Pet care experience

I have taken care of my family's dogs since early in my childhood, as well as walking and feeding neighborhood dogs. I volunteered as a dog walker for the local Humane Society all throughout high school and worked with a huge variety of dogs. In college, I volunteered as a pet sitter for service dogs in training. In this role I was responsible for care and training of dogs with very specific training needs. Since then, I have loved watching friends' pets as much as possible and I cant wait to meet your furry friends!

Rachel was so great about checking in and asking questions. One of my cats even felt safe enough to sit on her lap and purr <3 I will definitely be rebooking her again for my cats. Thanks Rachel!

This was our first time with Rachel for drop-ins and she was amazing! She was on time, took great care of the pets, and was very professional when I messed up a key situation. Can’t recommend her enough!

Rachel is so great about working with my weird building access schedule and making sure Hoover feels loved while I'm away.
