Lover of both cats and dogs!

Pet care experience

I have been around animals of all sizes my entire life. I have mostly grown up around larger breeds, like Dobermans, but I have been caring for dogs & cats my whole life and house/dog sitting for 6 years now. Dog/cat sitting was something I started doing on the side throughout high school and college. I was homeschooled and my main job was nannying/babysitting. I have cared for children of all ages(newborn-15years old) and I love it! I am now a mommy to the sweetest 3 year old little boy too! I have essentially been caring for other animals or people my whole life. I am experienced in caring for both cats and dogs and large dogs are not an issue. (They're basically big lap babies anyway!) I love animals of all kinds and always treat them like they're my own. Previous clients have told me I’m a cat whisperer, as I do loveeee my kitties! I was able to watch my child hood cat birth 2 litters of kittens. I was about 10 when I found an abandoned baby kitten under my house, we patiently waited for the Momma to come back, but she never did. We resorted to rescuing the kitten and over a period of 2-3 month I got up every couple of hours to bottle feed the kitten. This was a lot of work and responsibility for me at the time, but I was very willing and loved that baby kitten. I can promise you that your furbabies would be treated with the same love and care! They will get endless snuggles and lots of love from me. I love playing outside with them and taking them for walks/runs. I also have a dog park in my apartment complex and will gladly take them to the park daily for some play time. Please feel free to message me with any questions you might have for me. I can assure you that your fur babies would be in great hands!

Rachel was the best sitter I have ever booked with! She worked with me whenever there was a change in drop off time or pick up time and always sent pictures and kept me updated! Her whole family is amazing (including pets, too, of course)! I truly appreciate her! I would recommend her to any and everyone!

Rachel is the BEST!!! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my pups with someone. She was constantly updating me & sending pictures of my babies while I was gone. She made sure they were fed, watered and had gone potty before leaving and always was back promptly so they weren’t left too long. Our dogs loved Rachel staying with them ?

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your dog I like to know the basics. Are they house trained? How are they with cats and other dogs? I do not have any breed restrictions but your dog must be spayed/neutered if they’re being boarded with me. I also like to know they’re daily schedule as well as any medications they’re taking.

A typical day

I do work full time- but I have a doggy camera to it only keep an eye on your fur babies but it can also throw treats! Once home, I typically take mine on was around the apartment complex. We also have a dog park near by where I will gladly take your pooch if they enjoy that. I will play fetch with them and enjoy taking them to Red Mountain Park. Rather they need a lot of exercise or just need someone to cuddle with I will gladly do it all!
