Avid hiker and animal lover

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting and dog walking/hiking on and off for the past 20 years. I truly love spending time with animals, they are such fun and amazing creatures. I am looking to turn this love of pets into a career so that I am better able to give your pets my undivided attention while they are in my care. I have worked for traditional kennels in the past, and while many dogs do fine in traditional boarding facilities, I have seen first hand how this environment is not suited to all pets, some animals need more one on one attention than can be offered at a kennle. That is what I hope to offer to your pet; love, individual care, and a whole lot of playtime and exercise! I am available for overnights at your home, for home visits one or more times per day, and for walks, hikes, or playtime at the local dog park.

Rachel is awesome! Second time around and fur kids were just as well cared for - she was available over a holiday on short notice and truly made our last minute plans possible. Detailed updates, great photos & happy campers all round!

Rachel was wonderful! Our three pets had a wonderful time, lots of personalized attention, daily photo updates and she left the house exactly as she found it. Will definitely re-book - highly recommend!

Rachel is a fantastic petsitter. She cared for our two cats for a week while we were away. They're both very shy, to the point where one usually hides from other petsitters and refuses to eat or ever come out. Within a few days, Rachel had earned his trust to the point where he would roll over, belly-up and ask for pets! She's also an excellent communicator and lovely person in general. I would definitely recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 20 years of experience working with pets of all kinds, and have pet-sat in a variety of different homes. When I watch your pet(s) they receive my full attention, I am able to be there for them night and day.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences and have worked with dogs with behavioral issues in the past and I am happy to continue to do so as long as I am made aware of them before hand.

A typical day

My home is located in scenic Cornwall NY, we have sidewalks lining out Main Street that runs the length of the town which makes for a very pleasant walk. We also have many great hiking trails as well as a fenced in dog park. There’s no shortage of fun ways to get your pup out and about for some exercise. And as long as your pup is up for it (not all dogs are so this is a case by case basis) walks and hikes are done all year round, rain or shine (exceptions are made for severe weather conditions).
