Safety, trust & environment

I know everyone has different needs for how their pet needs taking care of, so a meeting is always necessary to me- I want to follow how YOU care for your pet, so I can match it to the letter, and so the animal can trust me. Gaining their trust is so important in animal care.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know if your pet has behaviors you’re trying to curb, how you’re training your animal, how discipline is administered, and what medications they’re on. I also would love to know more about how you’d like to be communicated with and what makes your pet happy!

A typical day

I play with my cats daily- they’re freaks for a laser, but I know not every cat owner is pro laser! As for dogs we’d go on walks, play with the toy of their choosing; and get as many rewards as they need (usually pets and an appropriate amount of treats)

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm a professional dog walker who started in 2014. I love dogs (and cats) of all shapes, sizes and ages and would love to help take care of yours. I send as many texts and updates during walks and sitting as you’d like, and can’t wait to get to know your pet.

Rachel walked Mowgli every single day this week and was so great! She’s communicative, reliable, and clearly cares so much about the pups! I had not a single worry leaving Mowgli in her hands this week. Thank you, Rachel!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
