Safety, trust & environment

In caring for pets in your home we will ensure their daily routine is kept, we understand change can be hard on your pets. We try to provide love and attention that they need, or give them space if required. We love to go outdoors but are also happy to relax around the house. We are very experienced pet sitters so can keep your home safe, collect mail and maintain plants/gardens as required.

Information Rachel Y. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or if theres anything else we should be aware of ahead of time. We can adapt our routines to fit most animals.

A typical day

A typical day would be taking a dog out on a walk, letting them sniff and get enrichment. Toys or a ball would be taken, along with treats. At home, cuddling on the couch. Doing enrichment activities such as lick mats or training would be perfect.

Rachel and Josh are regular dog sitters for us and always take very good care of our nervous older terrier. We have just returned from holiday to a very comfortable and happy dog and a very tidy house. Thanks again both! Very much appreciated and highly recommended.

Rachel was so calm and made my dogs feel right at home immediately. Prompt, professional, and left me feeling completely at ease with my two pups!!

Rachel and Josh have looked after Cleo several times now, and we have already booked her next sitting with them. We always come home to a happy dog and clean home so would not hesitate to recommend. We are very grateful to have found trustworthy sitters who have clearly built a bond with Cleo, as she's not always the easiest dog being a big and slightly nervous girl!

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.
