I work from home with a fully flexible schedule, so I'm available most of the day for pet care! This means plenty of time to play, cuddle, walk, or just hang out. I'm home daily to provide consistent attention and routine. I'm open almost anytime, with weekends and evenings fully free too. Your pet will never feel alone!

Safety, trust & environment

I provide all care directly in your home, so your pet stays in their own familiar, comfortable environment—reducing stress and keeping routines intact for any animal. I prioritize safety by following your exact instructions for feeding, cleaning, enrichment, handling, and any medications or special needs. I check for hazards, secure the space as needed, and handle every pet gently and patiently while respecting their personality and boundaries. Trust is everything: I send daily photo/text updates with happy moments and details, treat your home with complete respect, and leave everything exactly as I found it. Your pet and space are in caring, reliable hands!

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special needs for your beloved pet and I will do my best to learn about their situation to accommodate them correctly!

A typical day

A typical day with your pet starts with me arriving on time (or staying overnight for house sitting) and following your exact routine right away—whether that's morning feeding or litter box scooping. I spend quality time on personalized activities: long walks or play sessions for energetic dogs (fetch, tug-of-war, or exploring the yard), interactive laser or wand play for cats. I always include cuddles, belly rubs, or quiet lap time for calmer pets. Throughout, I send photo/text updates so you see the fun and care. The focus is on keeping your pet happy, safe, and loved in their own home—no rush, just lots of attention and affection.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats for over a decade. Neighbors, friends, and family have always relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide loving care for their pets when traveling. What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with diverse animals: I understand unique needs, from high-energy pups to calm seniors and independent to medically needy cats. I'm patient, attentive, and treat every pet like my own.

So wonderful! Very attentive, patient, and kind with our little pup. Couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you!

Rachel was great with our two puppies. They hung out and I didn’t have to worry about them barking every 5 seconds when they would hear a random noise. She sent photos often. I look forward to using her again.

Rachel is amazing with Pets! She has been my family’s go-to pet sitter for years now. We have 3 cats and a dog and she was able to care for all of them with amazing attention to detail for each. I couldn’t recommend her more!
