Pet care experience

Active, Reliable & Animal-Obsessed

I’ve had all kinds of animals my entire life, so being around pets and taking care of them has always just come naturally to me. Right now I have two of my own, and they’re truly like my kids—I treat them with a lot of love, attention, and care, and that’s exactly how I approach every pet I watch. What really sets me apart is how seriously I take that responsibility. I don’t just “watch” pets—I treat them like they’re my own, or how I would want someone to treat mine. That means making sure they’re not only safe, but comfortable, getting attention, exercise, and sticking to their normal routine as much as possible. I’m comfortable with all types of pets—high-energy dogs that need long walks and play, as well as more laid-back or older pets that just need patience and a calm environment. I pay attention to behavior, mood, and the little things, because I know how important it is to trust the person taking care of your animal. At the end of the day, I just genuinely love being around animals, and I want both you and your pet to feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Since I provide care in your home, my goal is to keep everything as close to your pet’s normal routine as possible. I know how important it is for pets to feel comfortable in their own environment, so I focus on consistency, patience, and making sure they feel safe while you’re away. I treat your home with the same respect I would expect someone to treat mine. I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walk routines, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences you have for your pet’s care. Safety is a top priority for me. On walks, I stay alert, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure your pet is always secure. During drop-ins, I make sure doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk are properly handled before I leave. I also believe communication is huge, so I’ll always keep you updated with messages, photos, and how your pet is doing so you can have peace of mind. At the end of the day, I treat your pet like my own and your home with respect—you can trust they’re in good hands.

Rachel is incredible with my dog Mia! Always attentive and reliable, I have recommended her to every dog mama I know. She always sends me updates and I’m convinced at this point Mia may like her more than me
