Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I follow all instructions carefully and make sure your pet is comfortable and calm. I genuinely care about ensuring they are never in distress while you’re away. In addition to following your directions, I pay close attention to your pet’s needs and respond accordingly. I am respectful of your home and have no issues with cameras or other monitoring.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special qualities I should be aware of. This could include medical needs, fears, past traumas, favorite places to go, or habits—like whether they eat right away or need a little “alone time” first. Basically, anything you think I should know to make your fur baby’s day as happy and comfortable as possible!

A typical day

I follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding and taking them out at the times they’re used to. We’ll start the day with a nice walk, enjoy some playtime, and then I’ll head home until it’s time for their next meal or bathroom break. I’m happy to adjust my schedule to fit your pet’s specific needs!For dogs, I love walks, fetch, tug, and plenty of attention and belly rubs. For kitties, I enjoy playing cat-and-mouse with strings and toys, giving scratches, and showering them with love and affection. I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level so everyone has a happy, fun day!

Pups to Purrs: Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Rachel! I am currently the Dining Room Manager for Ardenwoods Retirement community. I work Tuesday-Saturday 12:00pm-8:30pm and am joining Rover in the hopes of dog sitting/walking for people on the weekends. I myself have an F2 Labradoodle named Lincoln, Velocilincoln, sorry for the Jurassic park reference. I have worked with and around dogs since I was 10 years old. I was the only kid in the neighborhood who was home during the week because I was a homeschooler so naturally I figured out this put me in a prime position to be a dog walker. I made flyers, put them in people’s mailbox and eventually became a the neighborhood dog walker. There was Wolfie the Schnauzer, Jeep and Sierra the Vizslas, Ginger the Golden retriever, Cinnamon a gorgeous mixed breed, and Terra a giant German Shepherd. I walked and cared for the pups everyday until I started high school. Big, Small, Bold, Reserved, I love em all and will care for them like my own!

Rachel was great! She was warm and responsive and sent lots of updates. She even went beyond and troubleshooted our robot litter box when it wasn’t working properly. I would definitely rebook her.

Rachel was so great! She sent lots of pictures and updates while we were away! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better to watch our pup.

Rachel has always been great with animals. She is very caring and loving when bathing our dog. She loves them and they love her, always have and always will. She is a super great dog/cat sitter.
