Safety, trust & environment

Every pet is special in the sense they have their own personality and needs. The secret is letting them come to you to establish trust.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there’s anything in advance that may be unique to your animal. I create a tailored experience depending on the owner and the animal, so any details before hand are helpful.

A typical day

It really depends on what the pet and the owner want. I’m happy to either play around, or just snuggle. I’m prepared for a very active animal, or a lazier one. I love ‘em all.

Pet care experience

I pride myself on being professional, kind, and easy to work with - that’s what I’d want in a sitter and that’s what I wish to provide you! I’ve been an animal lover all my life and have had various different pets. Elderly, cranky, shy, doesn’t matter, I love them all! A little about me… I’m a Portland native born and raised. I’m self employed and love having the flexibility to offer care whenever you may need. I’m able to administer subcutaneous medicine and most other meds your animal may need. I can’t wait to hear from you and meet your fur baby.

Rachel did a great job checking on and feeding our cats! She went above and beyond and even brought in some packages that had come. Would love to have her sit again!

Rachel is the best. Reliable, great with our senior kitty. Always gives lots of love and attention. She makes it so easy for us to get away and really enjoy it without worry.

Rachel took such good care of my two cats and provided detailed updates to let me know they were doing well. I was worried about leaving my senior cat for two weeks, but she was in great hands with Rachel — and I know my younger cat appreciated all the playtime and love. Rachel was professional, patient with all the detailed instructions I left, and so understanding of my senior cat’s needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
