Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what special requirements your animal may have and I will make sure they get them. Leaving your animals behind can be stressful, and I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible while you’re gone.

A typical day

I will walk your dog around your neighborhood, take them to the park to play fetch, or even to a calm spot on the river to swim. Whatever they enjoy while you’re around, I want them to enjoy while you’re gone!

Pet care experience

Hello! I‘m Rachel, by day I’m the Packaging Quality Specialist at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, but by morning and night I’m taking care of your pets! I have two dogs and two cats at home, and I have helped tend to the river otters, raptors, and amphibians at the WNC Nature Center, so if you have it as a pet, chances are I can tend to it. I feel comfortable administering medication, and am more than happy to prepare special meals for animals with specific diets. I go the extra mile for any animal in need, and will ensure that you are comfortable leaving your furry (or scaly) companion under my watch!

Rachel was so sweet and easy to work with despite a last minute booking on our end. She took great care watching over my baby while I was gone, I would have her come back in an instant!

We can't say enough good things about Rachel and her care of our sweet mini-Border Collie, Max. She was immediately responsive when we requested her through Rover; was professional, punctual and friendly when we met at our house to have her meet Max and learn what needed to be done with him (walking and feeding him twice a day) and the house while we were away; and she updated us continuously while we were gone. She was in touch with us immediately when Max appeared to be under the weather, describing behaviors and symptoms without causing us alarm, but with definite concern and a seasoned eye for what seemed to be normal and what was not. We really appreciated her professionalism and her good common sense, and it was clear to us she had taken good care of Max while we were absent. The house looked great when we returned too. We would use her again without hesitation! Thank you Rachel!!! :)
