Safety, trust & environment

With any animal, I always try to establish trust before making contact. I let them sniff my hand first and then go from there. I’m always careful with all animals and I make sure they have the right food or medication! Based on their health and ability, I also love to play fetch with them or dangle a cat toy for them.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or medication. I am happy to work with all types of dogs, from small to large, from puppy to senior! And same goes for cats, birds, etc.

A typical day

I take dogs for walks, play with them, give them cuddles. With cats, I let them take the wheel - some love the attention and some don't!

Pet care experience

As long as I can remember, I’ve had a pet. I grew up with Boston Terriers, then as an adult I had a border collie/Australian shepherd mix, a border collie/black lab mix that I got when she was a puppy, and currently I have two cats and a mini macaw. I can’t imagine my life without animals! They’re the best.

Rachel has been my regular cat sitter for 3 months now. She has play sessions with my super high energy cat 3 days a week while I'm at work. She's very good with him and my other cat who is a nervous scaredy cat. She is always kind and communicative. She's also flexible when I need to change dates or cancel a session (usually because I've called out or switched a shift) and she gives me plenty of advance warning if there's ever a day she won't be available. I recommend Rachel to anyone, but especially if you're in a situation like me where you need a regular sitter to come consistently.

We always have a wonderful experience using Rachel. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received daily updates and photos. A special thank you for taking such great care of Raya and ensuring she received her medications. Knowing that her medical needs were being handled with such attention and care meant a great deal to us. It was clear that Raya and Lupin felt comfortable around Rachel. Hopefully, the other two cats will warm up to her next time as well. We will continue to book with her for all of our Rover pet care needs. Thank you again!

Rachel is so easygoing and reliable - I love working with her and my very anti-social cat has warmed up to her too. Highly recommended.
