Pet care experience
I have walked, boarded, and house sat many breeds and ages of dogs and cats. I love how each animal is unique, with their own personality. Under my care, your pet will receive lots of attention. Please visit my reviews to see what clients have said about my services! Please note that dogs must be leash trained for dog walking services. ** Recipient of Thumbtack's 'Best of 2015' for Rachele's Pet Sitting** ** Recipient of Thumbtack's 'Best of 2016' for Rachele's Pet Sitting**
Reviews
Spud came home happy and healthy from Rachele’s house and she kept us updated with a photos and texts everyday.
We use Rachele's house-sitting/dog-sitting services because our dog, Murphy, can be difficult in other homes. Rachele gives him more walks than we do and he always seems to be happy and calm when we return. It's a great feeling knowing someone is watching over our house while we are away as well. We would highly recommend Rachele for any service, as she seems to be awesome with dogs!
Simply put, Rachele is better with our dogs than we are! The first time she came to stay with us, she had the responsibility of not only our 5-yr old Wheaten, but our new 10-week old puppy, as well. We were so pleased with how well things went with "the baby", we had Rachele stay for a full week, 2 months later. She is honest, very reliable, patient, firm (which we needed for "the baby"), regimented/scheduled, clean and communicative. We were a little anxious about having to leave the little guy so soon after he came to live with us. Our son was especially sad about it. However, Rachele took it upon herself to give frequent updates throughout the day. And, possibly for my son's benefit, even sent a few cute pics over the time we were away. Thanks to her firm and regimented (but, still very loving) ways, our pup was practically potty frowned by he time we got back from the 2nd trip. Clearly, we could not be happier having found Rachele. We highly encourage anyone to trust her in your home and with your pets.
Absolutely Excellent! Rachele is great. We have two bigger dogs and always struggle with finding a good match for someone to watch them. Our German Sheppard is anxious and can present to be intimidating. The 90-pounder is not for the faint-of-heart. Our Boxer is trying hard to grow out of being a puppy and her energy and enthusiasm can be a bit much at times. Rachele was GREAT with both of them. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She loves dogs and is able to read them very well and what they need. She was excellent about communicating and keeping us updated during her stay at our home. I will always try to use her for any future dog sitting needs.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety is number one priority. I take extra care to make sure doors are shut, leashes are attached correctly, and that my clients do not interact with strange animals.
Information Rachele H. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know any behavioral issues or anxieties so that I can be aware of them and keep your dog's well being in mind. I will also ask if your dog is on any medications or if your dog has a specific condition or illness that I will need to pay close attention to.
A typical day
I treat each of the animals that I watch as if they were my own. I also love going on dog walks! Not only are they great exercise for the dog, but walks are a great way for the dog to use energy and relieve some stress while their owner is away. Finally, pet sitting is just so fun and enjoyable for me. Not only do I love animals, but I also love caring for animals and working hard to make sure that they are happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school and I have loved it ever since. My pet sitting business has grown more than I ever expected and I am always looking for new, awesome pets to care for!
