Pet care experience

Responsible, Dependable Pet Lover

I have dog and cat sat for many friends throughout the years and had my own pets as well since childhood. I have fostered dozens of cats and kittens through a local rescue in Orange County. When I lived abroad, I also volunteered at an animal shelter and provided dog walks and general care for the animals. I am also certified in Cat and Dog First Aid from the American Red Cross.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am knowledgeable about pets and their care. I know how to administer medication in a painless and anxiety-free way. I enjoy playing with animals and keeping them company while their families are away. I am very quick to respond to owners to update them on their furry friends at home while they're out! I provide any services that you need, but generally taking care of food, water, litter cleaning/dog walk, and of course play time and pets/cuddles :) If your pet requires medication or any special care, that can be arranged as well! I'm happy to do any small tasks around the home while you are out as well (bringing in mail/packages, turning on/off electronics, help with garbage removal etc)

Rachel did an amazing job with her first visit! She was punctual, attentive, and clearly very comfortable around our kittens. We really appreciated the updates and could tell they were in great hands. Looking forward to having her back again!

Schedule

If you're new the Rover app, feel free to use code RACHEH15072 for $20 off your first booking through my link https://www.rover.com/sit/racheh60173 As a freelancer, I am able to set my own schedule and have some level of flexibility. Taking care of pets is one of my joys, and I often care for several pets throughout the week.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Rachel can host up to 8 drop-ins per day
Some key things to know beforehand are: 1) your pet's temperament and how they are around other pets during time outside 2) the pet's typical schedule/routine (and how long they are crated/left alone) 3) any health conditions, behavioral issues, or allergies 4) any favorite toys or activities, or things to avoid
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.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
