Rescue mom helping other fur-parent

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was very young! I’ve always had a cat and a dog for as long as I can remember. When I first moved out on my own, I started helping with rescues. So as you can imagine, I also started adopting them too! I’m a total cat whisperer and have an empty guest room for your cat to stay, or if you prefer him to socialize I have the two friendliest orange tabbies! I’m a pro at giving meds to them too if needed! When it comes to dogs, I’m always down for another friend for Thor to play with! I work from home two days a week, and my boyfriend works at home everyday. We have a fenced in backyard. My only condition is that your dog does well around cats, and that we meet your dog and Thor on neutral ground ahead of time. Thor is a great dog, but does have an alpha streak so I like to make sure that there isn’t a personality clash. If your dog needs to be crated, you’ll need to bring one. I have several dog gates and can close them off in the kitchen over night if needed.

Rachel did great for us again while we left for a week long vacation. Tubby loves hanging out with her!

Rachel was great! Always on time and always had fun updates each day. She even brought our trash can in one day which we had spaced. We will definitely use her again!

Rachel reached out to us prior to our visit and asked to come get the run down of the visit, which I thought was great. She is a good, energetic person and very much well equipped to take care of our two cats. She sent us pics and a very nice update of how they were doing. Pick Rachel!

Rachel is awesome! My German Shepard Vera got along great with her dog Thor. Rachel sent me regular pictures and updates. I was very pleased and will definitely be looking forward to using her again!

My pupper is iffy with other dogs, so I don't do in house boarding anymore unless you have a puppy under one year. He's great with puppies! For cats, mine have three litter boxes and I’m used to cleaning them and administering medicine if needed. I know that giving meds to cats can be like exorcising a demon, but I’m used to it.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Must know about how a dog is house broken. Do they have a tell when they have to go out? Especially in puppies it’s good to know to prevent accidents and help maintain consistent house training.

A typical day

Walks on local trails or around the neighborhood. I love to throw the ball in the backyard and snuggle up on the coach with them after.
