Highly Experienced

Pet care experience

Name: Rachel Profile Title: Experienced Pet Care Specialist About Me: Hello! I'm Rachel, and I'm passionate about providing top-notch care for your beloved pets. With over 40 years of professional experience and 50 years of personal experience, I have a deep understanding of medical, emotional, and geriatric pet needs. As a former Veterinary Technician, I can confidently manage allergies, administer medications in various forms, and offer comfort to pets dealing with severe stress or attachment disorders. I’m unable to accommodate home visits for safety reasons but I’m happy to meet you at the park. Services Offered: * Small Pet Care: Due to my recent recovery from a broken leg, I specialize in caring for pets under 10 lbs, including small/mini dogs and cats. * Doggy Doula Services: If you're expecting puppies or kittens, I can care for the expecting Momma and help you set up a comfortable space for the soon-to-be arrivals. * Dog Walking: I'm available as a regular dog walker for pet owners in the Eckington neighborhood of DC. * Boarding: I offer boarding services for both cats and dogs. I only board one family's pets at a time to ensure they receive individual attention. * Pick-up/Drop-off: I can assist you by picking up and dropping off your pets, making your visit more convenient. I charge a minimal fee to cover ride-sharing expenses. * Cat Care: For cat owners, I provide litter, two brand new litter boxes, scoopers, and box liners at no extra cost, saving you time and effort before your trip. My Approach: I understand the strong bond between pets and their owners, having experienced it myself with my cat, Nony, who was my loyal companion for 19 wonderful years. I'll treat your pet as if they were my own, offering them a vacation experience while you're away. Your furry baby will be in the caring hands of their "Auntie Rachel." Reviews and Recommendations: I have garnered over 50 Five Star reviews from satisfied customers, and more than 50% of my clients are repeat customers. Your furry friend will undoubtedly enjoy spending time with me. I recommend booking early, especially during peak holiday seasons, as my calendar tends to fill up quickly. Choose me, and you won't regret entrusting your pet's well-being to an experienced and compassionate pet care specialist. Your pet will be in good hands, receiving the love and attention they deserve while you attend to your time away.

Rachel was super caring with our little cat, and really communicative while we were away! We found out just a couple weeks before taking a trip that our cat has a kidney issue, so it was an extra relief knowing that she was in good care and company with Rachel for the week!

We are very happy with Rachel’s care of our two cats. She helped them acclimate to her home, let them sleep with her, and provided loving care. She gave our older cat her medicine and shared pointers with us on how to give the medicine. We received regular reports and photos. Rachel treated our cats as though they were her’s and we are grateful for the care she provided.

Rachel is wonderful! I was so nervous to leave my kitten for a long trip, but Rachel made me feel completely at ease, with lots of pictures and updates while I was away. Rachel also helped give my little guy his medicine and gave him plenty of stimulation and snuggles during his stay. So glad I found her!

Rachel continues to be my go-to sitter for long trips away from my kitties. She seems to have a second sense for how to engage them and is incredibly communicative.

A typical day

I like to throw balls or frisbees with dogs. It’s satisfying to see them plop down after a fun outing. I’m learning my way around DC so you’ll notice that we might go to some of the city’s many walk friendly and dog friendly attractions.

I’m an artist with a small studio room in my home to keep pets and art supplies separated. I love to cuddle with furry blankets. I typically spend 24/7 with pets when in my care unless I have a nearby doctor appointment. I have a camera that I can view from my phone and extra large bathroom and a crate to keep everyone safe and secure.
