Adventurous+Loving Animal Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! When I care for your pet, they become my pet. I am fully invested in your animal enjoying each of their days with me while you’re either enjoying some R+R yourself or working that 9-5. I went to university in a city where I filled every free moment I had walking dogs. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs in a variety of situations including interactions other animals, traffic, and people. I spent a year as a Rehabilitation Technician in one of the east coast’s premier Canine Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine Departments at a state of the art animal hospital. I learned how to care for puppies in perfect health all the way to our older guys that might need help up the stairs or even have their own set of wheels. I’ve worked with love bugs, dogs with attitudes, service dogs, and working breeds. Blood, urine, stool in any form, or the occasional temper tantrum do not phase me. My experience and love for cats comes from my repeat clients that I’ve worked with for years. This includes households with single and multiple cats ranging in age and needs. I love for my animals to be a part of my day-to-day, so that means adventures to the park and frequent walks. Your pet is my pet, and they mean the world to me.

Rachel was absolutely awesome. She sent me the cutest updates every day, and got along so well with my kitties - Even my shy girl was sitting on the couch with her after a couple days. It was a huge relief knowing that they were being so well taken care of. 1000% would recommend.

Rachel was amazing with dropping in on my cat while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend her and will plan to request her again when needed! She provided me with detailed daily updates and ensured that my cat was in great hands! :)

Rachel was so wonderful with our cat Eowyn! We always looked forward to her updates and we knew that Eowyn was always getting the attention and care that she needed while we were away. We recommend Rachel 100%!

We were so happy to have Rachel dog sit. She was wonderful with both our dogs and sent pictures and updates that we loved! We're looking forward to our next time away knowing she'll be taking excellent care of our fur babies !!

Safety, trust & environment

I care deeply for all pets and I try to go above and beyond for my clients. I recognize that people have had bad experiences before so to put your mind at ease I am always available by phone and will send text/picture updates twice a day in house sitting environments and after every visit in a walking/check-in capacity.

Information Rachel J. would like to know about your pet

The most important information I need to know is their food schedule and any bad habits. Even as their day-to-day has changed because you’re out of town, I’d like to maintain as much normalcy for them as possible and that starts with meal times. I also find it valuable to know any bad habits so I can nip any tantrums in the bud.

A typical day

I value the idea that a dog must be physically and mentally exercised. For me that includes play sessions and extended walks to local parks and throughout the neighborhood. I track all dog walks on AllTrails for a quantifiable account of where we went and how we did.

I currently work full time, in office Tuesday, Thursday, Friday from 6:30AM-4:30PM. For those days I am only available outside of those hours. This works especially well for my cats who may only need one/two visits a day! In a house sitting situation, I will be with the pet at all times outside of those work hours on those three days. I telework on Wednesdays and am fully available Saturday-Monday.
