Highlights
Pet care experience
biggest animal lover/advocate
I have taken care of my own pets (2 cats and 1 dog) for over ten years, and can bathe, feed, walk, play with, and help train pets. I have spent lots of time helping family friends with dogs that struggle eating, have sensitive skin, are hyperactive, and seniors. I also have experience working in an animal hospital for 2 years, with all kinds of dog and cat breeds. Working at the animal hospital taught me patience with animals and skills to take care of them properly (as well as information about different animals, breeds, and their health). Additionally, i have a summer job at a pet groomers, which has taught me a lot about pet care, discipline, and how to manage aggression. I treat all animals with love and respect, and work on building a trusting relationship between myself and the animal.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In your home, I will spend the duration of my time playing with and taking care of your pets needs, however that may be required. As I live with 4 other roommates, any of them are willing to help if more than one person is needed for any specific pet care needs.
Ratings and reviews
We had a positive experience with Rachel. While we were away for a night, she visited our home to feed our two cats who need individualized portions and are quite scared of strangers. Rachel followed our instructions and left our place clean. Thank you, Rachel :)
Grateful to Rachel for looking after my girl! Esper is normally shy of new people but she took to Rachel immediately! I couldn’t believe it! She’s a dog whisperer :) highly recommend and would happily use Rachel again.
Rachel was so great! She understood my concerns about leaving Roo for the first time and provided me with reassurance that she was doing okay. With Roo being a puppy and having separation anxiety, I know it can be tough but I feel comfortable trusting Rachel with Roo again!
I had the pleasure of entrusting my feline companions to Rachel recently, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Rachel demonstrated an unparalleled level of professionalism, reliability, and genuine affection for my cats. Their punctuality and open communication provided me with peace of mind, and I could tell that my pets were not just cared for but also enjoyed their time under Rachel's attentive watch. The extra effort, including personalized touches and a clear passion for animals, sets Rachel apart as a standout cat sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a trustworthy and caring companion for their beloved feline friends.
Rachel treats my dogs as if they were her own. She is reliable, trustworthy and goes above and beyond. My dogs adore her and that means everything to me. It is apparent from the moment you see Rachel interact with your dog that it is not just a business to her, it is her love and passion. My senior dog will be staying with Rachel again for two weeks and there is no one I trust more to love our girl the way we do.
Rachel took great care of Luna. I will definitely use her for sitting again in the future!
