I typically will have a few drop ins or dog walks during the week but besides that I will be at home (or yours) for the duration of the stay! I do occasionally need to pop in and out but it is never for longer than 1-3 hours. If your pet requires 24/7 care this is something that can be arranged!

Safety, trust & environment

I always try to follow your pets usual schedule as closely as possible. Sticking to what they’re familiar with helps them stay in their flow and reduces anxiety, making the time apart from their family much easier for them. I also have a large fenced in garden where the animals are free to roam (supervised of course) whenever they please.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet

Are they okay around other animals/dogs? Are they aggressive or reactive to certain things? Are they on any medication that I may need to administer during their time with me?

A typical day

I always start with a nice long morning walk, then home and nap time. I have a large range of toys they can use during the day, both in and outside in the garden. I am happy to walk as many times as needed, I'm lucky enough to have a range of parks nearby. I do like to introduce some fun changes to create enrichment, giving them new experiences that keep their day exciting and enjoyable. It’s all about making sure your pet stays happy, healthy, and never bored!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’ve been a full time pet sitter for over 3 years now and can't wait to look after your fur baby. I have recently had a change in circumstances and am currently WFH 3 days out of the week and 2 days in office (Tuesday/Wednesday). If there are times/dates that over lap, there is a chance I can still help out but it is all on a case by case bases as some weeks it is not necessary for me to go into the office! My typical daycare hours are 7.30AM-5.30PM on the days I am WFH but early drop offs and late pick ups can be arranged. If you would like 24/7 care that can also be discussed as long as there is enough notice! I am trained in animal first aid and skilled in administering all different types of medications whether it's pills, liquids or topical treatments. Most importantly, I absolutely adore all animals and they are the reason I love my work so much. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and safe while you're away. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out! Thank you so much for your consideration. I hope to hear from you soon! 🐾

Rachel is a beautiful peaceful person, she was absolutely wonderful and extremely patient with my little old boy, Who is a rescue from BDH and has needs. We had spoken on the phone beforehand and I explained everything about Uno, she was brilliant putting myself at ease with looking after uno. Rachel has a lot of love and experience with different kinds of dogs and has a great understanding of what the dogs needs are. Rachel is extremely knowledgeable, patient,intuitive, caring, responsible dog sitter. When I dropped him off, Rachel was ready for him and had a lovely beanbag bed ready for him, which he loved! . She was so welcoming and accommodating with all of my boys special needs and quirks, Rachel took them all in and she was not phased at all with. My boy bonded with her settled very quickly. Rachel is a very loving, peaceful, caring person and loved Uno. She took the time to get to know him and quickly understood his needs and queues for what he wanted. (This is very needed for my boy for you to get to know him.) He was with Rachel for a day and I will also be booking for uno to go for a 4 night holiday stay with her, He loved it. He got lots of cuddles and resting time together in the same room, (important for him) he loves a peaceful environment and that’s what he got being with her. He also had access to the garden whenever he wanted. Thank you Rachel for taking such good care of my boy and keeping me updated with photos and texts. We knew you would be the right person for Uno.XX I would 100% recommend Rachel for your pet babies.

Rachel is so sweet with Mabel and always send lots of lovely photos and videos for me to look at whilst I’m at work 😊 Mabel is elderly and can’t walk much but Rachel is very sensitive to this and always treats her with so much care! It’s been lovely having her a Mabel’s walker 😁

Rachel was fantastic and I cannot recommend them more. They took the time to play with and make sure my cat was happy, fed and looked after every visit whilst I was away and was excellent with communicating updates and photos. Highly recommend and will be booking Rachel any time I need someone!

I would always recommend Rachel as a 5 star pet/cat sitter. Very enthusiastic and caring. The sort of cat sitter every cat will love!
