Availability
Rover is my full time job at the moment. I also volunteer a few days a week, a few hours at a time, with a local organization called Joys Kitchen. My schedule is open and generally flexible - leaving me plenty of time to be present with your pet and attend to their needs!

About Rachel Y.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is earned with your pet by almost always having someone around. It’s not constant attention, but a constant presence, love, treats, and acceptance. No punishment for “bad/anxiety” behavior or barking. A soothing confirmation that they are indeed good protectors. When it comes to caring for pets in your home - I take extreme care: following directions as instructed, entering and leaving respectfully, practicing a “leave no trace” energy except for happy pets. I believe in leaving spaces cleaner/better than I found them if possible. Happy to provide photos and kind respectful communication while you are away. The same offerings extend to plant care.
Information Rachel Y. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about your current training methods, their special quirks, the best way to entertain them, and special diets! I love active breeds but also great with couch potatoes who prefer belly rubs. I can work with all personalities.
A typical day
Exercise, tug of war, and music are my favorite ways to hang with your pet! Morning yoga and runs make for great afternoon nap buddies. Belly scratches and couch cuddles are common in this house. I sometimes lean into a “second walk” in the morning, depending of your dogs needs. It’s like second breakfast (which they might get that too!) For sweet kitty cats, feathers and strings are my go to. I know not all cats are interactive, but happy to administer as many butt pats and chin scratches as they would like.

Pet and Home Care from the Heart
Pet care experience
Veterinarian’s daughter and forever pet lover. I would love to lend a helping hand! Great for long term sittings & farm stays! I grew up with a zoo of cats and dogs, love having them around at all times. I am experienced with many types of animals including cats, dogs, bearded dragons, farm animals (horses goats chickens), and 4 years of Rover experience! Avid runner, I want to take your dog for a morning run if they’re up for it!!! Great with medications and special diets, specific feeding times or training tactics you are trying to implement. I firmly believe to adhering to your training and behavioral practices so that your pet can stay as consistent and comfortable as possible!

Reviews
We are super happy with Rachel. Professional from the moment she first walked through the door. Her demeanor is confidence-inspiring and our dogs seem very comfortable with her. She updated us daily throughout our trip. In addition to taking great care of our boys, she took care of my many plants and our house was clean and ready for us when we got home.
Rachel has been walking Frannie twice a week. Although Frannie is very shy, she now associates Rachel with good times! Frannie is excited to see Rachel and loves her walks! Rachel is always on time, very reliable, helpful and accommodating.
Rachel was WONDERFUL! This was the first time she watched our cats, and unfortunately we ran into a lot of snags with our travel plans, causing them to change multiple times; Rachel was very understanding, accommodating and professional. She sent us great updates, details on her day and their care, was a pleasure working with her and we hope to book with her again in the future.
This was our second time having Rachel take care of our dog and she did a wonderful job both times.
