Pet care experience

Animal lover + native Austinite

I have had dogs of my own for over 5 years now, and they are both over 50 pounds, so I know how to handle bigger dogs. I have been helping my neighbors care for their dogs for 2.5 years now, including two smaller dogs. I love seeing their personalities and their goofiness!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I currently have a regular client who I offer house-sitting and dog- and cat-sitting services for. I stay at her home overnight (maximum snuggles!), regularly let the dogs out in her yard, feed and water them, provide treats, give any medications needed, and play with them.

Rachel is consistent and caring. Most importantly, my dog loves spending time with her and is always content on the days that Rachel comes to walk her! She is trustworthy and does a great job.

Rachel T. is the best pet sitter ever! I have two dogs and one cat and they all are happy to see Rachel. She meticulously takes care of all details - feeding, meds, walking, playtime, maintaining established routines, and cleaning up. Rachel is a warm and caring person, which is what I want in a pet sitter. She genuinely cares for people and their pets. She is also an excellent communicator and will not hesitate to send a text if she has a question. Whenever I am away, I enjoy peace of mind knowing that my furry crew is well cared for in my absence. Rachel T. has earned my highest recommendation!

I have known Rachel for 18 years. Not only is she, my friend and neighbor but she also loves animals! I see her walking her dogs every day and she is always kind to the neighborhood feral cats and all other wildlife in our neighborhood and greenbelt. I trust her completely to take care of my pets and my house when I’m away from my home. I feel comforted and confident that Rachel is close by and always willing and able to assist with my pets and my home. Rachel would be an asset to any organization!

I always like to know what personality your pet has ahead of time. Also, please let me know of any behavioral issues I need to be aware of with your pet. I have some experience taking care of my neighbor's special needs dog, but need specific details and would review each potential client on a case-by-case basis.
