I work from home much of the week, which allows me flexibility and natural breaks throughout my day for drop-in visits or extended care. My schedule includes built-in gaps between sessions, so I’m able to provide attentive, unhurried visits and stick closely to your cat’s routine. Because I’m already accustomed to managing a structured schedule, I’m reliable, punctual, and communicative. Pet care fits seamlessly into my weekly routine, and I’m intentional about only booking what I can thoughtfully and consistently handle.

Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize a safe and calm environment for every pet I care for. In your home I follow your routines exactly, including feeding, playtime, litter cleaning, and any medication instructions, so your cat feels comfortable and secure. I always supervise interactions and make sure doors, windows, and other hazards are managed for safety. In my home I maintain a clean, quiet space where cats can relax, explore, or retreat as they wish. Having fostered kittens and being a cat owner myself, I understand how to read behavior, provide comfort, and create a stress-free environment that keeps pets happy and safe.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has special needs and/or needs medication administered! I also like to know their favorite toys and treats. I will pay special attention to any specific instructions.

A typical day

I make sure to follow your cat’s feeding schedule, provide fresh water, clean their litter box, and include interactive play. I have experience with administering oral medication, grooming, and brushing teeth. I’ll be sure to provide you with plenty of photos and/or videos and any notable changes in mood, appetite, or litter box habits. And lots of cuddles (if they want, of course)!!

Pets

Therapist & Cat Sitter 🐾

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for cats through drop-in visits and overnight stays, making sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and well-loved while their owners are away. I’m a therapist full-time, which means I’m calm, attentive, and very tuned in to behavior and routines. I’ve also fostered kittens and have a cat of my own, so I’m experienced with everything from playful young cats to shy or sensitive ones. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, medications, litter care, enrichment play, and giving plenty of affection.

Rachel has been a wonderful caregiver for our golden retriever. She made sure to follow our instructions during our week long trip. She kept things in order and was a good company to our doggo. I would highly recommend Rachel as a pet sitter.

Rachel is a super trustworthy and fantastic pet sitter. She has cared for my small dog multiple times, and I know he is in good hands with Rachel. My dog is a high maintenance dog with medication needs and a stage 5 clinger, and knowing this, Rachel sends me meticulous updates with lots of photos and videos. I can also trust her to give me honest updates and will always go to her for our dog sitting and walking needs!

Rachel is the best pet sitter!! She watched my cat for a weekend while I was out of town and I knew I left him in good hands the moment I met her. She's super responsible, responsive, and it's so clear she cares immensely about animals! I recommend Rachel to everyone!!

Rachel is responsible, reliable and quick with communication. She will treat your pet as her own and be sensitive to its specific needs and routines. She has her own cat, and he is such a happy and handsome boy. I would highly recommend Rachel and her services!
