Pet care experience

Loving, responsible, consistent!

**I am on vacation from Sept 23-27, please feel free to message me but I will be slow to respond, ** Hi there! I’ve always had a deep love for animals, growing up with cats and being around dogs throughout my life. My family has always rescued and fostered pets, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals and their unique personalities. I’m a responsible, attentive, and caring pet sitter who will treat your fur baby like my own. I’m great with dogs of all ages and know how to train and care for them, thanks to my experience with my own dog for 10 years. I’m also very familiar with cats—I've had many throughout my life and know how to approach them gently and play with them to keep them happy. Let me know how I can help care for your furry friend! ***I’ve been having issues with rovers update. Please note the calendar shows for house sitting first, if you are looking for drop ins availability please make sure to select that option on the calendar. With drop ins I can usually fit in multiple in a day so feel free to message me if unsure***

Rachel is so great. I have four cats and she does such a great job taking care of them and also setting my mind at ease when I am away. She really helps me so much!

Rachel looked after our two cats while we were away for the weekend and did a fantastic job. She was very communicative and sent plenty of photos of the cats. Would definitely recommend her services!

Rachel was so great with my little guys! She always sent pics and was great with them. Even came early on occasion so they’d be able to go out before it stormed! Definitely would book again with her!

Rachel was very thorough, thoughtful, friendly, and loving with our pets. Our shy cats were following her around within a few days and our dog clearly adores her, which says it all! She was great about checking in and asking about anything that came up. I also really enjoyed chatting with her about sourdough!

It's important to know a dog's temperament, exercise needs, dietary restrictions, and any behavioral quirks ahead of time. Understanding their routine, favorite activities, and any medical conditions or medications will ensure proper care. Also, knowing how they interact with other pets or people is essential to avoid stress and ensure a smooth experience.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
