I usually work 7:30am-3:30pm with two days being remote work, which means more flexibility (subject to change). Unfortunately I refrain from doing repeat services because of this, but I am happy to do occasional services or fill ins.

Pet care experience

I’ve never met an animal that i didn’t like. Dog care came to me when I got my first dog ten years ago. I also occasionally sit for my sister’s elderly cat, who requires special food, medication, and attention since he is old and blind. I have no problem taking care of old pets and puppies/kittens if you show me how. I can also take care of reptiles, birds, and fish! I worked at a nature center and took care of everything in it.

Rachel was flexible and communicative. Sirena loved her from the second she met her which means a lot to us since she’s a nervous girl. She was sure to communicate all the things Sirena had done with her as well as asked questions if anything came up. We definitely recommend her and will use her again :) thank you Rachel !

Rachel seriously was amazing and I could not recommend more! She was so flexible and kind and very patient with my high energy cat! She was extremely helpful and I will definitely be using her again next time I’m out of town!
