Safe & Reliable Dog Care!

Dogs are my best friends and I love to make them happy! I have a lifetime of experience caring exclusively for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have lovingly cared for and trained my own two giant rescue dogs and trained two Great Danes before them. My experience includes food preparation (including raw diet preparation), minor medical care (oral medication, insulin shots, and basic first aid), basic training experience (clicker training & positive reinforcement methods), and I have worked with dogs who have special needs/physical disabilities who might need more attentive care! I am CPR certified thru PetTech and have attended their first aid course. My pets do not come with me to stays as they are lazy homebodies so I am more than happy to accommodate dogs who might be apprehensive/reactive around other dogs! Unfortunately my skills and experience do not transfer to cats as I am allergic. My goal is to provide for your dog the love and care you would give them if you were home, and provide for you peace of mind while you travel. I am also known for sending plenty of high quality photos of your pet throughout the stay! Although I love all animals and am willing to provide care for your caged, aquatic, or backyard critters, I am SEVERLY ALLERGIC TO CATS so I cannot stay in houses that have them!

We loved having Rachel sit with Lucy! It’s hard to trust someone with your pet and your home but Rachel made us feel so comfortable. We received daily updates on our dog and came back to a happy pup and the house as tidy as we left it. We have no qualms about hiring Rachel in the future!

Rachel was professional, timely, and took great care of our dog. We received many pictures throughout her stay and it was nice being able to know our dog was in good hands. Rachel will be our first contact next time we need a dog sitter!

I currently have one last week for July! If you are thinking of taking a trip and are looking for a quality sitter to care for your pets and home, please reach out to me as I do provide discounts!

Any medical information or allergens. Any training concerns or any social concerns, as well as any personality quirks or strange habits your dog has. No breed of dog is better than the other for me, but I do have a fondness for the very, very, very giant ones!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
