The innocence of animals comes 1st

I had previously stated in my profile, that I was called to animals since I was a little girl. I remember walking home from school and would gain the trust of a stray cat that followed me home. Animals of all species have been a staple in my childhood and adult home until this day. I am also a registered nurse whose specialty landed in senior care. I have a natural ability to connect with the elderly and understand the stage of life they are in and the psychology that comes with it. Through this, I have also been able to be a good advocate for my patients and their families. My husband and I currently have a senior cat that has cognitive decline that I was able to pick up on, as well as my suspicion of kidney disease. Through this knowledge, and with our vet, she is thriving now through patience and dedication.to her needs. This is not easy for us. But, she is our little girl. My nursing has also been an huge benefit to better serve and care for all of my little guys. Hamsters in my home have suffered all diseases from a stroke, cancer, kidney failure and heart failure etc. All of which received the best medical attention and best dedicated care until they crossed the rainbow bridge. I am grateful to see how my nursing has also enhanced my ability to better serve animals as well as humans. My heart is full of unconditional love and kindness. I am grateful to be of service to any walk of life.

Milo had a wonderful stay! I got regular updates and photos, which made me feel totally at ease while away. Rachel was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, which I really appreciated. Milo came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious he was treated with lots of love and attention. I would absolutely book again and highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter.

Rachel made an instant connection with our pups and made sure to thoroughly communicate, especially when there was some confusion, to ensure our girls got the care they needed!

Safety, trust & environment

Our motto in this house is "these are our children, regardless of the size, they will be given the best life they deserve". We do have a fully fenced yard, though we currently do not have a dog. Any animal that comes in our care, will be treated the same as we treat our own. The cats, the chinchillas, and the hamsters can mingle amongst each other in our house. They actually each have a food bowl for each species side by side in the kitchen. The house is clean, the cages are clean and the environment is safe for any animal that enters. Time, dedication, discipline, love and patience exists in this house.

Pets

A typical day

Every dog, cat etc. is different! My first question to the owner is to tell me about what makes their fur baby happy! Is it fetch? Is it a particular toy? Is it just simply time spent? Is it just love and attention? Whatever makes the animal happy is what is my duty to honor!

Please read the above! Pets all have individual needs and PERSONALITIES, There is not a cookie cutter approach to honoring a life big or small. Animals cannot speak for themselves. The owners need to disclose all of their needs and concerns first to enable the best care for them. Therefore, please share and be honest about you and your pet
