I absolutely love dogs
Pet care experience
My name is Rachel and I absolutely love animals. I view them as children and they should always be treated like family. I also love to travel, listen to music, and take pictures of everyone and everything. I've house sat and dog sat for the last ten years and have taken care of all types of animals: dogs, cats, horses, chicken, fish, and frogs. I believe that the best houses have loving and loyal dogs to come home to each and every night. It also helps if they like to cuddle in bed! I also view giving dogs walks as a great form of exercise and a reason to get outside each and every day. I hope that you'll trust me with your loved ones well being and I look forward to looking after your four-legged friends. I have a full time 9-5 job with some nights on call. I will be honest upfront about my schedule and will try and work with you to find adequate time to spend time with your pets. My fees are based off of 1 dog math but I am happy to discuss additional pets (cats, fish, ect.) I believe that safety and trust are extremely important to both the pet and to the sitter. I will try and learn everything that I can about your pet during our meet and greet and will stay in constant touch with you while you're away (photos included)
Reviews
Great experience with Rachel and would without hesitation use her again.
Rachel was excellent with my puppy. She was very comfortable with her. Rachel took the time to learn about her routine and kept to it. I found Rachel to be very reliable and responsible, and really good about following the detailed instructions of a nervous puppy mom. I definitely recommend her and will be using her again.
Rachel was wonderful with Hank! We appreciated her easygoing demeanor and flexibility around our schedule. Most importantly, Hank had a great time! We'd definitely reach out to Rachel again if we're in the area!
Rachel was the ideal person to watch our elderly dog and housesit for us. She kept in touch with us throughout our absence and was extremely responsible and caring. We highly recommend her and plan to ask her to sit for us again whenever we are in need of someone to watch over our beloved dog and home.
