Welcome All Creatures Great & Small

Pet care experience

My name is Rachel and I am a veterinary student at the University of Florida. I have 10 years of experience and education with not only pet sitting, but in the field of veterinary medicine as a veterinary technician. My interests include: dogs, cats, and most pocket pets, but I’ve also cared for birds and reptiles. My mission when pet sitting is to ensure your fur baby (and you) feel as comfortable as possible and to relieve any anxiety or stress during my stay. This summer I will not be enrolled in any courses and have very open availability for June, July, and the beginning of August. During my time off from classes, I plan to explore the springs in the Gainesville area and explore hiking trails. If aloud, I would love to bring your fur babies along! I enjoy meeting new people as well and hope to get to know you as a pet owner very soon!

I currently live in a one bedroom apartment in Gainesville. Although it is small, I have plenty of room to care for your pet if needed. If you have a high energy pet I would recommend coming to your house. Dependent on the situation we can figure that out together.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the pet is comfortable around me and if there is anything I can do to make he/she more comfortable in their environment or mine.

A typical day

Fun activities would include: taking your dog to the dog park, car rides, and long walks down nature trails. If they’re aloud we can go to Starbucks for a pup-a-chino (as long as there are no known allergies)
