I'm a teacher currently on summer break, which means my schedule is very open and flexible! I have plenty of time each day to devote to caring for pets—whether it's long walks, playtime, drop-in visits, or overnight stays. Since I'm home most of the day, your pet will get lots of attention, love, and consistent care. It’s the perfect time for me to give your furry friend all the time and energy they deserve!

Loving Pet Care You Can Count On!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Rachel, a lifelong animal lover and devoted pet parent to two adorable pups: Bilbo, my sweet and cuddly Cavapoo (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel/Poodle mix), and Frodo, my energetic and spunky Yorkipoo (Yorkie/Poodle mix). They’re not just pets—they’re family, and that’s exactly how I’ll treat your furry companions too. Whether you're looking for a dependable dog walker, a loving sitter while you're on vacation, or someone to drop in and say hi to your pet during the day, I’ve got you covered. I know how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands—and I’m here to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and well-loved. Let’s chat and set up a meet & greet—I'd love to meet you and your pet!

Rachel did a phenomenal job at watching my two Shepherd mix dogs. I was able to be completely disconnected from cell signal without worry for my boys. She was very communicative and even agreed to a meet and greet and booking last minute for me! If you’re unsure if Rover is for you, don’t be and request Rachel immediately!◡̈

My sister is a truly special person—especially when it comes to Bilbo and Frodo. The way she cares for them goes beyond basic responsibility; it’s clear she loves them like family. Whether she’s out on walks, playing fetch, or just curled up with them on the couch, she brings out the best in both dogs. Bilbo’s curious and affectionate Cavapoo energy and Frodo’s spunky Yorkipoo personality both seem to thrive under her attention and love. She knows each of their quirks—how Bilbo might tilt his head when he’s confused or how Frodo gets that little spark of mischief in his eyes before darting off. And she gives them both the kind of patience, consistency, and affection that all dogs deserve but not all dogs are lucky enough to get. It’s not easy being a great dog mom, but she clearly makes it look natural. Honestly, Bilbo and Frodo hit the jackpot.
