Highlights
Pet care experience
experienced animal lover
I’ve been caring for animals since a young age, starting with my family’s cats and dog sitting for neighbors and friends. I’ve gained hands-on experience volunteering at the Nebraska Humane Society, where I assisted with pre- and post-operative care. More recently I started working at a doggy daycare. I also care for my own cat, Binx, and guinea pig, Dewy, and I regularly help with my family’s energetic black lab, Charlie. As a pet owner of an animal with specific dietary needs, I understand the importance of following detailed instructions and maintaining consistency in care. I’m also very patient when it comes to administering medication, especially with pets who aren’t fans of it.

Safety, trust & environment
I focus on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine to minimize stress. I follow feeding, walk, and care instructions closely and pay attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels to catch any changes early. I have hands-on experience with medical care in animals, so I’m comfortable administering medications and caring for pets with special needs. I’m especially patient with anxious pets or those who aren’t fans of meds (I have one of my own, so I get it). For high-energy dogs, I make sure they get enough exercise and engagement. Im ready to head to the dog park and play fetch to their hearts' content. I’m also mindful of home safety and cleanliness, and I’ll send regular updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel watched my dog and did an absolutely wonderful job. She is responsible, attentive, and clearly loves animals — she has her own cat and guinea pig, so she knows how to care for pets of all kinds. I came home to a happy dog and couldn't recommend her more!

Schedule
I currently have a very flexible schedule and can dedicate consistent, high-quality time to pet care throughout the day. Before beginning my PhD program this fall, I’m spending my time doing what I love, working with animals. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and for short-notice bookings, and I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine to provide dependable, attentive care.
