Caring and Responsible Pet Sitter

What sets me apart from other sitters is my years of hands-on experience caring for pets in a home setting. I've been pet-sitting since high school, providing not just daily walks and care, but also overnight stays and home care, ensuring both pets and their homes are well looked after. I’m experienced in caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need extra playtime to senior dogs who require gentle care and patience. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I make sure to follow their schedule closely—whether it’s feeding, administering medications, or just giving them extra love and attention while their owners are away. Beyond pet care, I also respect and maintain the home by keeping it clean and secure, so clients can travel with peace of mind. I provide regular updates with photos and messages, so pet parents always feel connected. My goal is to ensure that your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for in your absence, and that you return to a happy, stress-free home!

Safety, trust & environment

I follow your pet's usual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and bedtime to minimize stress while you're away. I make sure your dog gets the right amount of exercise, whether that's a daily long walk or a short potty break. I spend quality time with your pet, giving them affection, playtime, and attention to prevent loneliness. For home care, I keep the house tidy, bring in mail, water plants, and ensure everything stays secure while you're away. I send daily updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and cared for.

My doggy is a big fraidy cat. But Rachel takes good care of him and he's as relaxed as he can be. Rachel is also a dependable and conscientious -- always willing to go above and beyond. This lasr time, as an example, she dragged 80 lb. boxes off the front stoop and into the house! She's great. I highly recommend her.

Rachel is absolutely amazing. Has stayed with my dog Albie a few times and I’m beginning to think Albz prefers Rachel over me. Haha. She does a great job, provides updates & I completely trust her

We are so thankful to Rachel for taking great care of our senior pup at our home while we were on vacation, especially during a big winter storm. She was communicative and proactive with any questions that came up, will definitely reach out to her again.

We invited Rachel back to care for our beloved pooch while we were out of the country. Some extenuating circumstances turned this mundane home-sitting engagement turned into something a little more complicated. She did an amazing job accommodating this additional challenge. We will gladly use Rachel again in the future.

Rachel did an amazing job with our 2 pups and cat watching them for almost 2 wks. She was attentive to 2 high energy dogs with regular walks and feedings. All animals seemed in great spirits when we got home and she sent lots of pics while we were gone. Left the house in perfect shape as well. Would absolutely use Rachel again and recommend her services.

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, medical needs, behavior around other animals, favorite activities, fears or triggers, and any specific training or commands.
