I'm studying to be a health coach and make a career change while animal sitting and will balance this across the week. Mondays to Fridays are preferable for me but I can potentially offer Sundays as well. I'm especially interested in longer, holiday sits too.

Let me know if your pet has any fears, special needs or behaviours that I can account for and I'll make sure they're comfortable and happy. Also what their favourite things are!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Rachel, and I’m a dog walker and dog/cat sitter in central Berkhamsted. I’m very responsible, thoughtful, playful and loving with all animals and I've been called Miss Doolittle (the Dr Doolittle reference not as it sounds!). I've owned a very playful labradoodle and active bengal cats for many years, dogwalked and cared for two very active terriers, a collie, two large labrador and golden retrievers, a chihuahua, a nervous rescue cross breed and dogwalked a wide variety of breeds for a dog rescue centre for several years. I'm experienced with young to elderly, anxious, deaf dogs and cats, and administering medication if needed. If you’re looking for an occasional or regular dog walker, animal sitter or holiday sitter I’m looking for clients around Berkhamsted and the nearby areas right now while studying to make a big career change from office work. I offer solo care or take out small groups for walks along the canal, to the nearby parks and Ashridge, also offer more active dogwalking, balltime and playtime. I know the area very well around here after living here for over 10 years and being very 'outdoorsy'! :) All breeds and ages welcome ❤❤❤ Your pets will be well looked after! I hope to meet you and your much loved pet(s) very soon! Best, Rachel

Rachel was friendly and communicative, our cat immediately liked her and everything was as expected when we returned home from our trip. Thank you, Rachel!

Rachel was great, very responsive and took the time to understand all the details about how to manage both our dogs. Unfortunately, our older lab Maia, had to be put down a couple of days before, so it was the first time Cal had been on his own without her or us. It wasn’t the easiest weekend, but Rachel handled it all very patiently. We would definitely recommend her and would book her again.

I highly recommend Rachel as a pet carer. She has a natural, gentle way with animals and treats every single one with love and kindness! I've seen firsthand how attentive and caring she is - whether it's cuddles, playtime, or just making sure your furry friends feel safe and happy. Your pets will be in great hands with Rachel!
