Fur mom to many, Vet Tech by trade

As a proud mom to a variety of animals over the years, I know how challenging it can be to find someone trustworthy to take care of them when I travel, work late shifts, or have other commitments. That’s why I think a site like this is such a fantastic resource for finding the perfect fit for you and your fur baby! Let me share a little about myself: I’ve been passionate about animals since I was a kid. I would often find and nurse back to health birds, squirrels, kittens, and any creature that needed a helping hand. Once I became an adult, I rescued a neglected and malnourished female Dogo Argentino, who quickly became my best friend. As she grew older, I realized I couldn’t provide her with the care she truly deserved, which inspired me to pursue a career as a Veterinary Technician. I loved every moment of my education and graduated in 2017! Since then, I've had the joy of nurturing and caring for all sorts of animals, including pigeons, squirrels, dogs, cats, and opossums—any creature that needed a little extra love and attention.ng for all sorts of animals, including pigeons, squirrels, dogs, cats, and opossums—any creature that needed a little extra love and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my top priority during every visit, from the moment I arrive to when I leave. If you have a Ring doorbell or other cameras, you might catch me double-checking that the doors are locked—just to be on the safe side! If you have a playful pet who's quick to dash through an open door or dig under the fence, just let me know. Your insights and concerns about safety are invaluable and will help me prepare for our time together. I’m here to make the visit enjoyable and stress-free, ensuring you feel at ease while we're together!

Have been using Rachel for a year now, multiple times. She is fabulous and so good to Albert, my frenchie. On time, great pics and updates like I’m right there during travels.

Rachel is so amazing and attentive for our cats and birds! She truly treats them like her own and goes the extra mile to be sure their needs are taken care of, AND commincates so well. I don't know what we'd do without her but she's been a complete angel for our family and all of our pet sitting needs, which can be a bit much. We can't ever thank her or recommend her enough!!

Rachel is so amazing! We could not ask for a more attentive, caring pet sitter who goes above and beyond! She has taken great care of our 5 cats and 2 birds multiple times.
