Experienced Animal Lover!

I’m an experienced Rover sitter seeking employment that allows me to work from your home with your babies! Caring for living things - from plants, to small animals, to large dogs - is something that makes me happy and I love finding ways to do more of it. I am always excited to walk, cuddle, bathe, brush, read to, watch TV with, play fetch with, help train, and clean up after your pet. In addition to being on rover for five years, I have been pet-sitting since I was very young and have experience with many breeds/ages of dogs and other companion animals. Whatever you need, I look forward to keeping your pet happy while they miss you.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I spend as much time as my day allows with your pet, even if that means taking them with me on a car ride (at your comfort!). I am extremely respectful of other people’s homes and work hard not to overstep any boundaries. House-sitting is a minimum of 3 check-ins a day/I “live at” your home outside of work, overnight stays, making sure all animals have food and water, a meet and greet beforehand, playtime and cuddle time.

Rachel really went above and beyond for us and helped us out beyond just the daily feedings and play time. We really appreciated her efforts in helping us!

House Sitting • Jul 02, 2025

I am an anxious pet owner, and Rachel put me at ease immediately when she came for our meet and greet! She communicated punctually regarding the meeting, was very professional and warm, and most importantly seemed extremely capable of caring for our pups. She arrived on time for her stay, provided regular updates, and did everything that we asked of her before leaving our home in perfect shape. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel has been amazing! We are so lucky to have found her! She’s been so good to all of our pets and having her come by for drop in visits really puts me and my husband at ease when we are working long days. She sends us the cutest and funniest photos which also brighten our long days at work. She obviously loves animals and really cares about her clients pets.

Rachel was very nice when she came however she left my studio in a setting I did not leave it like and that upset my pets and they were crying and in a state of panic and I asked her to please return and fix the issue it would have taken her 5 minutes if that and she was less than a mile away and did not offer to return bc of the “rain,” I checked the weather and it was not raining one… two I had find a last minute sitter and she FaceTimed me and it was not raining so her response showed a lack of concern and responsibility on her part she did not even ask me if the dogs were she simply said I’ll check on them in the morning and it was her doing to begin with honestly she might have seemed nice but the way she responded to her mistakes and lack of responsibility really upset me I wouldn’t recommend her

Schedule

I always start by scheduling a free meet and greet to discuss you and your pets needs so that I can provide exactly what you are looking for. Recently my husband has joined my “rover team” and can do drop-ins even when I am booked. If you’d like for him to come with me to a meet and greet just ask :) If your pets are uncomfortable with men let us know and we will, of course, accommodate. I want to accommodate your schedule so I can hang out with a cool pet!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Rachel can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Before pet sitting I really want to know any rituals they expect. (Ex. Going outside at specific times, leash procedure, feeding times, rewards for certain behaviors, etc). Most companion animals are creatures of habit and I don’t want to cause them any confusion or frustration. Do they like other animals? How long can they be left in the house by themselves? And are they house trained/how much time do they spend outside? Any medical concerns? I am flexible with all species and breeds and just want to know what you and your pet expect from me up front.
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.
