Availability

As a stay-at-home mom with a naturally flexible schedule, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I’m home throughout the day, which allows me to provide consistent attention, regular check-ins, and reliable feeding or walking times. Whether it’s stopping in for midday visits, keeping up with routine care, or offering extra time and companionship when pets need it, I can adjust my schedule to match each animal’s needs. My open availability means pets get dependable, unrushed care—and owners get peace of mind knowing someone responsible is always close by.

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routines consistent and making them feel safe and comfortable. In my home, pets enjoy a calm, clean environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular feeding and potty schedules. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their normal routines closely—feeding the same foods, maintaining familiar walk times, keeping litter boxes or living areas clean, and giving plenty of affection and company. I always make sure pets get the right balance of exercise, rest, and reassurance so they feel relaxed and well cared for, no matter where they are.

Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn as much as possible about their routines, preferences, and any special needs. It’s especially helpful to know their temperament, energy level, favorite activities, and how they typically behave around new people or other animals. I also ask about feeding schedules, medications, health concerns, allergies, and any quirks or triggers that might make them anxious or uncomfortable. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to keep them happy, safe, and feeling right at home.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged with fun activities that match their personality and energy level. For dogs, that might mean going on walks, playing fetch, exploring the yard, or enjoying some enrichment games and puzzle toys. Cats get plenty of playtime too—whether it’s chasing toys, exploring cozy spots, or soaking up gentle attention. For farm animals, I make sure they get enrichment through brushing, treats, and calm interaction that keeps them stimulated and comfortable. No matter the species, I always aim to make their time with me enjoyable, active, and full of positive attention.

Expert Care for Pets, Big and Small

Pet care experience

With 18 years of caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals, I truly love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether it’s a playful pup, a cuddly cat, or farm animals that thrive on routine and gentle handling, I’m dedicated to making every animal feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. From feeding and daily care to keeping their spaces clean and cozy, I treat every animal like part of the family. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets and farm animals are in kind, reliable hands while you’re away.

I’ve booked a couple times with Rachel now and she’s so friendly and good with my kitties! They really like her and have been so content when I get home!
