Availability
I work Monday to Thursday from 8:15-4:00 and Fridays from 9–2:00, which still leaves me plenty of free time before and after work, as well as evenings and weekends, to dedicate to pet care. This makes me available for dog walks, pee breaks, and drop-in visits outside of my work hours, plus more flexible time on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to plan around your pet’s routine so they get the consistency, love, and attention they need.

About Rachel S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a calm, familiar environment where they feel safe and secure. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that means regular feeding schedules, playtime, walks, or quiet companionship. I’m respectful of your home, keeping everything clean and tidy while giving your pets the care and attention they deserve. On walks and during quick visits for pee breaks, I always keep safety top of mind, staying alert to surroundings and following any special instructions you provide. I take time to build trust with each pet so they feel comfortable and happy in my care. Clear communication with pet owners is also important to me, so you’ll always be updated with messages or photos while you’re away.
Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet
Before spending time with your pet, it’s super helpful to know a bit about their routine and personality. Things like their favorite activities, how they do on walks, and if they have any health issues, allergies or medications are great to know ahead of time. Every pet is different, so the more info you can share, like what makes them happy, what stresses them out, or if they have any house rules, the better I can make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with your pet includes lots of love, attention, and time doing whatever makes them happiest! For dogs, that might be a good walk around the neighborhood, some playtime with their favorite toys, or just relaxing together with belly rubs and ear scratches. If they’re more energetic, we might throw in a game of fetch or a little backyard adventure. For cats and other pets, I make sure they get the care and stimulation they need, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just some calm company while they nap in their favorite spot. I always try to keep their day as close to their usual routine as possible, so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

Caring For Your Pets Like My Own
Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up on an acreage surrounded by dogs, cats, and farm animals taught me responsibility, compassion, and how to understand animal behavior from a young age. That foundation has grown into years of hands-on experience with pets of all kinds, including senior animals, high-energy breeds, and those with special needs. What sets me apart is my calm, attentive approach and genuine love for animals. I’m confident handling a variety of personalities, experienced in administering medications, and trained in basic pet first aid. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, or gentle companionship, I tailor my care to meet their individual needs, always with safety and kindness at the heart of it.
Reviews
Rachel was very good with our 10 week old puppy and 4 year old dog. It was a pleasure having her! Will definitely invite her to support again!
We just had Rachel stay with our 2 pups for a few days over Christmas and she was so great! Gave lots of love to the dogs, Great communication, kept the house in great condition. Will definitely be using her again in the future!
Super responsive and accommodating! I will Definitely ask Rachel to take care of our pup again!
Rachel was great with our loud obnoxious, fearful dogs. She followed instructions on how to meet them and they loved her. Our house was also exactly as we left it.
