Safety, trust & environment

Safety and Trust: Since I am not currently employed outside of Rover I will be able to stay with your cat or dog more than 90% of the time during a sitting. Similarily when doing drop ins I almost always can accomodate whatever time the owner would like me to come. My vast experience with dogs and cats has taught me in general what to do and what not to do which allows me to focus on learning the idiosyncrities of your pet during the meet and greet. This experience has also taught me that meet and greets are extremely important so I'm sure to always find a time to complete one with pet owners. Therefore, you will always have the opportunity to meet me, observe how I interact with your pet(s), address any concerns you may have and discuss details in person. During both sittings and drop ins I'm always sure to provide plenty of updates, pictures, and information so you know that your furbaby or furbabies are being well taken care of.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pooch or kitty has any dietary restrictions, special needs, and/or unusual behaviors that I should be aware in order to best care for them. Please also note if they get along with other dogs or have a daily routine.

A typical day

A Typical Day: What I do with your dog will depend upon their wants, needs, and temperment. However, activities may include having fun at the dog park, snuggling, taking walks, playing fetch and/or tug of war, going for short car rides, and sunbathing.

Experienced and dedicated.

Pet care experience

Pet Care Experience: Ive had dogs my whole life and will be starting vet tech school in fall. Ive had experiece caring for various sizes, breeds, and ages for almost a year on Rover and over four years on occasion for friends and family members. I have experience not only in walking, feeding, and general care but in bathing, administering medication, and and basic training as well. I have also taken care of several senior dogs some of whom have needed help walking or supporting themselves when going to the bathroom. While I am most experienced in caring for dogs, I have also cared for over a half dozen cats via drop ins and house sittings. This means I am familiar with how to clean and empty litter boxes and I have no qualms about cleaning up any "presents" they may give me.

Rachel is an excellent Pet / House sitter. Mt Great Pyrenees, Maya really warmed up to her immediately and I felt safe and confident leaving her in Rachel's care

Rachel was great! She stayed at our house to make sure our dogs were completely taken care of! She kept in touch, asked questions and sent lots of pictures. Would use her again and recommend her to others!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
