Compassionate Caregiver
Pet care experience
I've been pet-sitting for over ten years. I've sat for heaps of homes with various pets including dogs, cats, fish, chickens, bunnies, and even joeys! The majority of my housesits have been for households with multiple dogs of varying breeds and needs. I've cared for elderly dogs with mobility and vision impairments, reactive/anxious pups, large and small breeds with ranging energy levels. I'm experienced providing walks/play, administering medication, giving baths and brushes, prepping meals, and obviously providing all the love and attention (as is fit based on the individual pet's personality). In addition to housesits, I have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering pups in South Korea, volunteering with dog and cat rescues abroad, and doing drop-in animal care visits. My focus when sitting is assuring pets feel safe and loved while away from their loved ones. I understand separation can be difficult for both pets and owners. I'm keen to provide regular updates and photos of desired, and make time apart as cruisy and comfortable as possible.
Reviews
Rachel is fantastic and great with our dogs! We are definitely repeat clients!
Our pup was in such great care with Rachel! She was super attentive and gave us plenty of updates and photos while we were away. She definitely went the extra mile to make sure we and our pup were comfortable. Would 10/10 recommend Rachel to anyone! Thanks so much, Rachel!!
Rachel took great care of my furson. All rules followed. I got pictures and updates. I will recommend her to others!
Rachel is fantastic, she has a very calm vibe that certainly made my dogs feel comfortable very quickly. She sent us lots of updates regularly—we looked forward to her pictures of the dogs and updates about how they were doing. On top of that, she is a fantastic and considerate houseguest and we would 100% recommend her and will definitely be re-booking!

Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet
I believe the more details the better when coming to providing care for dogs. Every pup is different, so I'm best able to provide individualized care when I know about a dog's quirks, special needs, and behavioral tendencies.
A typical day
I love spending time outside and would be more than happy to take your dog(s) on for hikes or strolls around your neighborhood. Love a good backyard fetch sesh too!
