Seekin Furfriends for walks&cuddles

Pet care experience

In childhood we had several furry and feathered family members whether it was my immediate family or extended. My favorite being to be around were the furry kind. Within the past year and a half, I've discovered my highest excitement in life is caring for animals, both mine and others. My last fur baby moved on in 2020 but I get my fur cuddles in with my grandpup, Luna, as well as other family and friends fur babies. In 2022 I had the opportunity to be trained as a veterinary assistant at a local veterinary hospital. While I absolutely loved the opportunity to care for the babies of so many families, I've found that I'd prefer to provide a more indepth comforting, fun, and less hurried service to these beautiful little (and sometimes huge) beings. As an assistant my duties included preparing the patients and their parents for the doctor; hold the animals during procedures; for hospitalized pets I would prepare kennels and provide care such as walking, cleaning up kennels if they had an accident, feeding once they were cleared by the doctor; walk, feed, and medicate boarding pets; and overall just trying to be a comforting presence for the animals while assisting the doctors and technicians. I would absolutely love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family to determine if I am a good fit to be of service to you both. The deep true compassion and love I feel for my own animals extends to all people's furry family members.

We had such an experience with Rachel! She offered to do visits prior to the actual pet sitting dates, which was helpful for my little dog who is def so he recognized her when she arrived for pet sitting. From the beginning, she was communicative, thoughtful, and truly cared about ensuring my pets were taken care of. We received regular updates and photos. I could not have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book with Rachel again!

I've been using Rachel for a while now as a pet sitter. I actually hesitated to leave this review because, selfishly, I don't want her to become too popular and not available for me anytime I need her! But she has earned it. Rachel has done drop-ins for me, walked my dogs, taken them for rides in the car, and stayed at the house when I need to be out of town. I just went on a vacation for two weeks out of the country and knew that my animals were completely safe and happy with Rachel, and I didn't need to worry about them. She sent me a daily updates and pictures and videos because she knows how much it means to me. My friends were joking that we were on this epic adventure in another country and my favorite part of the day was when I would get pictures of my animals from Rachel. I highly recommend Rachel as long as you promise not to hog her so that she's not available for me when I need her! 🤣
