Responsible, Dependable Pet Lover

Pet care experience

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.

Rachel is great! We had no issues- she was on time to our first meeting and my kitty seemed to warm to her immediately. Thanks!

Rachel is fantastic! Very kind, professional, and she provided excellent communication and took great care of my cat while I was away. He really seemed to take to Rachel right away too and had fun playing with her. She sent lots of photos and videos from her visits which was much appreciated. I would definitely recommend her!

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)

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

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

A typical day

I love to play fetch, tug-of-war, and make sure to give plenty of attention to those dogs who are higher energy. In my area, there are lots of nearby parks that are great for walks. I also love to give pets and cuddles to those dogs who like that type of attention!
