Hi:) I have been around animals all my life. As a child growing up we had small dogs, big dogs, cats, kittens, puppies, birds, rabbits and fish. I don't think life is quite complete without an animal family member! Loving animals runs in the family and my sister owns several pet stores that I have worked at for her. How she doesn't keep all the animals, I don't know! I have come home several times with a little furry friend after visiting her! I am currently the owner of a big fluffy gentle giant, Hermes, and we have added a cheeky little kitten to our home, Atreyu. I know how stressful it can be for animals to be away from their owners or home alone and that they need regular stimulation, love and exercise. I am very interactive with my animals and spoil them. I have also always given all my dogs basic training to keep them focused and controllable. I know how important it is to me to have my animals taken care of, including being played with, cuddled and stimulated. So I know how important that is to you too. I also know how much better it can make you feel to see your animal peacefully napping or happily playing so I will keep you up to date and send you pics while you are away from your loved one.

Rachel looked after our kitten for an entire month and she was incredible! She sent so many photos every day and was always updating us on how he’s going. It was so good knowing that while we were overseas, we had Rachel taking care of our easily stressed out cat! She was lovely and I could tell Ekko really loved her 🩷 Rachel is our go-to!

Thank you Rachel for looking after our cats again! We always feel very comfortable leaving our two cats with Rachel as she takes care to spend time, play and cuddle each of them.

Rachel was amazing! Got so many pics and knew she would take good care of our baby Ekko! He loves her and can’t wait to have her watch him again.
