Loving Animal Whisperer & Caregiver
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Rachel. I am elated to care for families' beloved animals. I am an experienced animal whisperer and loving pet caregiver. Entrusted for 15+ years will all breeds, size, multiples. For one time, daily visits, extended over nights stays, with responsibilities of: lengthy walks, picking up after/litter box, timely feeding and water. Loving attention, socializing, exercising, play and upon request: light grooming, administering medicine, canine acupressure massage, cleaning the living space, animal emotional release, harmony for family/pet dynamics, and behavioral assistance. I will always communicate with you to ensure all of your pet and home need's are honored. I am glad to provide positive reassurance with photo updates while your animals are in my care. I am reliable, responsible, attentive, positive, and loving; happy to be there for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and wonderful references. I am happy to listen to your needs and answer any questions. I look forward to caring for your animals! I have a flexible schedule and share most of my free time in nature. I am happy to bring dogs for long walks in the mornings or evenings. I also meditate and like down-time, so animals like the company. Snuggles, baths, swimming, long walks, playing in a fenced in yard, laying in the grass with them, reading a book and sitting together, singing or talking with them, cuddles at bedtime.
Reviews
Rachel K. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
We were so grateful that Rachel responded to our last minute need for a pet sitter in our home for 5 days while we attended a family wedding in Washington state (our confirmed pet sitter had to cancel a week before our trip). After our initial contact, she came over the next day to meet us and Bailey. She is very personable, easy to communicate with, and was calm and assured with Bailey. We left two days later feeling confident that we had chosen a winner. While away, Rachel sent us daily photos and kept us informed about their activities. When we returned, it was clear that Bailey had been taken well care of. We definitely recommend Rachel!
Rachel was great with Ziggy and sent lots of pictures and communication was easy too! Would highly recommend!
- I didn't worry about my cats for one minute while I was away !! They LOVE Rachel - Highly Recommended

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer longer term overnight stays with animals in their home (at least 5 days- fragrance free home) or cats in mine. When I board, there are no other animals in the house.
Home
Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet
Any special needs: blind, deaf, diet, restrictions, injuries, medications or medical needs, or behavioral concerns- with humans or other animals. Needs of the home and family as well.
A typical day
I will offer your animals love, patience, and attention. Upon the owners request and dogs needs, I can bring your dogs on careful short walks/ let out in back yard, or energized adventures on the sidewalk or at a park, or to socialize with others. I will play with your dogs with their favorite toys, or valued attention- snuggles and scratches. I specialize in certified canine acupressure massage, energy healing, and behavioral assistance, helping rescue dogs and animal- family dynamics. I also am experienced caring for other animals: cats, bunnies, birds, horses, rodents, amphibians. I am glad to help water any plants, take in the packages/newspaper/mail, bring out trash and recycling, etc.
