Safety, trust & environment

I pay quality attention to the animals body language when being introduced for the first time and am not afraid of more vocal pets. Timid animals are totally fine and I respect if an animal doesn't want to be cuddled all the time.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Any medical conditions I need to be aware of if your dog is dog friendly in case you want to have my dog play with it or in case we are out on a walk. Also, my rates do change if the dog is not potty trained. I do not board unspayed females due to having 2 male dogs.

A typical day

I love spending time outside throwing a ball and taking walks with any size dog, and have studied lots of ways to best stimulate cats for quality exercise and play!

Pet care experience

I have been with Rover for 7 years now and learned a lot throughout the years. I have always had a passion for animals and was even a vet assistant before covid closed the clinic I worked at. I have a lot of patience with dogs and cats, I love helping watch the ones who are timid or need extra time to adjust. I'm not scared of dogs who are very vocal toward strangers. I understand that not all dogs or cats want or need the same type of care and I am able to adjust based on what every dog needs.

We booked Rachel pretty last minute to do a drop in visit this week and were very happy with her service. She was extremely responsive to messages, stopped by to meet us beforehand and kept us updated during and after the visit. Our dogs were happy when we got home. Would definitely recommend and book her again. :)

Rachel was amazing with my scared pup. She was very patient with him when he ran and hid. She stayed very calm as he was scared. She let him lead the interaction and come to her when he was ready. She didn’t note time with him than was scheduled due to this, and I appreciate the care and concern she took with him so much. Would definitely recommend her & trust her with my baby again.

She and her kids had a great time with our fur baby cat! She pet her brushed her and just kept her a happy camper. When she came over and met her she was amazed how docile she was with people. I would definetely hire her again. She seems like a great sitter. She sent us lots of pics of Pretty too.
