Pet care experience

Here for you and your pets!

I have been passionate about animals my entire life and have now been working full-time as a professional pet sitter for over three years. My experience started at the age of ten, when I began working at an equestrian facility, training and caring for horses. My love for being around animals led to numerous pet sitting opportunities to stay connected with them in my every-day life. I also volunteered as a dog walker at my local animal shelter, where I gained valuable skills by completing courses in dog training. With this diverse background, I am confident in my ability to provide the highest level of care for your pet.

Rachel is a wonderful dog sitter, walker, and companion. She is mature, responsible, and an excellent communicator. I love her photos and updates. I feel very comfortable leaving my best friend in her care.

Rachel did a wonderful job caring for my fur babies while I was gone. I always have peace of mind knowing my two cats are getting good care and attention from her while I travel. I also appreciate her sweet updates, they’re a highlight of my day when I can’t be with my kitties myself.

Dog Walking • Aug 21, 2026

Rachel walked my dog, Oso when I had to travel for work. He’s not used to being home alone since I work from home. So Rachel took him on walks daily for me while my husband was in the office all day. She was super flexible when we had to adjust timing!! Also she sent the best pictures and updates!

Our Old Dog Starboy is on Medication and quite fragile. He is a 60 lb bulldog. I was worried about leaving him for a week. After contacting Rachael V. She reassured me that she was very capable of dealing with his special needs. I am happy to say that Starboy had a great week Rachael sent lots of texts with pictures and I’m sure Star really enjoyed his stay.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a dog-friendly apartment complex with a park in the back and the beach just a short walk away! The neighborhood is very walkable and there are lots of great routes for walks if your dog is staying with me. My apartment has lots of space for your pet to run around and I have ensured that it is completely pet-safe.

A typical day

I will take your dog for walks around the neighborhood daily. We will spend lots of time at the park and play tons of games! Feel free to bring their favorite toys, along with any beds or blankets that will make them feel right at home.

Meet and Greets are required before caring for new pets! Please let me know if your pet has any special needs and I am happy to work with you to ensure those needs are met. Some additional questions I may have include: How does your dog react to other dogs/people on walks? Does your pet have any behaviors that I should be aware of? How is your dog when left alone? Are they crate trained?
