Safety, trust & environment

Cat wise: I am very careful to not let any cats out of the house. I know some can be escape artists. Lots of practice there. I will sit patiently for more timid cats to warm up to me. I typically won't pick them up at first or pet their bellies. I usually get my friends cats to warm up to me quickly and get them playing soon enough. Will cater to the cats that like drinking from the faucet too. Dog wise: I am ready to meet their energy and go on some fun walks. Will even be down to jog with them if they have a lot of energy. I'm cautious about food allergies so I will make sure I only give treats that are allowed and be patient to make sure they go to the bathroom during our visit. They will get all the pets they need!

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

Any food allergies. If they tend to bark at people in public. I will just make sure there is some separation if they like to try and get after kids or other dogs.

A typical day

I love to take strolls through the neighborhood to the park. Luckily Jacksonville has a ton of parks. If we are playing in a back yard and no leash required then I love to play fetch with them.

Rachel was great with our senior cat. He had no issues coming right out to her and letting her give him his pill. She took the time to play with him and wrote up a nice report for us with pictures. We have found our local cat sitter for any trips we take! :)

Being away from home for the holiday and having to leave my sweet baby was so hard, so I booked Rachel for a drop in and she was so good. She played with her, and was very attentive and I’m so happy that my baby got some love while I was away. I will definitely be booking Rachel again❤️❤️

1st of all thank you Rachel so much for your care and attention to our indoor and outdoor community cats. We love our babies more than anything and Rachel took amazing care of them and helped put our fears to rest. I would absolutely use her again! And hope she’d love to take care of all our clan again too. One of the best cat sitters we’ve ever used.
