Information Rachel W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any medications your pet is on and any conditions that your pet has. It’s also helpful to know what kind of food they eat and how often, and of course any fun facts or their favorite toys!

A typical day

I typically wake up and feed Violet breakfast and then have lots of play time. We then like to cuddle on the couch and watch tv before I get ready for the day. I take lots of breaks to play with her and her favorite thing to do is play fetch (she’s a strange kitten for sure)

Animal lover and cat mom

Pet care experience

I’ve had a dog my whole life and have helped my family take care of their pets since I was young. I recently lost my childhood dog and miss the companionship. I have a 1 year old cat, Violet, who I’ve been raising since she was just a few weeks old.

Rachel was absolutely amazing. I had a last minute family emergency and she was able to accommodate my last minute request. She sent a ton of pics of my sweet kitty and was extremely punctual and communicative. I was a total wreck having to leave so urgently and not being able to take Benny with me but Rachel stepped up and saved the day. She loved my Benny like he was her cat. I will absolutely be booking her again!
