Safety, trust & environment

I am very cautious when it comes to animal safety almost to a fault. I understand the worries of pet parents because I’m the same way with my own animals. I always make sure pets are securely leashed, doors are carefully managed, and that no one has the chance to slip out. Your fur babies’ safety and comfort will always be my top priority.

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, health conditions, or behaviors that I should be aware of so I can provide the best possible care. I’m experienced with senior pets and administering medication, so I’m comfortable handling those extra details. Sharing your pet’s routines, preferences, and quirks helps me make sure they feel right at home with me.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of playtime, walks, and affection tailored to your pet’s needs. I enjoy keeping dogs both mentally and physically engaged with games, exploring new smells around the neighborhood, and visiting a nearby park. For cats, I provide stimulating play, cozy companionship, and lots of love so they feel comfortable and cared for.

Pet care experience

I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds for over 23 years, treating every animal as if they were my own. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets throughout the years. I have one dog and three cats myself, so I understand how important it is to know your pets are in safe and caring hands. I also have experience with senior animals and administering medications, including caring for my cat with IBD for several years. Your pets’ comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority.

Rachel is absolutely amazing with animals! She has a natural gift that makes pets instantly feel comfortable and loved. She’s watched our dog multiple times over the years, and he lights up every time he sees her and her pup. We’re very selective about who cares for him, but with Rachel, we have complete peace of mind. She treats him like her own, goes above and beyond to make him feel at home, and always keeps us updated with photos and messages. Rachel is reliable, caring, and truly passionate about what she does — we couldn’t recommend her more.

Rachel is amazing with pets. She has watched my cat and dogs for 5 years. She is kind, great with animals and most of all, trustworthy. I know that she will be there when she says and I know that I never have to worry. My pets love her and I never have to worry about her in my house.

I can’t say enough good things about Rachel! She has been an incredible pet sitter for Chevy & Nova, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they're in her care. Rachel is not only responsible and reliable, but she genuinely loves animals—and it shows. She takes the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s sticking to feeding schedules, giving medication, or just spending quality time playing and cuddling, Rachel goes above and beyond every time. I always get updates, pictures, and notes, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away from my babies. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and truly passionate about animals, Rachel is the one. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my pets!

I cannot recommend Rachel enough. I am one of those crazy dog moms who doesn’t trust ANYBODY with my dog, but I fully trust him with Rachel. She is incredibly cautious, vigilant and educated. I know she will always follow my instructions and put the needs and wellbeing of my dog first.
