Pawsome Pet Care in Sacramento!

Pet care experience

Throughout my life, I’ve had the privilege of loving and taking care of many different animals. My childhood pets included 2 dogs (Shiba Inu mix and Jack Russell Terrier), a hamster, a guinea pig, and parakeets. Currently, my pet family consists 2 cats named Archer and Tortellini. I have former experience with pet/home-sitting, dog walking, and cat sitting back when I lived in San Diego. I have taken care of sick animals, puppies, large dogs, and nervous cats. Back in September of 2023, my boyfriend and I happily fostered 4 kittens. These kittens were sick with an upper-respiratory & eye infection, which required us to administer multiple different types of medication on a regular basis. All 4 kittens were successfully adopted as pairs by two different adopters!

Rachel has always wanted the best for all pets! She’s incredibly caring, thoughtful, and will give the best cuddles to your fur friends. She has taken care of my two cats before and had plenty of years of experience caring for other pets as well - would absolutely recommend her!

Rachel is an attentive and caring pet sitter. She took time to go through my cats special diet needs and instructions, and gets them to engage in play when she sits. She was also kind enough to take care of my plants while I was gone which was greatly appreciated.

I have known Rachel for many years, and her love and dedication to animals are truly remarkable. Rachel possesses a rare combination of kindness, compassion, and patience, which makes her an exceptional pet caregiver. Her experience with her own cat, as well as her past responsibilities caring for multiple dogs, showcases her deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. What sets Rachel apart is her ability to handle temperamental or high attention-seeking pets. Her calm demeanor and gentle approach help her establish trust and rapport with even the most challenging animals. I have witnessed Rachel's skill firsthand in keeping control and providing excellent care for pets of various temperaments. Furthermore, Rachel is a highly organized and task-oriented individual. She takes her responsibilities seriously and ensures that all pet needs are met promptly and efficiently. Whether it's feeding, grooming, exercise, or medical care, Rachel goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the animals under her care. Rachel’s genuine love for animals, combined with her experience, skills, and dedication, make her a wonderful pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

As I have 2 cats of my own, I will not be able to provide service at my home. However, in my clients' homes, I will ensure that all animals are properly fed at their scheduled/desired times, play and/or walk with extensively so that the animals can let out their energy and relax throughout the day and/or evening, as well as provide love and attention so that they are reassured they are safe and taken care of while their paw-rents are away.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

I like to make sure I know of any allergies, medications/supplements the animals may be taking. I am more than happy to administer medication and prep special meals (e.g. dietary restrictions).

A typical day

With dogs, I like to mentally and physically engage with them by going on walks and play with their favorites toys. With cats, I like to talk to them and reach for their favorite toys to play with or treats in case they are hiding and feeling timid.
