Safety, trust & environment

Having a calm and quiet personality has always allowed animals to feel safe and secure around me. I'm able to care for them by showing genuine affection towards them. My current living situation does not all for me to have pets and I'm looking forward to loving and taking care of yours as I would my own.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if animals have any specific needs that I can provide. Medications, brushing, or extra love and attention can be provided. If they are nervous or high energy and need extra play time. I'm also comfortable clipping nails for dogs, and cutting matted fur out of cats if need be.

A typical day

Will walk dogs in the morning, afternoon and evening. Eating on their schedule and potty breaks afterwards or when they need. Playing and cuddles throughout the day. Making sure fresh water is always available. Allowing time for cats to sit and cuddle on lap through evening and morning hours. Playing with cats during the day. P.s. if you'd like me to bring trash cans to curb and back up again, let me know! It's no problem at all!

Can't have too many animal friends!

Pet care experience

I've lived with dogs most my life. I took my childhood dog to puppy classes in petsmart and have used that knowledge to help my friends with their dogs. I'm able to read body language and anticipate needs. I love walking and playing outside. Lost dogs have been able to trust me to help them find their way home since I was a kid. Animals love me as much as I love them 💕

Rachel is the best! She goes above and beyond as a sitter. One of our cats is very anxious and Rachel was so patient with her and even checked in on her an extra time after she refused to take her meds. She even rearranged the drop in schedule when we realized the cats needed a different time of day for their food and meds. It’s such a relief going out of town and knowing our girls are being cared for so well! Thanks Rachel!

We love Rachel for our cat and have used her multiple times. On her last visit our cleaners knocked over our car feeder and Rachel helped us get it up and running again. She’s extremely responsive and kind.

Rachel was always there at the designated time and my boys loved her! This was my first Rover experience and I couldn't be more pleased!
