Pet care experience

I watch 1 pet at a time! 🐾🤍

During their stay with me your pet can expect to be treated like royalty, with lots of cuddles and specialized attention. I only accept 1 booking at a time for boardings, so rest assured that your furry friend will never have to share the spotlight during their stay with me! They’ll receive the individualized care and cuddles they deserve! Growing up with 3 dogs, a cat, and rabbits, I’ve always been very comfortable around pets. While I am new to Rover, I am not new to pet care. After growing up taking care of my own animals, I continued to care for pets after leaving home by walking and boarding dogs all throughout college! I’ve also gained extensive experience with cats through fostering! I’ve met so many different types of cats that taught me so much during my 3 years fostering, and I’d love to apply it to your kitties!! Getting a new foster cat every month (or sometimes even per week when they’re adopted fast!), has made me no stranger to meeting new cats and getting them to trust me!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 4 years experience entering pet parent’s homes to take their pups for a walk. I’m always extremely cautious and respectful of both the home and the pet. I send lots of photos and updates to let the parents know their fur baby is having a blast! I love to walk and would be happy to have your fur baby as a companion. When we get home from our walks I’ll keep your pup entertained with lots of toys and belly scratches!

Rachel has been great with my new puppy. She helped keeping my little one entertained when I was at work. She followed my instructions very well and often went above and beyond. Very attentive to my puppy and you can tell she cares for the pets. Strongly recommended!

Boarding • Feb 16, 2026

Rachel was so great with my pup! She sent plenty of updates and was flexible when I had a last minute change to my travel dates. Will definitely be boarding my dog with her again!
