Pet care experience

If you're looking for a weekend sitter, I got you covered! I am full time employed Monday through Friday, so I don't typically take weekday bookings-- though I'm open to long weekend type stays. I've had dogs and cats my whole life, from chihuahuas to Labradors, and taking care of them is the best part of my day! I have been training my family dogs since I was a teen, and took on their feeding and other care as well. I also volunteer at the local humane society, where they teach us how to keep pets calm and happy in stressful situations. Got a dog with storm anxiety? I've dealt with that before! I'll happily snuggle with your pet until the thunder goes away. Multi-pet households are in my repertoire too -- the more pets the better. Small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, etc) welcome too!

Rachel is one of the few people our cat warms up to. I love having her care for our fluff ball.

Rachel is the best! I always feel so reassured that my pets are well cared for when she’s with them.

Rachel was great with Hatty and Skittles! She played with them both, made sure their water bowl was full, and was very flexible with my strange work schedule!

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has a special diet, medications or separation anxiety, I'd love to know ahead of time so I'm better prepared to take care of them.

A typical day

My car is big enough to fit any breed! We can go to nearby parks, or the dog park to play fetch and go for walks. Whatever your preference, I can make it happen. In nice weather, I love sitting outdoors with your pets and playing or just chilling out.
