Pet care experience
The first dog I ever met was a HUGE family friend’s Dalmation. He may not have actually been as huge as I remember but to a two year old, he was my massive new best friend. I have so many fond memories of frequently going over to visit him and getting licks all over my face. It was from that moment in time that I knew dogs were going to be a big part of my life. We went on to adopt a family dog and it was through caring for him that I learned how to properly walk, train and feed a pup. I’m looking forward to owning my own dog in the near future but until I find the right fit, I’ve decided to help others care for their pets while they’re away. What sets me apart as a caregiver is I will always make sure to leave a house I’m watching in better shape than when I found it. I wipe down any surface I use, and keep the areas I’m in tidy and trash-free. When it comes to the pups, I take as much time as needed to get to know my canine clients so I can be well in tune with their needs. Clients tend to book with me consistently because I am responsible, well organized and I take care of their dogs as if they were my own! When I’m not pet-sitting on Rover, I am working for “The RIDE” an interactive tour bus. I’m also continuing my training as a performer daily. Overall, I’m extremely athletic and when the weather is right I enjoy taking my clients’ pups on runs outside. With owner approval, I might share a piece or two of the organic treats I always keep in my pocket. I use those to get a dog’s attention and then further connect with them on a personal level so I can learn what their signals are and get them comfortable in my presence.

Great communication, very nice sitter! Great photos :)
Rachel is always a pleasure to have house and dog sit. She is very affectionate and loving towards the pups. Miss you, Rachel!
Extremely impressed with Rachel’s house/dog sitting once again. She is very communicative and my pups absolutely adore her. The pictures she sends are the cutest! Rachel cares very much about ensuring my pups are happy and comfortable, and you can’t even tell she was staying at the house because she is so thoughtful & considerate. Thank you, Rachel!
Rachel was such a lifesaver! We took our new 9 week old puppy to Vegas with us so we could go to Sema but things didn’t work out the way we hoped and realized that we couldn’t leave him alone that long. I found Rachel on Rover and she was so accommodating from the date (very last minute) to the time (I changed it on her a few times). She loved our puppy and took great care of him, I got tons of pictures and updates from her which I appreciated and we were able to enjoy our time at Sema thoroughly. She took care of him the way we would so that it wasnt shocking for us to pick him back up which I liked, too. She was AMAZING. We live in Phoenix but I can only hope that we’ll find a sitter like her here.

I like to set up meet and greets to go over any specific details you might have. Please also feel free to message me and share your dog’s specific dietary needs, medication needs, usual activity level and anything else you think I’d need to know to give the best care possible.
A typical day
I live in the master bedroom of a generous two-bedroom apartment with lots of space and tons of sunlight nestled in a quiet, gated community. My complex has many grass areas, places to walk and a local park just a few minutes away. I am happy to take your pup to my neighborhood or stick to your own if you prefer. Send me a message and let’s get started!
