Safety, trust & environment

It’s important to me to learn the typical routine and structures in place for pets and then try my best to maintain those for a pets comfort and ease of transition in having a petsitter. Safety inside and out is important, especially going on a walk.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to know your typical routines and structures with pets so I can make sure to maintain and match them! Or if there’s anything above and beyond I can support - let me know.

A typical day

Through the neighborhood! To parks! To follow that funny squirrel! And after that, a lounging afternoon full of cuddles and good food (for both of us).

Pet care experience

I grew up with tons of pets and have pet sit for friends and family in the past. I am restarting my pet sitting but have been volunteering with a local cat rescue for the last 4 years on a weekly basis. I can provide exercise, play time, food, and administer medications. I have my own cat and know how special and important pets are as members of the family.

Rachel is an amazing pet sitter! I never had to worry about my cats as I knew she was taking care of them. She was always on time, replied to my messages and gave great updates. I came home to two happy cats!

Rachel is amazing! She took amazing care of my kitty and buns, and provided some of the best pics of them that put my mind at ease while I was away!! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter in the future

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.
