Caring for Animals is All I Do!

I specialize in cat care and do best with clients who can be flexible with their visit times! My service area includes: Franklin Park, Wexford, McCandless, West View, and Sewickley Hills. I am unable to take bookings outside this radius. If you are interested in using me for holiday services, book as soon as possible! I tend to fill up fast. I am a graduate of CMU living in Franklin Park, Pittsburgh. I previously worked in adoption and animal care at animal shelters, where I gained 5+ years of experience. I can administer all types of medication, including injections and fluids. I was surrounded by and worked with animals of all shapes and sizes, so I am very comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and temperaments of most domestic animals. **Note that I recently reactivated my profile after a few years of inactivity which is why reviews are from 2022. I’ve also changed my name since then, as I’ve gotten married.

Rae Lynn did a great job taking care of our cats. We were a bit changeable about the booking: we removed a date, added a cat, added the removed date back. Rae was wonderfully flexible and accommodated all our short-notice changes. She sent photos and updates, and our cats were well cared for in our absence.

Rae did an excellent job caring for our diabetic cat. She provided lots of pictures and detailed updates every visit. She also did a great job with the daily insulin injections. We will definitely reach out to Rae again the next time we need a petsitter. Thank you, Rae!!

Alicia took care of our cats over the weekend. She did a good job feeding them and giving medication. We had to message her on the first day because it was later than the agreed time and we had no updates from her. She quickly replied that she had an emergency and went to check on the cats right after our message and even gave us a refund for the visit. We appreciate her sincerity and good communication. She was very punctual and diligent with all the other visits, so overall we had a good experience. We would recommend her and rebook with her in the future.

Rae Lynn can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Meet and greets are free and highly recommended. - For new clients, I require at LEAST 7 days notice prior to the start of the stay so meet and greets and care instructions can be communicated and coordinated effectively. This does not apply for repeat clients. - I highly prefer a key that can be left in a lockbox or other secure location vs physical hand offs. - My rates are non-negotiable. - I can administer all types of medications. - Appointments are FIRM. - Leave care instructions I can access while you are away.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
