Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & communicative pit owner
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is AWESOME! I have never left my pups with anyone in 7 years, mainly because my my female is a bit territorial. Rachel met her then did a couple visits prior to my departure date, to make sure she was a good fit for my pups. She was! Rachel is very kind and patient with both me and the pups. She has extensive knowlesge about dogs and keeps contact as best she can with daily notes and photos. I will be using her again and I HIGHLY recommend Rachel to care for.your furbaby!!
Rachel jumped in and helped watch our pups last minute. She kept me updated and I knew they were in great care with her.
Rachel was great. Lots of pictures and very flexible which was appreciated because I had to adjust my schedule several times due to a health issue. My dog seemed fine when I got home and she even went to store to pick something up she needed.
Rachel was amazing! This was our first experience with Rover and leaving our senior cat for a longer amount of time and Rachel made us feel comfortable from the start. She was very communicative throughout our trip, sending pictures and updates everytime she visited. She gave our cat pills, wet food, cleaned the litter box, and made her feel loved and cared for. She treated our cat as if she was her own. We are very happy with our experience with Rachel!
Rachel was quick to respond to my initial catsitting request. She communicates well. The cats responded well to her. Would book again with Rachel. Thank you.
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

Home characteristics
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!
Pets
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.

- 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.
