Pet care experience

Certified Animal Lover!

Hi I am Rachel! I am a true animal lover and always felt a deep connection to dogs. I have a great deal of experience that started when I was 14, walking and caring for animals around my neighborhood ! I took a break from Rover to do fostering where I housed over 8 dogs on a long term basis. I look forward to bonding with your pet! I am very flexible and can meet any needs your pet/home may need! I will make sure your animal is under the best care possible while also receiving extra love :)

House Sitting • Aug 30, 2026

Rachel did a wonderful job watching our two cats and dog for a week at our house. She kept us informed every day and took our dog to the vet when she wasn’t feeling well. They all look happy and healthy just as we left them!

Rachel was able to take care of arya on short notice and a good care taker! She is comfortable with dogs and I would recommend her to someone who needs help taking care of their pet.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 26, 2021

Sitter stood us up the day she was supposed to watch our dogs. Gave us a bad address (we knocked on multiple doors) and will not answer messages or phone calls. We are now stuck out of town and missing an important event because of it. Stay away from this one.

Rachel is awesome. Our dog Eli has pretty serious separation anxiety, but that didn't seem to be a problem with Rachel. She also eased OUR separation anxiety by sending frequent updates and pictures. She will definitely be getting our business again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am in a large studio apartment and live next to many dog parks! I do have a cat, but she was raised around dogs and will often just hide. I am capable of anything you need during home visits including walking, feeding, medication administration, placing in crate or even home maintenance during long trips away!
