Safety, trust & environment

I can't care for animals in my own home, but I have a dependable vehicle to get to and from your house or take your pet somewhere if needed. If staying overnight, I keep to myself and will be excited for a chance to just hang out with some animals and read a book! I have also been a caretaker for adults with developmental disabilities or elderly adults who need assistance for the past 13 years and have many people who can vouch for my trustworthiness in a household.

Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet

The number one question for everyone's safety is whether or not they are friendly with other dogs. If they aren't, we will walk less populated areas or I will just be extra aware of surroundings as we go, as I've had to do with several dogs I've cared for. (Lots of squirrels and rabbits around that can make a dog bolt, so I'm always vigilant with surroundings.)

A typical day

I love finding new parks as there are so so many around Colorado. However, any walk is a good walk. If they have a favorite toy or playtime activity I am happy to oblige!

Pet care experience

I've grown up around all varieties of animals for my whole life, since we got our first family dog at 3 years old. I've volunteered at rescue ranches and farms, cared for domestic rats and rodents, reptiles, fish, and even some exotic insects, and have been the go-to walker and watcher for friends' and families' animals for as long as I've been able to work. I am well versed in medication administration and animals with more special needs as well.

Rachel was wonderful and we are so lucky we found her. We were gone for a week and came back to two very happy cats. She took great care of them, sent great cards and pictures, and they seemed to love her. Would highly recommend!

First time having Rachel pet sit and she was amazing. First Rover sitter I’ve had actually take notes during the meet and greet. Made our wedding week stress free, cleaned the litter more than I do, even took out the trash before we got home. Thank you again Rachel! Talk next time :)

Over the last year Rachel has been the best dog walker we’ve worked with on Rover! Great communication, very patient with my dogs needs and my dog always got so excited to see her! Highly recommend!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
