Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Happy to administer oral or injected medication. I will need to do a meet and greet to make sure you're dog is ok with Max and vice versa.

A typical day

Max and I always go for a walk first thing then breakfast, playtime, and then a nap for him. I love to play fetch, tug of war, and hide things for the dogs to dig out of blankets or boxes.

Pet care experience

I've been petsitting for over 20 years and I am also proud fur mama to a 14 lb. Yorkie/Dachsund names Maximillian. Max LOVES other dogs and we would love to keep your dog company while you're out of town. I'm on vacation for the summer so we would love to host your furry friends for a visit for a day or overnight or visit them at your place.

We are so glad we found Rachel on Rover. She is lovely, kind and a very caring person. Our shy little guy enjoyed his time with her and her friendly pup, Max. We will definitely have her care for our pup again.

We recently had the pleasure of using Rachel to watch our mini schnauzer mix, Woody, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. It’s clear that Rachel genuinely loves dogs—she took the time to learn everything about Woody to ensure he received the best care possible. Woody is extremely attached to me, and Rachel went above and beyond to make his stay as calm and anxiety-free as possible. Her thoughtful approach and attention to his needs meant a lot to us. We’re very grateful for the care she gave our pup and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and attentive dog sitter.

Rachel is absolutely wonderful! She is so flexible and great to work with. It’s our second time working with her and we highly recommend her to any pet parents!

Rachel was wonderful with our two pups! We really enjoyed working with her and meeting her own fur baby, Marty. Thanks for everything, Rachel!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
