Pet care experience

Flexible schedule-18+yrs Experience

I’ve always believed that dogs are truly part of the family, and I take great pride in caring for them as such. I’m the devoted pet parent of Ana, a rescue Lab/Border Collie/Chow mix, and Stark, a Caucasian Ovcharka. I’m also “auntie” to my sister’s two pups—Meeko, an Australian Shepherd, and Sven, a Norwegian Elkhound. I’ve grown up around dogs of every size, from tiny teacups to Great Danes, and have hands-on experience with all life stages from puppy to senior. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with a variety of health conditions, including thyroid disorders, diabetes, heartworm, arthritis, parvovirus, esophageal issues, and gastrointestinal concerns. I also have basic to intermediate training experience and enjoy working on positive reinforcement skills. Because I work for myself, my schedule is flexible and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care. I love going on walks—whether a quick stroll or a 4+ mile adventure—playing fetch, teaching basic tricks, and, of course, giving plenty of belly rubs. *I AM EMPLOYED AS A CHEF- please note that my schedule can be demanding at times and is subject to change. Recently my shifts are 2:30pm/3pm-11pm MTWFSat. I am off on Thursdays and Sundays.

Safety, trust & environment

At this time due to some home renovations, I do not provide care at my home. I do provide in-home care for clients. I firmly believe in leaving places as if I was never there. My job is to simply substitute for the duration of your absence. I only stay in public places/designated areas of client’s homes. I actually encourage the use of “nanny cams” or any form of Audio/Visual monitoring. It’s your home and I want you to feel 100% comfortable while I’m there. Please just let me know if you have AV(audio/visual) monitoring prior to booking.

We came home to 3 happy dogs! Rachel is exactly what we were hoping to find on Rover! She came by twice before we left to meet the dogs and let them get used to her. From the moment she took over care she sent pictures and updates regularly. Allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing that our babies were happy and safe! Have already started planing our next getaway!

Rachel took great care of our senior pug and administered eye drops and lotion multiple times. She sent plenty of photos throughout the long day to keep us updated on how he was doing. We appreciated her conscientiousness and will definitely use Rachel again.
