Pet care experience
💖 First time booking with Rover? Use code RACHEM83041 to get $20 off your first booking with me. 💖 Hi, I’m Rachel. I have been a nurse since 2014. I am currently taking a hiatus from nursing to slow down and focus on my family and my passion (animals). Before I became a nurse, I was a veterinary assistant for 6 years. I have also been fostering animals and pet sitting for 20 years. I am comfortable giving medications to dogs and cats, as well as caring for pets of all ages. I have experience with giving insulin injections, vaccines, subcutaneous fluid administration, oral medication, topical medication, medicated baths, eye drops, nose drops, and ear medication. ✨ I also offer discounted rates for multiple pets and extended stays. For multiple cats, the discount will be applied before booking is completed. Each additional cat in the same kitty hotel room will be $10/night. ✨

Reviews
We have been so happy with Rachel’s daycare services! She is very attentive, communicative, and our pup loves it at her house. We get a very thorough update at the end of the day and our pup always comes home happy and tired!
Rachel was fantastic. I have a geriatric dog that needed to be watched for the weekend while I was out of town and she took great care of him. She sent me pictures of him and kept in touch about how to best take care of his elderly needs. I felt very confident he was in good hands while I was away. I would hire her to watch my pooch again if I ever need to. 10/10
Was really worried for one of my dogs as she hasn't ever been away from us. Rachel sent me messages daily and and provided a picture and video of them. Very limited issues as far as my dog and great outcome. Will look to use Rachel's services in the future.
Dani had a fantastic day with Rachel! She passed out HARD on the drive home 😂 She loves playing and peanut butter kongs!! I ran out of kibble but Rachel saved the day with breakfast!!

Safety, trust & environment
While in my care, your pets’ safety and emotional wellbeing will be my top priority. Dogs will be supervised while in my fenced backyard and will otherwise be walked on a leash while outdoors. Inside, I have baby gates preventing access to the stairs and front door for extra safety. I will play with and exercise your dog based on their activity level/mobility. Your pups will also have access to the partially shaded backyard and main floor living area. I do allow dogs on the couches for snuggles. I’ll also provide water/food bowls and toys. If your dog sleeps in a kennel, I have one set up here with a bed and blankets. For your kitties, there is a private/quiet room upstairs with a cat tower, window for bird watching, cat beds, blankets, toys, bowls, litter box, and scratching post. They will get lots of playtime and cuddles as well!
Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet
-Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, behaviors, allergies, or preferences. -Is there anything special that I can do to make your pet most comfortable? -For dog owners, how is your dog with other dogs? -What behaviors would you like for me to encourage/discourage? -Is your dog allowed to have treats or Kong toy with peanut butter?
A typical day
I live near Friendly Grove Park and Mission Creek Nature Park where there are walking trails and lots to explore and sniff! There will also be no shortage of indoor play time, backyard play, belly rubs and snuggles. I have a partially shaded, fully fenced backyard and have plenty of toys to play with as well. If the weather is not conducive for backyard play, I create an indoor play space in the living rooms. For kitties, I have a separate room with a window for bird watching, a tall cat tree, plenty of toys, and scratching post.
