Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & reliable animal lover🐾
I grew up with Snoopy, the only cat who could pull off a dog's name and I adored him! I truly believe that growing up with a loving pet companion teaches you how to respect animals, meet them at their level and earn their trust. Throughout my adult life I have had the privilege of having three of my own cats. Many of my friends have trusted me to walk, bathe, medicate, feed, and care for their fur babies in their stead. I have years of experience taking care of cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters, sea monkeys (yes you read that right) and guinea pigs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, medical conditions and breeds. Leaving your pet(s) in a strangers care can be a daunting experience, which is why I pride myself on providing all the trust, cuddles, love, fresh air, play and security that your pet needs. They are my number one priority, I will keep you as updated as you wish to be with pictures, videos and a summary of our activities during the day. I will care for your pet as though they are my own, they will be safe, loved and emotionally fulfilled when they are with me.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
If I have the privilege to walk, house sit or drop-in for your pet(s), ideally I'd like to meet you and your fur-baby(ies) in their home so that they know I am a safe person and that their owner(s) trust me to learn their routines and their world. I walk dogs individually or as a pack if they live together or know each other. I am fully insured, happy to keep them on the lead or off dependent on their recall and behaviour, I take my lead from you on this (see what I did there!). I will ensure they are properly hydrated, insulated and cleaned up after. I am fully DBS checked too.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is a warm friendly and empathetic lady, she really came to my rescue after I fell and was unable to walk my dog Barbara. I couldn’t be more pleased as Barbara took to her immediately and I’d say from her enthusiasm to meet up on day 2, Barbara loved every minute of her company! Rachel was careful to pitch everything about the walk to Barbara’s character so , I would be more than happy to recommend her.Thank you Rachel
Rachel was brilliant with our dog Bromo, he had lots of cuddles and was great to know he'd had some company and love whilst I was out at work
Rachel made us feel instantly at ease during our meet & greet, and she looked after our 2 dogs (and home) for 2 nights and we can’t thank her enough! She provided updates throughout our trip of their walks & what they had been up to - she lovingly cared for our girls. Would love to have her look after them again. Thanks again Rachel 🐾
I was looking for a new cat sitter as the person we had been using for years moved away. I was so happy to find Rachel, she made me feel reassured straight away that my 3 cats would be cared for while we were away. Communication was great and she came round a few weeks before for a meet and greet. Rachel send me photos and videos while I was away to keep me updated 😊 I would highly recommend Rachel and will definitely be using her services again.
The best pet sitter I have ever hired. It is very clear how much she loves animals and how much mine love her. I never worry while I am away. Reliable, trustworthy, and excellent communications!
Rachel has been helping to walk my rescue dog Marnie for the past few weeks two days a week and she has been amazing. Marnie is lead reactive to other dogs so it's not always an easy walk with her for now - but this doesn't faze Rachel she is very confident walking her and helping me to manage and improve her reactivity which is slowly getting better. You can tell that Rachel definitely loves animals, she has a very natural kind way with them and Marnie loves going out with her. I'll happily continue to book Rachel for ongoing walks with Marnie, she is a pleasure to work with. And if I need house sits in the future, Rachel would also be my first call I have found her to be responsible and trustworthy, and would have no hesitation in recommending her.

Schedule
Available for daytime drop ins and dog walking in Bristol. I'm available for local short term and extended house sitting. I enjoy exploring new areas and always find that best when I have a pet by my side.
