will absolutely continue to have her care for our pups as long as she’s available❤️

Availability

Since i have recently moved to Gulfport, I am not working currently so I am available for drop in visits several times a day. Since i have a senior dog that requires a lot of attention, overnight stays are limited to houses she is able to come with me. I am happy to discuss that with you if you are looking for overnight stays with your fur babies!
