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. Additionally I do discounted remote work days which include 15 minute walk, play, food and 2 hours remote work to keep your pet company for $50.

Rachel did a fantastic job taking care of Lenny this week. It is nice to know we can go away and we don’t have to worry about him. She even took him swimming several days, which he loved!

This was the first time we used Rachel, and we were very pleased with the job she did! We were away for 4 nights and 5 days - which was a long time to leave our Penny - who has separation anxiety. We had a meet and greet first, and Rachel and Penny hit it off immediately. She was very thoughtful and caring with Penny. While we were away, she kept us informed regularly and sent lots of pictures. It was clear they were getting along great, and it really allowed us to enjoy our time away. She was also very responsible and attentive to all the specific instructions we left with her re Penny's routine and the house and she left the house in perfect condition. We will definitely call on her again for our next trip!

Rachel took such wonderful care of my little dog while I was away! Great pictures and updates daily. She was very thorough, followed Darby’s normal routine and went above and beyond in every way. I highly recommend her and will cross my fingers that she is available again when I need housesitting.

Rachel is extremely thorough, thoughtful and responsible. She’s very responsive and caring and took such good care of Willis while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again.
