Highlights
Pet care experience
Will take your pup adventuring!
Hello! I've had experience with dog sitting, dog walking, and small animal care for 14+ years. I've been taking care of dogs around my neighborhood since I was in middle school, and I have two of my own pups, who are my pride and joy :) In 2017, I launched my pet care business. Since then, I've taken care of over 300 dogs, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs in Brighton, NY and surrounding areas. I'm as comfortable with 5Ib Toy Poodles as I am with 180Ib Great Danes, and I've worked with a wide range of breeds, personalities, and temperaments. I've cared for quite a few animals that have had medical needs, and I'm completely comfortable administering medication (oral & topical) to pets. I also have plenty of experience with general training and socialization. I would be happy to provide you with tips and advice if you have a new dog, cat, puppy, or kitten!

Safety, trust & environment
I will always treat your home and your pets with the utmost respect. I check to make sure that the water bowls are full, pups are secured in a crate, baby gate, etc. if instructed, and kitties are away from the door before I exit your home and lock up. I am always reachable during pet care stays through messaging and phone calls. I hope you'll consider me, and if you have any further questions regarding my pet care services, please feel free to send a message anytime!
Ratings and reviews
Rachel provided wonderful care for our two cats, one of whom is an Exotic Shorthair and needs daily face cleaning and brushing. She was easy to schedule with, communicated well, and shared great photos and updates. I'd highly recommend her!
Rachel was absolutely wonderful! My cats loved her, and I appreciated how thorough and thoughtful she was. She spent real time playing and giving my needy pets attention, and I felt so at ease knowing she was dropping in. Five stars all the way!
Rachel was great with Georgia again! She’s reliable, communicative, and I always feel comfortable knowing Georgia is in good hands with her. I really appreciate her coming by and taking such good care of her. Highly recommend!
Rachel took wonderful care of our pets, made sure all of their needs were met, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was clean.
Rachel took wonderful care of our two elderly kitties! She kept me updated everyday with messages and pictures which gave me peace of mind while we were on vacation. I’m so grateful I found Rachel, I know our cats are in good hands!
Rachel was wonderful with Vader. I would definitely ask her to visit again.

Schedule
Pet care was my full-time job in college and graduate school. Since I became a teacher, my schedule has allowed me to live in both Manhattan/UES and Rochester, NY during different times of the year, and I am continuing to offer pet care services year-round in both locations! I am in Rochester during all major holidays and during my summers off. Upcoming Rochester services: June 28th - September 1st
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsRachel can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- I offer a free meet and greet before booking, where we can discuss the needs of your pets. In general, I need information on whether your dog is friendly towards other animals, whether you would like us to avoid saying hi to other dogs while walking, and any kind of medical or dietary considerations.
