Highlights
Pet care experience
Dependable, Empathetic Pet Care
I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life and currently care for my own pets, including a senior cat with special dietary and medical needs. Through that experience, I’ve become comfortable monitoring behavior changes, administering routine care, and following detailed instructions. As a psychology graduate from UW–Madison, I am patient, observant, and dependable. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust while keeping routines consistent. Whether your pet needs playtime, companionship, medication management, or simply a calm and reliable presence, I will care for them as if they were my own. I am especially comfortable with cats, senior pets, shy animals, and pets that benefit from extra patience and attention.

Rachel was amazing and Ollie just loved her! She sent pics and updates throughout the stay which I appreciated. Will definitely have her sit again. Highly recommend!
Rachel always does an excellent job caring for my dog while I have been away. She follows all of my instructions regarding feedings and potty times. She gives my dog exercise by taking him for walks. She has an excellent demeanor with my dog. I can depend on Rachel to provide wonderful loving care for my dog.

Schedule
I ’m currently building my pet-sitting business and have a flexible schedule for drop-in visits, dog walks, and cat care throughout the week, as well as house-sitting. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make every effort to follow their normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and playtime. I’ll always communicate clearly and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can relax and maintain as much of their normal routine as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise needs, and any special care requests. I am attentive to behavior changes and will keep you updated with regular photos and messages throughout their stay. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.
