About Rachel
I am a fifth year veterinary medicine student (third year DVM) and I love animals of all shapes and sizes!

~~~~~~

Experience:

I have worked with cats for over 6 years and have three of my own. I also used to own rats, guinea pigs, mice and fish. My speciality is cats but I am open to almost anything you can throw at me (although, I wouldn't recommend throwing your pets at me...) I do a lot of volunteer work in cat rescue - feeding and trapping stray cats, organising desexing and vet visits, fostering, socialising and rehoming. I am also qualified in pet first aid.


~~~~~~

What I Do:

I do house sitting as well as just visits at varying prices. I am confident giving medications and can do subcutaneous and intramuscular injections such as insulin in special cases. I'm happy to do a free visit before you go away so you can meet me and show me around.

I usually charge around $25-40 a day depending on the situation but I'm also happy to discuss this with you.

I pet sit on the upper North Shore (roughly Hornsby to Chatswood) and may do cheaper prices for very close homes (North Turramurra area) but can be flexible for a slightly higher rate.

If you have any questions or aren't sure, just send me a message and we can have a chat.

Rachel was so kind and caring, keeping in touch with me and sending photos of our babies. We felt at ease knowing she was looking after them all. I will definitely book Rachel again.
