Pet care experience

Experienced and dedicated.

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.

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.

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!

I highly recommend Rachel and cannot say enough good things about her and her services! We moved to the area and needed an overnight sitter for our two rescues. I hadn’t left my dogs with anyone new before, so I was a little nervous, but Rachel was sure to put me at ease and my dogs were in great hands! My senior dog ended up being on antibiotics at the time she stayed with them and she took great care of making sure he got his meds. They loved hanging out and snuggling with her - and she even sent me some pictures as an added bonus. ? My dogs tend to get a little overly excited over new people at first, but she handled it so well. You can tell she really does love and care for animals as if they were her own. Again, highly recommend Rachel!

Schedule

Schedule: Im curently attending school in the spring in fall but my only job is self employed pet sitting through Rover. I have very few other commitments, especially during the summer and on weekends, so I will have plenty of time to play, cuddle, care for, and adore your furbaby or furbabies.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Rachel can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
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.
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.
