Dog lover since birth!

Pet care experience

I had owned a dog since childhood and had always been keen on walking, feeding, playing with, training, bathing, belly rubbing - really, you name it - my companion. In my work, I am dedicated to not only the basic care of your pet, but getting to know them, as I believe each animal possesses a unique personality. In addition to pet care, I also have over 15 years of childcare experience. Most families, some of which I am currently employed under, have both children and pets whom I was/am simultaneously responsible for.

Rachel is a very caring sitter that made our dog feel very comfortable during his stay. Her place was immaculate and tidy with low level furniture which worked out great for our dog who is not allowed on high surfaces. Rachel is very responsive and communicative, and we could not be more pleased with our booking. We will definitely be asking her again in the future. Thank you for your help, Rachel!

Rachel took such good care of my cat. She’s a natural because normally Bootsy is so shy. I was nervous about leaving her alone for the first time. But Rachel made me feel comfortable and I was able to enjoy my time away without worry. Thanks again!

Rachel is wonderful. She understands how as dog "parents" we worry about our fur babies when they stay at someone else's home. She sent daily updates and pictures so we could see what he was up to and how he was doing. Our dog was well-taken care of and seemed happy! We are so happy to have found her!
