I am a teacher so during the school year I only do house sitting on the weekends! For drop in’s and dog walking, I am available both during the week and weekends, however I am not available until 4:00 pm or later on weekdays! I have a bunch of time off during the summer and would love to take on some extra work getting to help take care of your furry friends!

Safety, trust & environment

I like to stick to instructions, every pet is different and they all have different preferences and needs. But I can help give them potty breaks, meals, water, walks and exercise, play, cuddles, and just extra enrichment!

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

If you dog or cat likes anything specific, or has any specific needs I would be happy to accommodate! Each pet is different and you know your furry friends best, those tips and tricks can help me make their time the best it can be!

A typical day

Dogs need to have some fun! Playing with toys, fetch, walks, racing are all great ways to get those pups active! I’ll do whatever activity each pup prefers as long as both myself and the dog are safe! I’ve found that some cats really need the playtime, and some are more low energy. Let me know your cats needs and I’ll make sure I meet them!

My goal - to give your pet the best

Pet care experience

I’ve always been the go-to for taking care of my friends and family’s pets, I’ve helped many neighbors, friends and family! I started around 11 years old dog and cat sitting for a neighbor, and have since taken care of many dogs and cats when friends have gone on vacation, or been in the hospital. I was even the first person a friend called when needing help rescuing a kitten. I have owned both dogs and cats, and currently have 2 4-year old cats.

This was our second time using Rachel for our cat and she was amazing again! She gives very thorough descriptions after each visit and provides great pictures which made us feel at ease on our vacation! Would use her again and again!

Rachel was amazing. She stayed with our 2 cats while we were on vacation. She gave them lots of attention and care and also sent us lots of updates and pictures - which is greatly appreciated! She is quick to respond to questions and chats. We will absolutely rebook in the future. Thank you Rachel!

We have used Rachel a few times now. She always takes great care of our cat and leaves really detailed reports. She pays attention to detail and we know our cat & home are in great hands with her! Highly recommend!
