WFH Dog Mom Who Loves Animals!

Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve been caring for dogs and cats on and off for over decade and genuinely love caring for your fur babies while you’re away, need a walk, or simply when you need a drop in! I have a flexible hybrid schedule, which allows me plenty of time to give your baby plenty of love, attention, and playtime. Whether your furry family member enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and can administer oral medications when needed. Your pet’s health and safety is always my top priority, and I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages throughout their stay. While it’s been a little while since I was actively using Rover, I’m excited to be back and currently accepting bookings! I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet, so please don’t hesitate to reach out to schedule a meet and greet or ask any questions. I look forward to helping care for your furry family members!

Rachel was great! She was easy to communicate, super-friendly, and very attentive to the instructions we gave her. She sent photos of our puppy everyday and we loved choosing her as our petsitter! We will definitely re-book with her.

Rachel was so understanding about my anxious dog (and my anxiety over boarding an anxious dog) and very communicative throughout his stay. Trooper loved hanging out with with her and her dog for a weekend!

Schedule

I work from home Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to give your fur baby plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I maintain a consistent routine with feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of love and affection. There’s always time for sniff-filled walks, enrichment, cuddles, and making sure your pet feels safe and comfortable while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own family. I make a conscious effort to keep pets on their normal routines so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free during their stay. As someone who works from home a portion of the week, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, supervision, and lots of companionship throughout the day. I also prioritize a calm, loving, and safe environment where pets receive plenty of attention and individualized care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day includes walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, and lots of attention! I love taking dogs on long walks around my neighborhood or to nearby parks for fresh air and exercise. If your dog enjoys more active outings and does well in busy environments, I also love walking the Katy Trail with my own pup. I always tailor activities to your pet’s energy level, personality, and comfort to make sure they feel happy, engaged, and cared for throughout the day.

I’d like to know of course how long your dog will be staying and provide an accurate pickup time. Reactivity is a huge thing I’d like to know about. If your dog gets easily distracted or doesn’t do well on walks with a lot external stimulation, that’s important to disclose since I do live in a populated neighborhood walk on the Katy trail often. I’d love to know if you are bringing treats and how many to give and when along with any medication they’re on and how often to administer.
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.
