Pet care experience

Reliable pet sitting - cats & dogs

As an experienced and dependable pet sitter with a lifelong passion for caring for animals, I offer a level of service that goes beyond the ordinary. Trusted by neighbors to watch over their beloved pets, I understand the importance of providing not just basic care, but genuine companionship. I approach pet sitting with the belief that animals deserve love, attention, and respect akin to that given to family members. I like to engaging in conversations with your pet :) and ensuring they receive ample exercise and affection. I treat them like they are a little human. Expect regular updates with adorable photos.

We absolutely loved having Rachel look after our cats. She went above and beyond for our boys, even buying litter and new toys for them, and was incredibly attentive to their needs the whole time. We got thoughtful updates, and it was clear they were very comfortable with her. We came home to happy, relaxed cats and a clean space. We’d 100% book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter. 🐾💛

I can’t say enough good things about Rachael! From the moment we met, I knew my pup was in the best possible hands. She took the time to get to know my dog’s personality, routines, and specific needs, and it was clear right away that she genuinely loves animals. While I was away, Rachael kept me updated with notes and sweet photos that put me at ease. This was my first time leaving my dog, and she was initially upset about my absence—but Rachael handled it with so much patience and compassion, gently reassuring her and helping her settle in. I'm beyond grateful for Rachael’s warm, calming presence and the sense of security she gave both of us. When I returned home, it was obvious my dog had been showered with love and attention—and my home had been equally well cared for: spotless, tidy, and even restocked with supplies. Responsible, kind, attentive, and truly gifted with animals—I’d trust Rachael again in a heartbeat.

Rachel is a superstar. Went above and beyond for our pets, noting their behavior, brining them toys, did an extra visit, and adjusted her schedule to watch our kitties when our flights were delayed and we have to stay away longer. She’s the best!

A typical day

A typical day under my care is filled with activities tailored to keep your pet happy and entertained. Here's an outline of the fun-filled adventures we might embark on: Morning Walks: We'll kick off the day with a refreshing morning walk, allowing your pet to stretch their legs, explore new scents, and soak up the early sun. Playtime: Whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or simply chasing after toys, interactive play sessions are a staple of our day together, ensuring both physical exercise and mental stimulation. Cuddle Sessions: Nothing beats a good snuggle! Your pet will receive plenty of cuddles, scratches, and belly rubs throughout the day to reinforce the bond between us. Training and Enrichment: Engaging your pet's mind is just as important as keeping them active. We'll work on basic commands, puzzle toys, or other enrichment activities to keep their intellect sharp. Outdoor Adventures: Depending on your pet's preferences and energy levels, we may venture to a nearby park for a change of scenery, exploring nature and enjoying the fresh air. Treat Time: Who doesn't love a tasty snack? I'll ensure your pet receives their favorite treats as rewards for good behavior or simply as a little indulgence during the day. Quiet Time: To recharge and relax, there will be moments of calm and quiet where your pet can unwind, nap, or simply enjoy some peaceful downtime in a cozy spot. Each day I try to cater to your pet's individual needs and preferences, ensuring they have a pawsitively delightful experience under my care!
