For new Rover users use the code below to get $20 off your first booking! RACHEH43298 https://www.rover.com/sit/racheh43298 Hello friends! After my sweet Yam passed last year I took a break from Rover, but I find myself missing the companionship of our fuzzy friends. I’m not quite ready to take on a new pup myself, but will give your fur baby all the love I had for Yam. I grew up on a farm and have cared for animals of all kind of backgrounds - dogs, cats, horses, sheep, goats, deer, coyotes, small mammals, birds, reptiles, and other exotic / wild animals. I have experience with disabled and special needs pets, medication management, and post surgery care. Senior animals are my true passion though! Because I live in a dog friendly building that has small children, I would not be a good fit for animals with any history of aggression against them. I’m happy to recommend others who would be able to take care of them though!

Boarding • juin 30, 2026

Rachel is an amazing dog sitter! I was nervous to use Rover for the first time and I could not have asked for a better experience with Rachel. She sent daily updates, exercised my dog with walks and brain-stimulating toys, and was mindful about keeping my dog cool in the hot weather. My only complaint is that my dog didn’t seem to want to leave when I picked her up 😂 10/10 experience!!

Rachel was so good with my pup for the week! She sent lots of photos and my dog Bernie seemed so sad to leave - it looked like he had a great time with her! Would definitely have her watch him again.

Rachel was very on top of things. She gave us such detailed reports and plenty of pictures while we were gone. She monitored our dogs eating habits and kept us up to date. Would definitely recommend her and use her again!

Schedule

I work in the office 2 days a week, so will be with your baby the majority of the time and should be able to accommodate their bathroom schedule. I may have to briefly leave for the occasional errand / run to the office. These usually last 1-3 hours at the absolute most.

Safety, trust & environment

Some information about my place: I live in a very dog friendly building on the 8th floor. There’s an elevator, so it’s accessible to all animals with mobility limitations. While I don’t have a yard, I live very close to a number of parks and dog parks. I have a pet proof patio some animals like to sunbathe on and watch the neighbors below. I have hardwood floors and rugs, so I can lay those down or pick them up if your pet prefers. There are several dog beds around the apartment, but I always recommend bringing your own so they have a piece of home. We have food and water bowls, but please bring all food, medication, special toys, chew toys, treats, or blankets your baby uses for comfort!

A typical day

My schedule allows me to be as active or couch potatoey as your pup needs. If you have a pup with mobility issues I have several backpacks specifically designed for carrying pups so they don’t miss out on the action and can get their sniffs in!

I’m happy to accommodate all the special needs and preferences your animal has, I just want to make sure I’m aware of them in advance to keep them safe and comfortable! Any special needs or behavior problems don’t disqualify your pet from my services, I just want to prepare to give them the best sitting experience. Safety is the first priority, but my goal is to give your pet their own mini vacation! If you express interest I’ll send you an extensive questionnaire to make sure we’re on the same page and I can make the best experience for your baby possible!
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.
