Love Watching Dogs and Cats :)

Pet care experience

I worked at the doggy daycare Urban Hound Playground in South Minneapolis for 8 mounths and worked at Chuck and Don's Pet Food and Supplies in Northeast Minneapolis for almost a year. I have also helped out with my roommate's dog and have provided short-term foster care for dogs through Can Do Cannines and I also volunteer occasionally with Safe Hands Animal Rescue. I have as of now been helping pet sit and dog walk on Rover for over 5 years. I love it! I love walking dogs, playing with them, and I really don't mind picking up their poop and cleaning up after them. I can also give you advice on different issues you are having with your dog and recommend products to help with things like: indigestion, aniexty, dental problems, and poop-eating. I'm more of a dog expert but I do enjoy cats as well and have a good amount of experience caring for them. I also have a little experience taking care of bunnies and backyard chickens through Rover. I'm open to most animals though if there is something I didn't list feel free to ask. I will provide a loving, safe and fun enviorment for your animals. I genuinely care about thier health, safety and happiness. I look forward to working with you and providing the best possible services and experiences for your amazing and unique pets!

Our Elvis loved spending the holidays with Rachel. She took amazing care of him. Great to work with. Send pics every day. And you can tell that she loves animals. Would highly recommend her and plan on booking again. Thank you, Rachel.

Rachel helped me when another rover sitter cancelled last minute but I will not be using Rachel again. She left my sliding glass door open for 5 hours where my dog or anyone else could come and go. My house was messy from her stay and the sheets on the guest bed (where she stayed) were ripped up. As a positive, she was communicative and told me she left the door open and was easy to contact.

Rachel was great and SO attentive to my anxious dog. This was my first time leaving her in so long and it was a success! I will be back in the future!

Rachel did a great job with my pooch, and she took great care of my house! Would recommend her services, I'll certainly call her up next time I'm out of town.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide an emotionally and physically safe space for both human and animal clients. I talk to people about their needs and I desire to foster an environment for their animals that feel very comfortable with. I'm happy to give updates but like to give them only as much as my client wants. I want you to be able to be immersed in your time away knowing your animals are in good hands.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know all of your animals specific needs and care instructions. I appreciate also having info about the place I am pet sitting Ex: wifi password, parking information.

A typical day

I like taking the dogs on walks and playing with them. I enjoy taking the dogs for car rides and going to different fun parks! I also enjoy playing with all animals and caring for them. I enjoy playing with toys with cats and giving them head scratches when they allow.

Availability

I am moving in May and starting grad school but for the next few months I have a lot old availability! I do have a part time job on Tuesdays (available before 7am or after 2pm) Thursdays (available before 7am or after 6:30pm), and Fridays (available before 7:30am or after 4pm). I’m happy to work with you if you are gone for a few weeks and would like to book me on Thursday. That is just my long day at work so if you have a dog arrangements for a mid-day check would likely be necessary for Thursdays. I know that’s not ideal so that’s why I have Thursdays marked as unavailable. But if you are in a pinch and need someone to house sit I’m happy to do it on Thursday still.
