Pet care experience

I’m a dog person and a cat person!

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.

Pets

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.

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.

Upon meeting Rachel for the first time, my dogs were all over her and I immediately felt comfortable that she would take good care of them. She’s friendly and communicative. 100% recommend. Thank you Rachel!!!
