Highlights
Pet care experience
It's all about the furbabies 💜🐾
I have been fortunate to work in the animal/veterinary field for about 12 years now. I've worked in both private veterinary offices for routine and emergency care as well as sheltering and training environments. I truly believe each pet is an individual and places a great importance on learning what they enjoy in life. When caring for your pet I will strive to provide the care that YOUR pet needs and I will remain open and honest throughout my care. I am sensitive to anxious pups. I have one myself that is afraid to leave the house and my job is to advocate for him and his fears. I would strive to do the same for any anxious pet and want to make sure I help set them up for success.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm very strict with my heat exposures to my own dogs so we do find ample opportunities for puzzle games and activities in the house and I have a limit on outdoor time depending on the time of day/temperature of the day. Your pet's safety is truly my first priority. I want to make sure that we burn energy on walks but I do want to be mindful of your pets' health, especially in the summer heat. Favorite indoor activities are puzzles, searches and training games which may be great options when heat is just too much.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel has been a true blessing whenever we need a sitter for our German Shepherds. She is comfortable with this breed and larger dogs, which puts us - as well as our dogs - at ease in our absence! Rachel is our first contact when we need a sitter, as she’s extremely professional, very responsive, and leaves wonderful notes/photos!


Rachel was outstanding with our pups. We have 2 aussies and they are full of energy! She took them on walks and made sure they had lots of love when she was there! We would highly recommend her for caring for your pups! We will be using her again if/when we travel next!


Rachel is such an outstanding pet sitter - and so professional in her care! We feel so fortunate to have her care for our dogs in our absence. She cares for our dogs like they are part of her own family and goes above and beyond!


If I could give Rachel 10+ stars ⭐️, I would! Rachel is an outstanding pet sitter - from her prompt communication, professional demeanor, knowledge of animals, and awesome photos & detailed Rover visit cards. I highly recommend Rachel in all aspects caring for one’s family pets; we’ve used many pet sitters from Rover but Rachel is above and beyond the best. She treated our dogs like her own - what more could a pet owner want!


Rachel is amazing! I’ve had my dog for 14 yrs (his brother recently passed) and I needed someone I could trust with my old man. Some days he’ll be good to walk far other days not so much and thankfully she’s so knowledgeable about dogs she knows exactly what to do for him and what is safe for him. I was impressed when I met her and I trust her which is saying a lot coming from me as I’ve been very selective with who cares for my dog. I highly recommend her.
There are not enough nice things to say about Rachel. Her bond with animals of any species makes them almost not want to come home. Rachel has watched my crew for almost 7 years now, most specifically for my “old man” dog who was special needs. She is the only one I’d ever trust with my heart dog because he has huge anxiety issues, and mobility issues. She was generous enough to give his injections while I was gone, and she handle his legit panic attacks at 2a without a fuss. If you have a senior dog she will cater to their every desire. She is also super reassuring when I felt like I was being too intense about my expectations while I was gone, as my dogs always seem to be on a weird medication or supplement regimen when I go out of town. I always get daily updates and pictures, more when they do something cute or silly. She is detail oriented and thorough, to say the least. She even taught my Frenchie how to do a trick or two when he was there for a week! And if you know frenchies, you know how stubborn they are. She also introduced us both to enrichment toys and such to keep his little mind occupied. I’ve also had her drop-in on my last cat a few times when I took the dogs up to the mountains. And let’s just say “hissy pissy” was his middle name. She handles all walks of life and gives them all the TLC you want while you’re out of town. If I haven’t explained why you should look no further… well, it’s your baby’s loss… 🤷🏼♀️

Schedule
I am currently dedicating the majority of my time to care for your pets (and my own). I have fairly open flexibility and am open to helping as best as I can.
