Adoring animal lover

Pet care experience

I have been around animals my whole life. Starting out with helping my father run a kennel, to dog walking at 15 and house/pet sitting at age 17. I adore animals of all kinds and sizes and thoroughly enjoy caring for them! I am comfortable with any and all animals and have experience administering medications such as oral medication or injection (ex. insulin). I understand how hard it is to leave you pet with a complete stranger and that is why i pride myself in being completely available to you as the owner so that you can feel comfortable with me taking care of your loved one. I also understand that it takes a lot for an owner to entrust the safety of their home to a PetSitter, i'd like to reassure you that i am more than comfortable watering plants, taking in mail, turn on alarm system and regular check in calls/texts. What ever it takes for you to be comfortable with me, i am willing to try and help with that. I have been Petsitting by myself since i was 17. I understand that someone else's pet deserves just as much love as i give to my own, if not more to make them feel as comfortable as possible. Why I love dog sitting I have always been a general animal lover. There was never a time in my life were i didn't have a dog/pet. My mother was a groomer and showed poodles and my father helped run a kennel, which i had to help him with at a young age! My experience administering medication I have experience with administrating medication, either oral or through injection (ex. insulin).

Rachel came to meet me and my two small dogs the day before sitting. She was professional, kind, and competent. I felt very comfortable opening my home to her and putting my puppies in her care. Thanks Rachel!

Rachel took good care of Ellie while we gone. She was very responsive and let us know how Ellie was doing. She was also flexible with the timing of watching Ellie. We hope to use her again soon.

Rachel is very calm and cool around dogs. Toby was a bit suspicious at first, so she just settled in and waited for him to come to her. Which of course she did. We had her only one night, but would certainly try to hire her for longer stays.

I wish there were more stars! Rachel was awesome. She stayed with my pets for 2 weeks! They love her and so do we. Everything was perfect She is very responsible and caring. I hope to use her many times more. My dog and cat were well taken care of while we were gone.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if there are any aggression issues with the dog. I have dealt with aggressive dogs before, i just need to know ahead of time. I would also like to know if there are any medical issues i should know about. Also, i think it's important to know if the animal has a favorite toy or hiding spot. I have no preference to any breed!
