Pet care experience

Loving care when you can’t be there

I am fully flexible to keep your pets in my home, or to make your pets as comfortable as possible and stay with them at your home. I am mature, responsible and trust-worthy with over 7 years of experience in pet-sitting/house-sitting and have had pets of my own at all times (large dogs and cats) since I was a young child. My pets are my children and I will love your pets and treat them as I do my own. I do not crate your pets unless they are used to being crated for sleep, or if it is their safe space. I understand the limitations of certain breeds, whether it be limited time outside, food allergies, asthma, etc. I am experienced with pill medication administration with dogs and cats. If your pet has had recent surgery and requires extra care, and/or is difficult to administer medication to, there will be an additional charge, discussed at the time of booking. I do have some health limitations, so high energy dogs that require a lot of walking are not the best match for me. I will do check-ins for cats, and for dogs that can be let out into a back yard. Please ask about check-in rates, as they can vary. Book well in advance for guaranteed availability. Bookings outside of Montgomery (including Prattville, Deatsville, Pike Road, Wetumpka, Millbrook) will add an additional $15 to the final rate. Fully insured by Pet Care Insurance (PCI).

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Pets are allowed to do (or not do) whatever they are allowed to at your home. They will be treated just as you treat them. If they sleep in the bed with you, they will sleep in the bed with me, etc. At my home, pets are allowed on furniture and beds unless not allowed by you, and will only be crated if you use a crate. My home is monitored by night vision cameras that I can access remotely to check in on your pet if I have to be away.

Very happy with Rachel’s care! She was super flexible with my timing since I was driving and didn’t know when exactly I was going to get back and was sure to send me pictures of kallie and let me know how she was during thunderstorms.

Rachel did a great job caring for our dog and looking after the house. It was such a gift to not have to worry about either while our family was busy traveling.

Thank you Rachel! Rachel was wonderful with my cat. She was very responsive, patient, and spent time playing with her, which I really appreciated. 💛

Rachel stayed at our house and watched our dogs while we went on a family vacation. This was a busy trip to Disney, and it helped SO much to have someone so reliable watching our fur babies. I never worried. She texted me updates which also gave me that extra peace of mind. We will definitely use her services again the future. Thank you, Rachel!! 🐶🐶🤩

Rachel was perfect for taking care of our pups and ensuring my momma heart wasn’t worrying about them. She sent daily pictures and provided updates throughout the entirety of the booking. The house was just as I left it when I came home. I would recommend Rachel to any of my friends or family.

Schedule

Pet sitting is my full-time job, so I will be with your pets for most of the day and each night. Pets will be alone no more than 4 hours at a time and that is only under special circumstances.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Rachel can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Do they get along with cats? If not, they can be separated from mine, I just need to know in advance. Are they high energy? Are they trained? Do they take commands? If so, please let me know your wording for each command as they tend to differ between owners. Do they have separation anxiety or bark at everything?
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
