Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusted Animal Enthusiast
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I grew up with two adorable cockapoos, and I’ve been surrounded by pets across my whole family, my grandparents had a Pomeranian and a poodle, one side of my family has cats, and the other has a cavapoo, plus a rescue dog my cousins brought into their home. Being around so many different personalities has given me a real understanding of how unique every pet is. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on long walks, playing, or just relaxing together. I’m very comfortable with longer walks too, especially from my time doing door-to-door fundraising for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, where I met so many wonderful pets along the way. Since losing my own dog last year, spending time with other people’s pets has meant even more to me. I recently dog sat for a friend’s lovely senior cocker spaniel in December, making sure he was well looked after, even when he had a bit of an upset tummy! I was mindful of his arthritis on walks and ensured he never left my side. I’m caring, patient, and attentive, and I’ll always treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise, company, or just some calm companionship, I’m here to make sure they feel happy, safe, and loved ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Rachel was super communicative, sent so many photos throughout Emmitt’s stay and was overall very lovely to interact with! We will book her again!
Rachel is the most attentive and caring dog walker. She always makes sure my dog is comfortable. Thank you for another great week, Rachel!
We honestly can’t praise Rachel enough. Phenomenal dog sitter, our dog absolutely adores her which puts our minds at ease. You can tell she has a genuine passion for dogs and the patience of a saint! Top sitter!
Rachel and my dog had another great week. Thanks, Rachel!
Rachel was really great! First of all, she’s very responsive and it was so easy to coordinate our booking with her. You can tell she really loves dogs and takes time to understand your needs and ask the right questions to ensure she provides the best possible care! On the day, she sent us tons of updates and made Albus feel really welcoming in her space. She has such a positive and lovely energy too, really friendly. We left knowing Albus would be in good hands and are planning to use her again for a trip away.
Rachel is amazing at taking care of my puppy. He had a great time hanging out with her, got lots of treats and cuddles.

Schedule
I work from home everyday so am very flexible and able to accommodate last minute! I get that life can be unpredictable and making sure your four-legged family member has the best care is a huge priority. I’d be more than happy to help wherever I can and do it with the best care, love and attention that they deserve 🐾

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
✅ Enhanced DBS Certificate I am always very vigilant and in tune with the animals in my life (a sixth sense if you don’t find it too cheesy 😂). In the owners home I take my time to make sure I fully understand your pet, their routines and needs. You know your furry friend better than anyone, therefore I make sure that we are all on the same page so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re getting the best care and love ❤️! In my own home everything is warm, inviting and safe. My flat is situated right around the corner from the lovely Kensington Gardens so strolling around the greenery is a lovely treat for both me and your pet 🌳! I also know all the lovely side streets and routes to avoid crowds if, like me, they can get a bit overstimulated!
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to tailor their day around their usual routine as much as possible to help them feel settled, comfortable, and at home. A typical day usually starts with a morning toilet break and walk, followed by breakfast, plenty of fuss, and some relaxation time. Throughout the day, we’ll enjoy walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and lots of companionship. Whether your dog loves exploring, playing fetch, sniffing every blade of grass, or simply curling up next to someone while they work, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I work from home, which means your dog will have company throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. There are always plenty of opportunities for toilet breaks, cuddles, belly rubs, and photo updates for you too! Evenings are usually a mix of another walk, dinner, and winding down together before bedtime. My goal is for your dog to feel like they’re on their own little holiday while you’re away—safe, loved, and thoroughly spoiled (within reason, of course!). I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I treat every dog as if they were my own and make sure they receive lots of love, attention, and care throughout their stay. 🐾💕
