Availability

Pet care is an important part of my everyday life. While working full-time at a veterinary clinic, I still have the availability to do up to three drop-in visits per day to feed, walk, and spend quality time with pets. On my days off, I’m home with my own cat and bunny, which gives me extra flexibility to provide longer visits, playtime, and cuddles. Caring for animals is a consistent and enjoyable part of my life, and I make sure it fits seamlessly into my schedule so every pet gets the attention they deserve.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in an apartment with a screened-in porch. At home, we have one super chill cat and a bunny who has his own room. I usually prefer to care for pets at the client’s home so they can stay comfortable in their own space—and to avoid stressing my own cat, who’s very attached to me and might get jealous with another pet around.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

With 8 years of veterinary technician experience, I’m very comfortable giving medications and making sure pets stay on schedule with their care. I like to have a written list of medications and feeding instructions, and I also prefer to meet beforehand so we can go over everything together. This way, you’ll feel confident and I’ll know your pet’s routine inside and out.

A typical day

I adapt to each animal’s personality and needs. If they’re laid-back, I’m happy to relax with them on the couch. If they’re playful, I’ll spend as much time as possible engaging in games like fetch, while always keeping their comfort in mind—especially during the hot Florida summers.

Rachel house sat for me for the weekend. She communicated well and took great care of our babies. The house looked great upon our return and the animals were all happy and well cared for. I would recommend her to anyone needing her services!!!!

Rachel is awesome! Was always on time and very professional. Chloe, our 40lb pit mix looked forward to her evening walks with Rachel and we always got pics of their walk. Would highly recommend Rachel for any of her pet services!
