About: Hello! My name is Rachel, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. At home, I’m lucky enough to share my life with five wonderful dogs—three playful pugs and two larger rescues—so I understand firsthand just how much love, attention, and care our pets need to feel safe and happy. Because of my own pack, I’ve become well-versed in handling everything from energetic play sessions to slow, relaxing walks, and I know how to adapt to each dog’s unique needs. I also have experience with multi-dog households, administering medications, and making sure feeding schedules and routines are followed carefully. I treat every dog I meet as if they were my own. When your pup is in my care, you can trust that they’ll receive not only reliable attention, but also genuine affection and companionship. I believe communication is key, so I make sure to provide updates, photos, and peace of mind while you’re away. Your pets are part of your family, and when they’re with me, they become part of mine too. 🐾 Caring for pets is already a big part of my daily life! With five dogs of my own—three pugs and two larger rescues.I’m used to balancing walks, feeding times, play, and downtime on a structured schedule. Having a full pack at home has taught me the importance of routine, patience, and flexibility. Because pet care is naturally built into my day, I can easily adjust my routine to meet the needs of your pets too. Whether that means early morning walks, mid-day drop-ins, or evening cuddles, I’m comfortable creating a consistent, reliable schedule so your furry family member feels safe and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. When caring for pet, I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels comfortable and secure.

I’m available anytime on Sundays and Mondays, and on Tuesdays and Thursdays I’m available in the afternoons after 5 PM. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they get the attention, care, and companionship they need. I have experience caring for many dogs and cats and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I always take the time to learn what works best for each pet, whether that means following a specific feeding schedule, giving medication, providing extra attention, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and safe. My goal is always to provide reliable, loving care and make sure every pet gets the same quality of care I would want for my own.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in Pauma Valley. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poop breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Pauma Valley after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every walker on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
walkers on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
