Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
I am happiest and most confident as a trusted animal caretaker when provided with detailed instructions and information about each unique pet (past and current medical concerns/issues, allergies, triggers, hiding spots, special needs etc.). I greatly prefer to conduct a meet and greet with you and your pet before you hire me, especially with overnight sitting.
A typical day
I will adjust to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I can provide engaging and entertaining adventures, but also understand some dog’s prefer a laidback walk in familiar places.

Pet care experience
I have two decades of experience caring for other’s pets, fostering cats, and walking dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have worked in a veterinary office and have experience giving insulin and pills, and reacting appropriately in emergency situations. I truly love animals and try to help them at any opportunity; I have rescued abandoned kittens, volunteered hundreds of hours at shelters, and also at various animal adoption events. I started walking the dogs in my neighborhood from a very young age to prove to my parents I could have my own dog! By the 6th grade I was very skilled at pack walks but now look forward to spending individual time with each dog on our shared walk. 🙂
Cat care experience
Rachel also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Above and beyond Walker came for a meet and greet before hand and was accommodating to my apartment’s lock situation.
Rachel is amazing! We’ve used her in the past. We had an emergency situation this weekend. We didn’t plan on getting a pet sitter for our short trip, but quickly realized our cat’s feeder was out of food. With us giving her less than a day’s notice - Rachel was able to swing by our house, meet with a locksmith, and get our cat fed!! She is the best, highly recommend!
Rachel is extremely professional in her communication, punctuality, and interactions with our household. She has a conscientious can-do attitude and was flexible about meeting the various needs of our small and fearful rescue dog, our playful large breed, and our flock of backyard chickens.
Rachel is wonderfully communicative and includes lots of great pictures with her daily messages. She played with our cat and kept him happy and healthy for the week we were away. Our cat enjoyed his time with Rachel! She also took great care of our home including bringing in the packages and watering our outdoor plants. We highly recommend Rachel!
