Availability

I am a full time student with a flexible schedule and am available most weekends. My Fridays and Mondays are often free as well for those interested in a pet sitter for a long weekend. During the week my time is divided between classes and my internship, but I most of my work is done virtually and so I usually stay local and am available for visits and walks. Check my calendar! I do my best to keep it up to date each month.

Safety, trust & environment

Although I cannot take care of pets in my own home (I rent), I am more than happy to make sure your furry friend and home are well taken care of. I can be with your pet for a large portion of the day as needed, and you can depend on me for frequent check in’s. The health and safety of your pets is my priority.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know any specific needs your pet my have! I’d like to know there behavior around other pets, people, and at home. I don’t sleep with pets. If there are any goals you are working on with them, I’d love to know if I can help in anyway!

A typical day

Morning and evenings walks when the California sunshine isn’t so hot is essential! I am comfortable driving pets if that is something you would like me to do to find local parks and hikes. I am an avid walker and hiker and love being outside with the fur friends. I also enjoy the simpleness of playing with a pet and sticking to there regular routine.

Perfect pal for high energy pups!

Pet care experience

I am a high energy person and I love going on hikes. I am more than happy take doggos in my car to find good places get their energy out. I grew up with dogs and was the go to pet-walker for my neighbors. I have a knack for getting dogs to listen and also for having a good time with them. I am also comfortable and experienced caring for cats and birds.

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.
