Vet Assistant & aspiring vet

Pet care experience

I currently work full time as a veterinary assistant. I have experience administering medications, grooming, working with dogs with behaviors, and doing treatments. I have dogs who have special needs as well as a senior dog. I also have a variety of experience with cats and kittens ranging from giving medications, pilling, nail trimming, and basic care including cats that can become overstimulated. I have worked with a large variety and quantity animals who have had varying ranges of medical needs and activity levels.

Rachel and Matt were amazing with our dog!! He was spoiled just like at home and I didn’t have to worry at all about his care while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Rachel! She was fast to respond and gave daily updates.

Rachel did drop-ins for our diabetic cat + checked in on our chickens. She was timely, detailed and did a wonderful job ensuring our cat was fed and given his medicine as needed. We loved receiving updates and pictures from her. We would love to have her pet sit for us again!

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

How the animal does with people, especially people who are new. Is there any triggers that have that might cause them to be fearful, shy, or aggressive. Do they have any special preferences for certain things. Are they good motivated or attention motivated. What is the best way to redirect them if needed. Is there any health or behavioral concerns?

A typical day

One of the things I like to do is provide kongs for dogs I watch as a way to help mentally stimulate them. I also enjoy taking them on walks, running with them around the yard, and throwing toys for them.
