After 30+ years, I ditched the agency rigor in search of joy and fulfillment. Now I am available for walks and wags most days. I can offer versatile walking, feeding and play times, including last-minute bookings with evening and weekend availability to accommodate busy doggo moms and dads.

Safety, trust & environment

I prefer to hang with your babies in their own environment versus bringing them to mine. I always assume it's more comforting for them to be at home with their beds, blankies, toys and stuffies. Crate or couch, whichever works for your family, works for me. You can be assured that I will provide status updates (you can take the girl out of project management ...) and photos of your pets so you can take comfort in knowing that they are being well cared for.

Pet care experience

Decades of working as a Project Manager in an agency while raising 2 boys and several dogs means I know the importance of organization and reliability. I understand the value of keeping to a set schedule and bringing order to chaos. I have knowledge of different dog breeds and their unique needs allowing me to handle a variety of temperaments and energy levels. (Did I mention that all of our dogs have been some kind of Terrier or rescue which equals unknown baggage, crazy, energetic and FUN)

I cannot recommend her enough! She took amazing care of my four dogs while I was away, and I truly had complete peace of mind the entire time. Managing four dogs is no small task, and she handled everything with so much care, attention, and reliability. She kept me updated, followed all instructions perfectly, and clearly treated my pets like her own. When I came home, everyone was happy, relaxed, and well cared for—which says everything. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and truly wonderful with animals!

Rachel is the best. I’m a worrier. My dogs are my fur babies. I felt complete confidence in Rachel within minutes of meeting her. Came home after being gone for three nights to happy well cared for fur babies and she took good care of our home. I can tell from the notes she texted and left in the house that she truly got to know my dogs personality and my dogs behavior upon my arrival clearly showed that they enjoyed themselves while we were away. Rachel is wonderful!

Thank you so much!! This made my whole day 🥹 Jersey is my old lady so she definitely moves a little slower during the day — totally normal for her! So glad there were no soupy surprises downstairs lol. We would absolutely love to have you walk them again — so happy they were good for you!! 🐾💕

Thank you for taking Archie on a walk, despite the terrible weather! We’d be happy to use you as a rover again.

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.
