A second mom to your fur baby! ❤️

Pet care experience

As a biologist's daughter, I grew up in a home that was centered around a genuine love, care and respect for animals of all kinds. From a young age, I helped take care of all sorts of animals and have always thoroughly enjoyed it. I have experience with elderly pets and pets with medical and/or special needs. I have experience with large dogs on a leash as well as well as high energy pets. I currently have a small dog and cat and I would love to be able to care for more animals in my community! I take pride in my space and always leave a space clean and cozy if I enter a clients home.

We had our first weekend house sit for our dog Molly this past weekend and had a great experience thanks to Rachel! She went above and beyond out expectations. She is extremely kind, compassionate and very responsive. We would send us daily updates and pictures to make us feel at ease. She got along great with Molly and we will definitely be using her again! Highly recommend!!

Needed a last minute sitter for a weekend away and Rachel exceeded all expectations! She sent frequent updates and photos of my girl and took such great care of her! She is so sweet and professional, I would book her again and again to take care of my pup!

We couldn't have been more delighted with Rachel as our dog sitter. Her love for animals, meticulous attention to detail were evident in every aspect of her service. She truly went above and beyond to ensure the well-being of our Goldendoodle, Wilson. From regular walks and engaging playtime to maintaining his feeding schedule, to staying the night with him in our home, Rachel's dedication was exceptional. Throughout our time away, Rachel made sure to send us frequent updates and adorable photos of Wilson, which provided immense peace of mind. It was evident that our pup was in the best possible hands. When we returned, we found Wilson to be happy, content, and well-adjusted, which is a testament to the high quality of care he received from Rachel. Without hesitation, we wholeheartedly recommend Rachel's services to anyone in search of a caring, responsible, and highly professional dog sitter. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are grateful to have found such an exceptional caregiver for Wilson. Thank you for providing such exceptional care to our furry family member!

Rachel was wonderful! She took great care of our pups and went above and beyond to make sure they felt loved. She also took the time to clean up around the house when the dogs made things messy, and had fantastic communication throughout our trip. Would recommend and will definitely book again!

Let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, preferences or behaviors I can account for. I want to make sure your pet feels safe and happy in my care.

A typical day

My favorite thing to do is explore nature trails and parks nearby. I like to play games with them and make sure they’re mentally and physically stimulated so they are tired and happy by the end of the day! Also, if your pet is a snuggler, im all about the snuggles!
