Highlights
Pet care experience
Work-From-Home Dog Mom
I’m an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover who has cared for both dogs and cats for many friends, family members and neighbors over the years. I’m also a dog mom to two large breeds, a Golden Retriever and a Husky, so I’m very comfortable with big dogs, strong personalities and higher-energy breeds. I work from home, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention and potty breaks throughout the day instead of being left alone for long stretches. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and comfort level, and I’m happy to follow the schedule and care instructions that help them feel most at home. I’m also comfortable caring for senior pets and animals who need medication or extra patience. One of my dogs has epilepsy, so I have experience giving daily medication, monitoring health needs and staying calm when a pet needs additional care. My three-bedroom home also gives me the flexibility to provide a separate, quiet space when needed, along with a white-noise machine to help pets settle in. Whether your pet wants walks, playtime, cuddles or space to decompress, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I give my own.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Rachel is the most loving and caring pet parent I know! She goes to the ends of the earth for her pets and I have no doubt she would go just as far for others pets too. Her ability to juggle all the needs of being a pet parent and still have a smile on her face would put me at ease if I ever asked her to watch my pets. She has been caring for her 2 cats and 2 dogs for years by herself and I have never seen someone love her pets more than Rachel loves hers.
I highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter. She is dependable, caring and truly loves animals. She has a natural way with dogs and treats everyone of them as her own. She’s patient, attentive, and makes sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy who will give your dog plenty of love and attention while you’re away from home I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Any dog would be lucky to be in her care. She has watched our dogs and they’ve always been well loved and happy to be with her.
Rachel is one of the most caring and compassionate animal lovers I know. She takes incredible care of her own pets and always puts their needs before her own. To her, they truly are family, and she treats every animal she meets with kindness, patience, and genuine love. I’d trust her with my own pets without hesitation and anyone looking for a reliable, responsible, and loving pet sitter or dog walker would be in the best hands with Rachel. Any pet would be lucky to have her caring for them, and I can’t recommend her highly enough.
Rachel is great with my pitty mix girl and she gets along great with her dogs as well. Rachel is a true animal lover; sweet person in general. I trust her with my dog anytime and know she has a great time with her.
Rachel is genuinely one of the most caring people I know, and when it comes to animals, that care is next level. She’s amazing with dogs and cats of all different temperaments, and it’s clear she puts your pet’s comfort and happiness above everything else. I’ve watched her go above and beyond for her own animals time and time again, and I have zero doubt yours would be just as loved and well cared for in her hands. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your fur baby like family, it’s Rachel.
I was honestly a little nervous leaving my crazy cat, Petunia, with a pet sitter for the first time. Petunia is full of energy and not always the easiest cat to care for. But from the moment I dropped her off, I felt completely at ease. One big plus was that Rachel’s own cats were so sweet and welcoming to Petunia. When I came to pick her up, she was in the best mood. Petunia was relaxed, happy, and clearly cared for well. You can tell Rachel truly loves animals and knows how to make even the wildest cats feel right at home. I couldn’t recommend her more highly. Petunia and I will definitely be back!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine. I’m available throughout the day for regular potty breaks, meals, walks, playtime, medication and plenty of attention. My own dogs are already part of my daily schedule, so caring for an additional pet doesn’t feel like an interruption—it simply means one more animal to include in our routine. Because I’m home most of the day, pets won’t be left alone for long stretches. I can also adjust my schedule based on their normal routine, energy level and individual needs.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, I take introductions slowly and supervise interactions with my own dogs to make sure everyone feels comfortable. I have a three-bedroom home, so visiting pets can have their own quiet space if they need time to decompress, eat separately or simply relax away from the other animals. I also have a white-noise machine to help nervous pets settle in. I carefully follow each pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, medication schedule and any household rules provided by their owner. I keep doors secure, monitor pets during outdoor time and never force interaction between animals. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat their space with respect and make sure their pet receives consistent, attentive care in the environment where they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pet is safe, comfortable and well cared for.
