Pet care experience

Your pets are valued family members and making sure they have quality reliable care is important. I work remotely as a travel agent with flexible schedule and looking to turn my love for animals into side business. People have often called me a pet whisperer, where often difficult pets respond to me in positive ways. From Great Pyrenees to chihuahua‘s I’ve walked, brushed and cared for wide variety of pets. Cats can require special care as each has unique needs and it’s important to respect and love them on their terms. From specialized medication and meal plans to 30 minute walks three times a day you can decide how you want your pet cared for, played with loved while you are away.

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of Summer while we were abroad for our wedding and honeymoon. We were so grateful that she stayed at our house, which allowed Summer to remain in a familiar and comfortable environment while we were away. Summer immediately liked Rachel and was snuggling with her on the couch right away, which gave us confidence from day one that she was in great hands. Rachel also sent us lots of pictures and updates every day, which gave us so much peace of mind and really allowed us to fully enjoy our wedding and honeymoon without worrying. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would definitely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive pet sitter!

Rachel is a terrific dog sitter! She became instant best friends with our dog. When I got home after a long day, Oakley looked at me with eyes saying "I had the best day ever!". Rachel is very nice, has great communication, and obviously a lot of experience.

We felt safe leaving our puppy in Rachel's experienced hands after an initial meeting. And while we only booked her for 2 visits each day, she was willing to stay a little longer to make sure the puppy settled down in his crate without having an accident before leaving (a big concern of ours). There was some miscommunication about his food and walks/playtime on the first day, but that was improved on the second day. She provided plenty of recommendations on resources and tools to help with puppy behavior, so she is a great sitter for first time puppy owners.

Rachel did a fabulous job taking care of our dog while we were at my daughter's graduation. We didn't have to worry about a thing while we were gone. Thanks, Rachel!
