If you’re pet is more reactive, i have no problem caring for them, but would appreciate knowing ahead of time. as well, if there are any special services required (medication, training) i am more than happy to help take care of it!

A typical day

Pet care experience

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.

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.
