Loving Pup&Kitty Mom

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 a year. I have taken care of all different sizes of dogs, cats, and more! Currently I have a yellow lab, 6 cats, fish, 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 again provided exceptional care for our pup while we were away. She gave timely updates, provided adorable photos, gave a recap of her day. She was able to understand her needs and give medication. Our only worries are will Lexi miss us or miss Rachel 😊

As always Rachel goes above and beyond! She has taken care of our pup multiple times and communicates regularly, sends photos, reaches out with anything that seems different and gives us total peace of mind when she is there!

I am only able to do services at your house, as I have so many animals and some of them get scared of new friends! I am responsible and trustworthy of your animals and your home while you are away from your fur babies! My main goal is to make sure you and your pets are comfortable. I will give lots of attention and have many photo shoots of your pets to show just how much fun they are having! I am happy to do a meet and greet before hand as well! I am very flexible with my schedule and try to help out as much as possible!

A typical day

I love to explore new areas! Your pets will be able to smell so many new places and explore along with me! I also have lots of energy and can play with your pets for hours! There are lots of fun enrichment activities I can do with your animals, I can practice any tricks, do puzzle games, etc! I also am a professional cuddler and give the best belly rubs! I am able to match whatever type of personality your animal may have!

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!)
