Full-time Professional Dog Nanny

Hi, I’m Rachel- your professional pup care partner (Pet First Aid & CPR Certified as of 2/2026)! I’m dedicated to providing structured, loving, and expert care dogs in the comfort of their own home. Think of me less as a sitter and more as your dog's personal nanny, focused on maintaining their routine and wellbeing for ultimate peace of mind. Families trust me for attentive daytime care and reliable overnight stays. As someone who's used Rover on both coasts as a sitter and a dog mom, I understand how important it is to know your dog is in safe, loving, and detail-oriented hands. I specialize in dogs with routines, quirks, and big feelings—because I live with one (Silas)! I'm experienced with senior pups, dogs with medical needs (like Cushing's, hearing loss, or allergies), and dogs who just need a little extra understanding. I follow care instructions to the letter, send frame-worthy photo updates, and prioritize emotional well-being as much as physical care. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet to discuss your dog nanny needs! ℹ️ PLEASE NOTE: Late bookings/less than 24h are subject to a fee (This helps ensure a safe, prepared, and welcoming environment for all pups)

Rachel is amazing. She took such great care of our two furbabies while we were away. Updates several times a day. She is creative and very organized. Highly recommend her.

10/10 – Couldn’t Recommend Rachel More We were going away for a long weekend and needed to find a sitter who truly cared and was willing to put in the time to help our dog with separation anxiety feel comfortable. This was also a huge step for us, as we had never left our dog overnight with anyone other than family. From the very beginning, Rachel went above and beyond. She first scheduled a video chat with us to fully understand our dog’s needs and make sure she was the right fit. From there, she came 1–2 times a week for two months for hour-long visits to build trust and familiarity. Our dog does not like strangers, but Rachel had her warming up within the first month and continued working on our dog’s comfort and confidence right up until our stay. By the time we left, we felt completely confident they would do great together—and they did. We received updates three times a day with photos and videos, which gave us so much peace of mind. Each day, our pup seemed to warm up more and more to her. Rachel even set up enrichment activities and went above and beyond in every way. On top of that, she also left our house spotless. Rachel is completely trustworthy, a true animal lover, and someone who puts extra time, love, and care into her clients and their pets. We are so grateful to have found her and wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Highly, highly recommend!
