Highlights
Pet care experience
I'd love to hang out with your dog!
I grew up with a Golden Retriever and my family now has a Bernese Mountain dog, who I primarily cared for during the pandemic. I've dog sat for neighbors before and in NYC, I have fostered 3 dogs of various sizes, all with super different personalities.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I live in an apartment with an elevator and live right near plenty of dog parks. If they like other dogs I'd be happy to let them play around!
Ratings and reviews
Rachel thankfully came through super last minute to watch Banks! Was super responsive and Banks had an amazing time.
Rachel was amazing! Very easy communication, constant updates and a very happy doggo. Will definitely be using her again!

Super grateful for Rachel's help. She was available to walk both our dogs two days in a row under heavy rain. She handled our dogs very well, and both our dogs liked her very much. We recommend Rachel and we are returning to her when we need help again.


Rachel has been one of my best and closest friends for at least 15 years now (since early elementary school). I can confidently say that I know her well, and that I know how much she loves dogs. She is a dog-person - no questions asked. Rachel always had a dog in her family growing up, of which they currently have the most adorable massive 11 year old Bernese Mountain dog (125 pounds of floof!). If anyone knows what it takes to care for a dog, it is Rachel. In addition to taking care of her own family's dog, she would routinely walk dogs of friends and family around our hometown, and would occasionally dog sit for friends and family that were out of town for extended periods as well. After graduating college, Rachel has since fostered 3 dogs on 3 separate occasions - giving each a loving home and environment out of the shelter before the dogs could get adopted into new loving families. In her free time on nice days, I know Rachel loves to spend time in/near the dog park to sit and watch (and pet) all the cute dogs in her neighborhood. I do not have a dog of my own, but if I did - Rachel would be the number one person on my list to entrust my dog with, should I ever need to. Rachel would be a fantastic caregiver for any dog!
Rachel is a lifelong dog-lover and one of the most responsible, reliable people I know. She has cared for a number of foster dogs, including rescues with health issues or behavioral challenges, and has readily invests the time and energy to help them adapt. She is incredibly organized - if she says she’ll be there, she’ll be there 5 minutes ahead of schedule, equipped with everything she could possibly need and with a detailed plan for the day. She’s creative and energetic - any pup would be lucky to be in her care!
I've watched Rachel grow up with dogs, as well as foster three dogs in the past year. She’s taken wonderful care of each of them, and will be a great dog sitter for you!
