Highlights
Pet care experience
Needy dogs a specialty!
I've decided to join Rover in memory of my lovely girl Missy, who I lost last year at 15 years old. Although I loved her, it was difficult to look after her in her final years, and I couldn't find anyone to help when all I needed was a night off. So I'm happy to spend time with your pets! For day boarding, I work from home and love to have company hanging out in my office. I have a fenced garden they can explore. When I'm house sitting, I am Cardiff based and can take shorter bookings. I can travel for longer bookings (fuel charge may apply). I am happy to sleep in the same bed for the really needy ones. My partner Alex usually accompanies me- he loves dogs too! I can also do day and evening sits in your house- I know how important it is to have a day or night out while your pet stays in a familiar environment. My earnings from Rover go towards sponsoring Wallace, a rescue currently in foster care at Pawpers In The Ruff in Macedonia.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My garden is fully fenced. If it's warm enough to leave the back door open, they'll have free access to the back garden. Pets will usually hang out with me in my ground floor office. There's a door between the hallway and front door to prevent escapees. No other pets live here. When I'm in your home, I'll ask for full details on how your pet needs to be cared for. I'm used to a very needy dog! I have access to a car with a full, clean driving licence. DBS checked. LGBTQ+ friendly.
Ratings and reviews
Amazing lady !!! Looking forward to to the next sitting.😄🥰🥰
Rachel is an outstanding pet sitter. Clear and friendly communication before and during the sitting, photos and short updates every day (without me even asking) - which put my mind at rest and allowed me to enjoy my holiday. Rachel left the house beautifully and even gave a cute hand written report on the pets and a thank you card. I couldn’t have wished for better care for my pets 🐶🐱🐱❤️🌟🙏🏽
Rachel was fantastic with Patch and Millie. She was very understanding about our last-minute change of time, and the dogs settled in really well. We’d highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again.
Rachel is brilliant. Rufus was so settled with her and didn’t experience any of his usual anxiety, being away from home. Rufus is looking forward to Rachel coming to stay in July 🐶🙂
Absolutely brilliant! Great updates and Myrtle was always super excited to arrive at Rachel’s every morning. Thanks for taking such good care of her!
Rachel was absolutely wonderful house sitting for our elderly Airedale. We had plenty of updates and photos and Lotty was happy and contented when we returned . She is totally trustworthy and competent as well as kind and gentle and the house was lovely and tidy. We look forward to having her to stay again.

Schedule
I work full time from home, so have lots of space and flexibility for pet care. Weekdays are usually better but feel free to ask!
