Highlights
Pet care experience
No dog too big or small 😊
I’ve loved and taken care of all breeds of dogs since a little kid. I’ve personally owned dogs as small as 5lbs and as large as 150+lbs. I’ve had two (unplanned) litters of 8 and 12 puppies previously and had to break my own heart to part with them all 😉. I’ve dealt with shy/quiet, friendly, initially aggressive, high and low energy, etc. and can easily adapt! I am very familiar with dogs that require specific medicine, ear or eye drops, bandages, allergies, etc. My dogs are my priority and I’ll make sure, while in my care, yours are mine too! 😊

Ratings and reviews
Thank you, Rachel! We will miss you!
I strongly advise against hiring this sitter. I paid for 7 drop-in visits at 30 minutes each, which should have totaled 210 minutes of care. Instead, my Ring doorbell camera caught the sitter consistently cutting visits incredibly short. Out of the 210 minutes I paid for, the sitter was only there for a combined total of 93 minutes. Every single visit was cut short without my permission or any communication, including two visits that lasted a mere 9 minutes. To make matters worse, the times submitted on the Rover care cards were entirely falsified and did not match the actual arrival and departure times caught on my camera. On top of completely shortchanging my dog and cat on care time, the sitter ignored explicit household instructions. I explicitly stated that my cat is not allowed on the kitchen counters, yet the sitter allowed it anyway. They also left my living room ceiling fan running when they departed. It is clear this sitter has zero respect for instructions, honesty, or the pets they are hired to care for. I have saved all of my Ring footage and am escalating this directly to Rover Support for a refund. Save your money and find someone trustworthy.
Rex loves Miss Rachel!
Rachel took great care of my dog, Zola. Took her on a short walk, played, and took care of Zolas specific needs. Wonderful!
Rachel continues to be the best! 🙌
Rachel is the best!
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I currently work a 9/80 schedule meaning I have every other Friday off as well as always having weekends off. I typically work from home a couple of days during the week depending. I am home by 5pm the latest each working week day and free after that! I don’t work weekends so I have complete flexibility there! I have dog cameras in my own home just to make sure everything is going smoothly and have flexibility with work if need be!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a completely fenced yard and two dogs myself that love all types of dogs. I walk my own dogs every single day, there is a paved and dog friendly walking path that begins in my neighborhood that extends over several towns nearby. It typically isn’t very busy and there are dog stations throughout. There is also a nearby church in my neighborhood with a ton of open grass space that I throw the ball for my dogs regularly as well. (Both are about a 1-2min walk from my house). I can adapt easily to any clients home and environment! My dogs love to keep me and any other dogs company in our home. 😊

A typical day
I take my dogs to play or on a walk every single day so that is a given! There is a big open grass space in my neighborhood I like to play fetch with dogs there. There’s an easily accessible paved walking path with dog stations throughout that I use daily. Sometimes my dogs like to run more certain days so I’ve taken them on the same path but rode my bike to give them more of a workout, I’m happy to do that with yours as well! I have plenty of enrichment toys and activities for indoors as well to get them tired. I also have a fenced in yard that I utilize daily of course!

- Let me know ahead of time any special medications or concerns with having two other dogs in my home. I have kennels for mine that can easily be used if it’s a concern at all, although mine are very loving and accepting I understand it’s not for all dogs ?. If there is a certain time each day medication needs to be taken as well that’d be great to know ahead of time to plan my day around! Sorry to do this but some seem to take advantage of my kindness and my time is just as valuable as yours :) if you’re 1hr+ late on drop off or pick up there will be a late fee charge. :)
