I live in an apartment with my husband Josh and our 6 pets . Josh and I have been together for 6 years and he enjoys tagging along when he can . I always make sure to ask ahead if it’s alright with the pet owner with him meeting their babies . I have 2 cats and the rest are caged animals (2 bearded dragons and 2 guinea pigs) . The cats usually go straight to hide and are a bit frigid when meeting a new people/pets . Once they warm up to the new environment , they usually show off their comfortable side by laying on their backs , or rubbing their scent on you . They are both very sweet cats , but my tuxedo baby was sheltered and was traumatized by a dog so we usually keep her away from any contact with new animals . Both my furbabies can really make a mess after a long day of cleaning but to see them having fun is the best part of my day .

Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet

Some information I would appreciate ahead of time is any expectations you would have during your time away as well as any basic questions like if they are the types to escape or if they’re allergic to certain solids/liquids . I also would ask if your furbabies are alright with other people/animals if walks are involved or with my husband Josh if he tagged along ?

A typical day

When in care for your fur baby , I would ensure to play as much as I could to get that energy out of them for just a bit . They usually never get tired lol. With dogs , I would ensure to give them their regular walks (if applicable) as well as checking on their food and water if it consists of a drop in or house sitting . Our fun time would be endless when under my care and I would of course give them space when a nap is calling their name lol . I’m not a professional , but I do also like to teach dogs/pups new tricks and commands during our time like crawl , spin and uppies so far (my fav one lol) For cats , I make sure to check litter boxes and clean up after any mess left by our sneaky ones . I always double check on water and food when necessary and spoil them with endless love . Since they usually tend for themselves , I don’t like to push my presence onto them but would play with some toys in case they’re up for a bit of “prey hunting” lol .

Pet care experience

Hello everyone ! I’m Rachel and thank you for clicking my page ❤️ ! To start , I grew up with a childhood best bud of mine . I was in charge of cleaning after him , bathing , walking , training etc. We unfortunately couldn’t keep him due to home regulations . Throughout my time with him , we’ve experienced animals such as birds , cats and many different breed of dogs . I had gained the skill to be able to handle pulling dogs when it comes to walks .

Rachel did great and our dog. We appreciate how thorough she was with the instructions we left. She was very communicative and left pictures, videos and a detailed report of what our dog did. Very appreciated and we definitely recommend her. 5/5
