I’m happy to recommend Rachel for any pet or house-sitting role. They’ve been a trusted family friend for over 15yrs, and I can say with confidence that Rachel is responsible, reliable, and great with animals. Rachel has looked after our home and pet, Xena (our 6yr old Rottweiler) multiple times, and she always makes sure everything runs smoothly. Xena has multiple allergies and Rachel follows instructions well in regards to this, keeps things tidy, and most importantly, genuinely cares for Xena. Xena absolutely loves Rachel If you’re looking for someone dependable and caring to look after your home and pets, I highly recommend Rachel. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to chat.
