Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced & loving pet sitter
Hey, I'm Rachel. I have been a dog sitter for about 5 years. I recently lost my beloved cat. I'm not quite ready to get another pet so I'm excited to love on some other pets! I am great with both dogs and cats and am open to other pets as well. There will NOT be any children or other pets in the home. I want to make sure this part is super clear: I do work in-office full time on week days so I will be away from home 7:45am-5:45pm every single week day so your pet has to be able to go that long without a potty break or visit if booking Monday-Friday. I am happy to drop in to assist with walkings, feedings, etc. before and after work. I will also leave the house for up to 4 hours at a time on weekends. I am happy to welcome a doggo into my home. I'm able to stay at your home with your pets while you're away but do not prefer it so I do have a higher price set for house sitting. I live in a safe neighborhood about a block away from the Linden Community center where they have a lovely park, perfect for dog walking. I am very comfortable with administering medications. Growing up, my family dog was diabetic. My personal cat was diabetic as well so I have extensive experiencing with giving insulin shots and other joys that came along with diabetic pets. I can also assist with small tasks like bringing in mail/packages and watering plants. I'm very happy to meet with you and your pets beforehand to make sure every one is comfortable and on the same page. Please don't hesitate to reach out and ask any questions!

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rachel has been watching Murphy for about two years. Now that he is having some mobility issues, she is the only one we trust to care for Murphy. She takes such good care of your pet and never have to worry if they’re doing ok. We have been so lucky to find her!
As in previous visits, Rachel was great—responsible, kind, and attentive. She kept us updated throughout our trip and sent us photos of Hormoz, which gave us peace of mind and made traveling much easier.
Rachel was so wonderful in watching my dog. I was nervous about leaving him for a few nights but everything went smoothly allowing us to enjoy our trip
Rachel is great! Responsible, kind, and caring. Our cat loves her.
Rachel was very good with our nervous pup. She kept us updated so we could leave him without worrying.
Rachel is amazing! My dog is very particular with people and she absolutely loved her from the first second. Got great updates and she was very well taken care of. Will definitely use her again!

During the week, I will have to work around my full time job hours of 8:30am-5pm. I'm happy to drop in before or after and am also comfortable with staying overnight or boarding.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is safe and free of any other pets. I am comfortable with no cage during the stay if your pup is manageable with this. I can also make sure they are all set up & cozy in their crate before I head out, if this is the best option for your pet.
A typical day
I hope your dog loves to walk as much as I do! I love a good excuse for a stroll in the park. Bring their favorite toys so we can have lots of play time!
