Pet care experience
I've had cats almost every day of my entire life, and dogs for many years! I love to watch friends' and family's pets when they're away, and I've volunteered at a dog rescue and an animal shelter.
Reviews
I cannot say enough good things about Rachel! Our dog got sick the first day we left and Rachel cleaned up and was able to get him the medication he needed. We were in Canada with very limited cell service and I trusted our 3 babes were in good hands!
Rachel was amazing. We were gone ten days and nights. I had zero concerns or guilt leaving my cats and dog with her. We booked a few months in advance. Rachel was willing to stop by a few weeks before to go over the needs of my pets. My house was exactly as I left it, trash was empty, no dirty dishes, and she took care of our pool by adding chemicals and opening the auto cover every day. Rachel is kind, soft spoken and loves loves animals. When she came for an interview she stopped listening to me to interact with our dog and cats. That’s when I knew she was the one. If you want to feel confident your pets are being cared for the same as you would care for them Rachel should be your choice. We have gone on vacation before and had family members care for our pets which made me worry and feel guilty the entire trip. With Rachel I had none of that five stars do not do her justice.
So grateful for Rachel! I could tell from the pictures that our animals loved and felt comfortable with her. It’s difficult to find someone you really trust with your fur babes, especially with a dog with some special needs, and I’m glad we found Rachel!!
Loved that she kept our feather and furs comfortable and loved and their needs meant , with extra care for our birds, highly recommended, pleasant young lady who does what is needed and then more, following what we asked, thorough , and over and above with great common sense, I would not hesitate tcall her again!
About Rachel M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I'm familiar with caring for both crated dogs and free roaming dogs. Taking walks, play time, treats - whatever you request for your dog's mental and physical wellbeing. I'm experienced in winning over cats, as they require a different set of skills, including patience, a calm demeanor, and occasionally a tasty wet treat.
Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet
It would be great to know about your pet's likes, dislikes, feeding schedule and amount, any allergies, what treats are allowed, medications, and if they have any favorite walks or toys.
A typical day
I love to take a long walk to exercise dogs mentally and physically. Also love to curl up on the couch and give your dog some undivided cuddles while we watch a movie. For cats, I like to let them lead the way. If they want to play, simply be petted, or just be admired from a distance - I read their energy and follow along.

Availability
Currently I'm taking time off and am fully open for pet care. Even when that changes in the future, I'll be working remote only and can be anywhere with a wifi connection.
