Pet care experience

Full Time Sitter, Fenced Backyard🐶

Hi there! I’m Rachel W., a full-time sitter for animals with a genuine love for them all. I have over 10 years of animal experience! My background includes volunteering at a wildlife rehabilitation center, where I helped care for everything from baby squirrels to injured birds. At home, I’m lucky to have two friendly cats and a sweet 17-year-old dog who still loves her daily strolls. She gets along with everyone and everything—dogs, cats, and even ferrets! When I’m not out exploring with pups, you can find me enjoying nature, tending to my plants, or spending time with my furry companions. Whether it’s a brisk walk, a fun play session, or just some good belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your furry family member gets all the attention and love they deserve!

Doggy Day Care • Sep 15, 2025

Rachel was great!! She sent us lots of updates while our pup was with her which we really loved. She took good care of Abby and Abby got so excited each day when she got to Rachel's house. Definitely recommend! Thank you Rachel!

House Sitting • Jul 26, 2025

Rachel was awesome! We contacted her with very short notice and she was so kind and accommodating to meet our schedule! She was also incredible with our big girl! She was extremely communicative and let us know when medicine was given and sent a lot of cute videos and pictures. Elwood felt comfortable with her instantly and it was such a piece of mind to have Rachel stay with us. It would be a pleasure to have Rachael dog sit for us again!

We left our two cats in Rachel's care for about half a month when we were in Europe. Rachel was wonderful!! Rachel bonded with the cats right away. She didn't just feed them, but she played with them and even brought new toys for them. She sent photos and updates that showed the cats were doing well and were happy with her. We recommend Rachel highly and we will definitely book with her when we need help again. Thank you, Rachel!

I appreciate the care Rachel gave to my two dogs for the week. Having her stay at our home was a great experience and I would recommend her to others. We plan on booking her again soon.

Rachel did in-home pet sitting for me for a week. My rambunctious 8 month old golden retriever puppy and cat had a great week with her! She sent daily updates with pictures. She left my house in perfect condition- you’d never even know she was there. Would absolutely use Rachel again in the future and highly recommend her.

I would like to know if a dog is aggressive or has any triggers before I meet them. I will do my best to accommodate. I would also like to know their potty breaks, vet information, if they have allergies, and just general information. I usually take notes at our meet and greet.
