Pet care experience
Hi! I'm passionate about caring for animals of all shapes and sizes. I've been pet sitting professionally for several years and understand the importance of providing a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your pets while you're away. Whether it's a playful pup, a curious kitty, or a cuddly critter, I'm here to ensure they receive the attention and care they deserve. Along with caring for your pets, I'll also take care of other essential tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring your home looks lived-in while you're away. I am fully insured and certified in Cat and Dog First Aid/CPR through the American Red Cross.
Reviews
Rachel is an amazing pet sitter. I love her visit cards that tells you about the visit. Bonus is she takes amazing pictures of my pets!
Rachel was fantastic! She watched our dog and 2 cats while we were out of town. She was attentive—spending time with each of them and giving my one cat his much needed daily medication—always on time timely, and came home to happy and healthy animals!
Rachel was a life saver. Our kitties were well taken care of. We left them for 9 days. It was quite a long time, but Rachel made sure they were feed and their toilets clean.
It was so great that Rachel was available on Christmas so I could spend time with distant family. She was prompt, and sent pictures...even one of my kitty under the bed! The first visit, he did come out to meet Rachel and I don't know that he's ever done that with a sitter before. He must have known that she's special!

Safety, trust & environment
I provide 30 or 60-minute home visits tailored to your needs. These visits include feeding, refreshing water, administering medication, engaging in playtime, and taking your pet for a potty break or walk, depending on your preference. Additionally, for cats, I'll scoop the litter box, refill it with fresh litter, and ensure the floor is swept clean. I have experience with senior cats and dogs and can administer pills (crushed in food or a pill gun) and inhalers (Aerokat). I pay special attention to the instructions given and make sure your pet(s) and home are secure before I end my visit.

Information Rachel N. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to discuss your pets unique needs during a comprehensive Meet & Greet session. It's crucial to address specific considerations such as any medical requirements, food allergies, tendencies toward escaping, or potential leash aggression.
A typical day
I love getting outside and going on energizing walks tailored to your dogs fitness level and preferences. Whether your furry friend is a brisk walker or loves to leisurely explore and sniff around, I'll accommodate their pace! During my visit, I'll dedicate extra time to take quality pictures of your pet(s) and leave detailed notes on how our time together went.
