Your pet’s favorite accountant! 😉

Pet care experience

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by. I’m a semi-WFH property accountant with 10+ years of experience caring for (and loving, of course) every type of pup on the planet. I’m an expert at delivering: world class belly rubs, under-the-neck and behind the ear scritches, lengthy cuddle sessions (upon request 😉) and the absolute best company your pet could ever ask for. I have experience caring for pups ranging from 3 weeks to 20 years old (she didn’t look a day over 5), pups who are partially paralyzed and in a wheelchair, tripods (my own baby is a tripod!), deaf/blind, and everything in between. I can express bladders, give bathes, tube feed, give injections/pills, and even provide you with the cutest pictures a sitter has ever sent you- guaranteed! I have a very open schedule for most of June 2023, so I hope to hear from you soon and I look forward to meeting you and your fur kiddos! PS: please forgive me if I haven’t updated the above dates - I’m not the best with updating this app, but I’ll still 100% get your message and get back to you asap! :)

Rachel has been a wonderful dog sitter to my two dogs (one is 11 weeks and the other 7 years). Highly recommend her services! I know I'll be booking her again soon.

Rachel was flexible, communicative and took great care of my two dogs. I’d highly recommend her services to anyone. I hope she’ll be able to sit for us again sometime soon. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel was amazing! She stayed with my cat for a couple of nights and was so communicative and friendly. My house was super clean when I got home and my cat was very happy :)

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a lover of both play and cuddles, so it’s safe to say your furry friend will receive lots of both :) Being that I work from home, I can provide the most personalized care to make sure they don’t miss you too much while you’re gone. I do the best I can to keep them on the schedule that they're used to being on, so the care I give is ultimately dependent on what they’re used to! As mentioned earlier, I completely understand how scary it can be to have a stranger staying in your home and/or having your pet stay with a stranger, so I’m more than happy to do daily check-ins with you throughout our stay! FYI- I have lots of experience caring for senior/special needs dogs. Some of the unique skills I have are: -Administering medication orally and/or injections -Expressing bladders -Caring for pups with paralysis/get around using wheels -Using diapers -Caring for amputees (my dog is one of them!)

Information Rachel S. would like to know about your pet

No strong breed preferences but I love and welcome any and all pit bulls! I’m pretty active and workout regularly, so I can handle walking even the strongest of dogs. I’m more than happy to house sit for dogs of any size, however, since I recently moved into a smaller apartment, I’d prefer smaller dogs (under 35lbs) for boarding.

A typical day

A few of my favorites include: a trip to the Lafayette dog park, Ocean Beach, adventures in Golden Gate Park, checking out all the new smells in the city (I’m a VERY patient walker…sometimes to a fault), sunbathing, cuddles on the couch, a (leashed) trip to Dolores park, etc. For the kiddos with lots of energy, I love taking them for hikes in the Interior Greenbelt or up to Grand View Park!

I have a flexible job that allows me to work remotely several days a week, so as long as you have functional Wi-Fi, housesitting is a feasible side-gig for me. Some of my “regulars” love cuddling up next to me as I sit on the couch and crunch numbers, so I imagine yours will as well!
