Trusted + friendly + active sitter

Pet care experience

I love all dogs and would love to get to know yours! I’m patient, loving, and extremely reliable. I have many repeat clients and I’m a proven sitter if you need help with your fur baby. I will work with you to provide the best care for your dog: I can communicate as much or as little as you want and I’m always willing to learn how to care for your pet in a way that benefits both of you. I’m also an avid hiker, so I’d love to have your furry friend come on a hike or long walk with me. If you have an older/less active dog, that’s fine! I am always up for just hanging out and playing at home. I raised my now 3-year-old cattle mix since he was a puppy and I have experience with dogs of all ages, personalities - and energy levels😅 I have a full-time job Mon-Fri. My job is somewhat flexible, so if your dog needs a walk/medication/etc., I may be able to work around that schedule to a certain extent (just ask!). Reach out! I’m adaptable and would love to figure out what works for you and your fur ball!

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! She was thoughtful, attentive to our little Willowbee, sent lots of cute pics and updates on how she was doing, and flexible when we had a schedule change. She also was very kind to come over before hiring her to meet in person. ? We will definitely ask her to pet sit again and would highly recommend her services.

She did a meet and greet on her own time to make sure everyone was a good fit. Super informative during the stay. Left the house nice and tidy. Would definitely book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a pretty spacious home with a yard that is not fenced in but is a considerable distance from any road. I have a strong stake I can put in the ground that can allow the dogs to continue playing safely outside.

Information Rachel J. would like to know about your pet

How aggressive is your dog? Will he/she take some patience and love before they’re friendly with me? Any special commands I should be aware of? Anything you’re training them on that I can keep practicing while you’re gone? How does your dog do with other dogs?

A typical day

We wake up to lots of love, a potty break, and breakfast! We love walking in this house and playing is pretty much nonstop, too. I think even when dogs are alone they should have the option to be stimulated so enrichment toys are a great value for the times the dogs are at home. We love Hawk Island dog park!

Availability

I am already taking care of one dog and it’s very doable for me to take care of more than that. Many of the people I sit for enjoy having my dog, Lewis, come for the visit as an extra buddy for their fur babies. It’s up to you, and it is a decision that can be made depending on what works best for your specific situation! I get off in the evening and I like to take my dog on a walk twice a day. We love to go to the bark park when possible!
