Pet care experience

I am a huge animal lover!

I have over six years of hands‑on experience working at a doggy daycare. In addition to my daycare work, I’ve spent more than four years fostering both dogs and cats, giving me extensive experience with pets who need extra patience, structure, and individualized care. I’m skilled in basic grooming, including bathing, brushing, nail trimming, and light coat maintenance. I also have experience with training fundamentals such as leash manners, crate comfort, and reinforcing positive behaviors. Whether a dog needs frequent walks, playtime, a trip to the dog park, or just some snuggles, I’m able to match their energy and routine. I’m comfortable with all pet breeds and personalities, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and kindness. I also provide regular photo updates so owners can see how their pet is doing and feel confident that their family member is happy and well cared for.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I create a calm, loving environment whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I follow all care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure each pet feels comfortable, supported, and genuinely cared for. I tailor my approach to their personality and needs, so your pet is happy and well loved.

Rachel is very friendly and was willing to work with my uncertain travel schedule. Her willingness to be flexible greatly helped me and was willing to do whatever necessary to help ease my concerns. My dog had a great time during her stay and my home was just the way I left it. Would book again.

Rachel was great with my pups staying at my house while I was on vacation! The house was as if we never left and my pups were cares for and happy!

Rachel is AMAZING!!! Our dog is high energy and has anxiety. Rachel did amazing with him! He loved her from the start. I am always nervous leaving him, but this time I was not because I knew he was in great hands! We are so grateful we found Rachel! I recommend her to anyone looking for a person to love their animal when they are away!

Schedule

I work full‑time in a hybrid remote/in‑office role, and my in‑office schedule is very flexible. I’m even able to bring dogs into the office! I’m highly adaptable and can adjust to your pet’s routine, whether that means specific feeding times, walks, or check‑ins. When I’m with your pet, their schedule is my schedule.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

Rachel can host up to 6 drop-ins per day
I’d like to know any medication(s) they may need, allergies, the owner’s furniture rules for their pets, and what your pet doesn’t like, if anything.
