Pet care experience
Pet and Home Care from the Heart
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!

Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Rachel adores my dogs. My dogs adore her. We feel lucky to have found her. Thanks Rachel!
Rachel has been walking my anxious dog, Frannie, for a couple of months now and she is creative, reliable, punctual, and helpful. Most of all, Frannie looks forward to these outings and is always excited to see Rachel. Recently, Rachel cared for both Frannie and our house while we were on vacation. We got many fun pictures of Frannie's daily activities and we came home to a happy, fat and sassy dog, and a pristine house. Rachel is the best!
Rachel has been a huge help with my dog while I work long shifts. She communicates well, follows the care instructions, and send me cute pics. I’d definitely recommend her!
Rachel is great! She walks my dog a few times a week and my dog is always excited to see her and sad to see her leave 😊 Rachel sent many pictures throughout her stay and my dog seemed really happy the whole time. She took great care of my place and I would have her back anytime!
Rachel did a great job entertaining our high energy pup! She sent lots of pictures, and it was clear that our pets loved hanging out with her. She left our place in tip top shape. We’d absolutely welcome her back ❤️🐾
Rachel is amazing! She went above and beyond caring for my elderly cat, velcro puppy, and my space! She gave me updates everyday, and was incredibly responsive. My animals loved her, and I felt genuinely at peace knowing she was with them. As a bonus, It was incredible to come home to my space tidied up. Kudus to Rachel for operating at such high standards!

Schedule
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!
