Cat Sitting in Rockville

About: I have had dogs all my life, I am very well-versed in dog walking, feeding, and playing, and I have taken part in training all my family dogs. I have dog sat since I was a teen for a neighborhood Dalmatian growing up. I am loving and caring for dogs and cats. I have a 1-year-old wolfhound mutt who loves other dogs and people and loves play dates. I work in west Hartford so I can dog walk in that area T-F 3:45-4:45 Vernon areas T-F 4:45-7:45 pm Saturday and Sundays time are flexible I work full-time as a preschool teacher at the American School for the Deaf and am currently in my last year of grad school for my Special Education Master's. I live in Vernon with my fiancée and our son and dog. we are well versed in extra curricular for our son, taekwondo and swimming lessons but always have time to take our pup for a walk or to the dog park for some fetch. I am comfortable letting your dog in and out of the crate, taking them on walks, and taking them for a playdate with my dog if they are dog-friendly. there is a fenced in dog park in Vernon we can play at as well

“This was our first time using Rover services for our three cats. Honestly, we were nervous and apprehensive thinking about a stranger entering into our home and solely responsible for our babies while we were away. Rachel was very personable, responsive, sent pictures and updates after each visit. She truly put our minds at ease and even popped in an extra time that was not initially scheduled. We will be using her services from now on and highly recommend her!!!”

About: I am certified in pet first aid and CPR, and am very serious when it comes to pet care, safety, and health. I have experience in pet care through all stages (puppy - senior), and complex medical cases. Each dog and cat is an individual with their own needs, wants, and traits that need to be fulfilled and noticed. BOARDING & DAYCARE: I LOVE pet care, and providing a safe, fun, and enriching environment. I will also analyze your pets individual needs and allow them to approach me as they become comfortable. I understand how important it is to choose the right person to take care of your beloved dog or cat. My primary focus will be the safety of all pets in the house. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home. I will also make sure you feel happy and comfortable that your pet is in my home by going through all of the details before your pets stay, and updating you with pictures and videos! DROP IN VISITS: Playing, potty, feeding, cuddling, bathing... I will do whatever needs to be done to make sure your pet is both happy and safe! PLEASE NOTE: - I work full time. On Fridays, I get home around 1:30-2:00pm. - I will accept boarding OR daycare. I cannot accommodate both arrangements on the same days. - If you have one dog and more than one cat, I will accept them all. I will have a private, separate room for your cats. - I would like as much notice as possible to set up the pet care arrangement! CATS ONLY: You can drop off your pet on Thursday evening if needed I have a fenced in yard and a female dog, Sophie, who is very friendly and playful! I will always monitor them and never leave them alone without supervision. Our cat is blocked off by a 5-foot-tall gate (she stays in the bedrooms), and Sophie is in the rest of the house. My previous dog, Johnny, passed away in 2024 and throughout his life he experienced health issues that required daily oral medication (he had epilepsy and hypothyroidism, and during the last 6 months of his life he struggled with Cushing's Disease). I am experienced in how complicated medication and health issues are in pets, and I take it very seriously. I make sure our home is a calm environment filled with toys, playtime, cuddles, and mentally stimulating activities. My goal is to do what's best for the individual dog/cat and make them feel both safe and loved! If needed, there is a private pet room that will be changed to fit the dog or cat's needs. The set up will include toys, their own items the owner provides, and washable mats on the floor that will be washed/disinfected before use. If your pet needs their own private space, I will make this room a fun, and relaxing place to be! Please note: to ensure the safety of all pets in the household, I need to see the most recent Vet paperwork showing your pet is up to date on vaccines (unless health or age prevents them from receiving vaccines), and does not have a contractable health issue. Also, your pet must NOT be aggressive.
