Safety, trust & environment

I am very good at following instructions and will care for your dog like they're my own. I am super respectful of your animals, home, and privacy. I am happy to water plants, bring in packages/mail, and leave your house like I was never there.

Information Rachel J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet is anxious or aggressive around other dogs, people, etc. If they have any triggering noises or spots they don't like to be pet, etc. I want to make sure everyone is safe and happy here!

A typical day

Depending on what your dog likes, I'd love to take your doggo to their favorite park, drive them around with their heads poked out of my car window, or take them on a walk in mission bay :) For cats, I typically will follow their lead and play with them if they feel gracious enough to give me their attention!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Rachel Erin! I would love to have my own pup, but my current life circumstances don't allow for it. I would be honored to take care of your pup(s) and you'd be helping me get my dog fix! :) I have taken care of large, small, young, and senior dogs. I am comfortable taking care of a senior dog with a medication schedule!

Returned home to a happy, healthy, and tired pup! Highly recommend Erin for anyone looking for a dog sitter :)

Rachel was amazing! She was very sweet. She was right on time, our dog Nemo loved her and she was great about providing updates and pictures (all updates and photos were sent about once an hour, which was very frequent!). Our dog cuddled right up to her and felt very comfortable with her.

Rachel was a great dog sitter! She kept me updated with pictures the whole time and left the apartment nice and clean.
