This is my passion, and I do this full time! Helping owners have peace of mind when they have to leave their buddies behind for a bit, and keeping pets company and giving them love and care, that's extremely rewarding for me. Being helpful, compassionate, and spending time with animals is the dream. I can't imagine doing anything else!

Safety, trust & environment

Firstly, I want to say I understand meeting people online and inviting them into your home can be very anxiety inducing, and I want to reassure you that with me, your pet, your house, and your belongings are safe. If you have ANY questions or concerns, let me know. I'm here to help!

Information Rachel R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs and/or medication, and if they are shy or skiddish. If there is anything special I can do to help get them adjusted to me, let's make a plan!

A typical day

I am a fetch master. If you have the space and the ball, I can play fetch with dogs as long as it takes to get their energy used up! I also love to sit back and watch movies with them, and of course go for walks!

Pet care experience

I have been a part time dog sitter, cat sitter, house sitter, etc since I was 10 years old. I've also been a volunteer at my local animal shelter since I was 15. I've taken care of old dogs, young dogs, energetic dogs, couch potato dogs, friendly dogs, shy dogs, big dogs, small dogs, you name it. I've been doing this a long time and I've gotten really good understanding each pet and their individual needs. Every dog is different, and I love them all. I also have experience with dogs who need medications and ear drops, and I am Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid!

Rachel is a very professional and responsible young lady who takes her job seriously and does it well. We have two elderly special needs dogs, and we fully trust her judgement when it comes to their care. We appreciate knowing that they are in very capable hands while we are away. Good communication, honesty and dependability are so important in a pet sitter, and you will find that with Rachel.

Rachel is so so wonderful with animals! She did fantastic with our dogs and livestock animals on overnight stays while we were out of town. Our dogs absolutely love seeing her when she arrives. We will absolutely be using Rachel in the future when we have more jobs out of town. I would recommend Rachel to anyone needing an animal sitter!

Rachel dogsat my pitbull Jesse for a week. She asked me how often I like updates or check ins. That was great. I was worried hiring someone online, but the house looked better than when I left. Nothing was taken. She scuffed my vacuum but was honest and offered to get me a new one, but I don't care about a little mark on a vacuum. She took good care of Jesse, and the cleaning was an extra that was great. Would recommend.

Rachel surpassed expectations during her 4 day stay at our home. Our doggy got sick right away and she was responded as if our dog was her own. She communicated often and working through the problems together, she fixed our pup right up. On top of that, she helped us clean up our home as we were unable to get to everything before going away. The place was spotless and the dog was super happy. Rachel will absolutely watch our dog again.
