Overall my schedule is pretty flexible throughout the week (mon-sun). I work full time as a pet sitter and I run my own licensed and insured pet sitting business. I am open to discussing a schedule that works for both of us so feel free to reach out!

Information Rachel Z. would like to know about your pet

I like to meet with the family beforehand to discuss what they're looking for, so our expectations align. Please mention if your pets have any health or behavioral issues. Most questions are usually answered during an introduction but if something is missed I will make sure to address it.

A typical day

Most families have me walk, feed, and or let the dogs out during the day to go to the bathroom. Open to discussing if you have other preferences.

Pet care experience

Hello guys, my name is Rachel and I would love the opportunity to pet sit for your dogs and or cats! I am a native of San Diego and live in Pacific Beach. For my whole life, I have grown up with animals of all sorts dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, etc., so I have experience with animals of all sizes and ages. Currently, I have a 1 year old Belgian mallinois/kangal shepard and a cat. If you have any questions feel free to reach out and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Hopefully, we can meet up and discuss this further!

I am very appreciative of Rachel's communication, flexibility, and overall great effort to care for my cats. She paid great attention to my neediest, clingiest boy cat, followed all instructions without missing a beat, and I am very happy with her service. She's a professional through and through! Bumble would like her back this summer when I abandon him and Honey again for a jaunt abroad. Thank you Rachel.
