Safety, trust & environment
I do not board more than 2 pets at a time. Though I do not personally crate, I will if it's the routine of your pet and the crate is provided. My home is equipped with baby gates and large bedrooms so I am prepared to separate without your furry friend feeling too cooped up, should the need arise. I do not have a fenced backyard. Walks will be given a minimum of 3 times a day. 4-5 walks is my normal routine, though I am happy to follow your pets cues or their routine. My neighborhood is pet friendly with walking trails and lots of shaded areas. I have a deck with a large umbrella and dog beds, perfect if your pet likes to sunbathe as mine does!
Home
Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if any concerns or preferences you or your pet has. Any anxiety, health problems, problem behaviors, ect. I will still gladly care for your animal, but I need to be informed to give them proper care. Please inform me if you pet needs constant care. I do charge an extra fee for high needs pets or if I can not leave them for a short period.
A typical day
I will care for your pet as I wish my own to be cared for. Your furry friend will receive plenty of pets, snuggles, belly scratches, and kind words! I have plenty of toys and a safe area for sunbathing. Lots of walks, play, and naps- whatever your pet needs. I am very communicative and will send updates and pictures.

Loving & communicative pit owner
Pet care experience
I have owned pets most of my life. I have extensive experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, and many other animals. I am also great with plants. I have been pet sitting outside of Rover for many years. I have a very sweet pit mix and do not discriminate against any breed! I understand the importance of trust and communication while allowing someone to care for your pet! I will always go above and beyond to give extra love to your furry friend, not just take care of basic needs. I keep a well stocked pet cabinet and bring supplies with me for sits, drop-ins, and walks. Anxiety, tummy issues, allergies, discomfort, first aid, grooming, enrichment- you name it, I'm prepared. I've handled several medical emergencies. I take the responsibility seriously. You can trust your family member will be properly cared for in any situation. Any concerns or changes in routine will be addressed with you immediately. *If interested in boarding please note that I do have a 66 pound Pit mix. He previously lived with another dog, a cat, and two toddlers. He is very friendly with absolutely zero aggression. He will not stand up for himself. I would be happy to do a meet and greet in my home or on neutral ground. If your pet is not compatible with large male dogs, please do not request this service. Alternatively, I would be happy to pet sit or stop in for longer visits.
Reviews
Would give her a 10+ if that is an option. Some Rover sitters are adequate, she cared for my girl like ahe was my own. I will always choose Rachel
absolutely amazing. i have 4 fur babies all with different temperaments and needs; they all loved her. And the constant photos and videos reassured me as well. i cannot recommend her enough.
Did an excellent job taking care of my guinea pigs. She went the extra mile to get them out of their cage and allow them to have floor time. Hope she will work for us again.
Rachel was amazing and so so helpful. We lost power/wifi while out of town and she offered to try and reset it for us to get our litter robot and automatic feeders back up and running. Will definitely be using her again!!
