About Rachel
Hello!
My name is Rachel. I am from Florida originally but have lived and traveled across 4 continents. I am an artist, work remotely as a social media manager, and maintain a travel blog. When traveling long-term I really miss having a furry companion so pet-sitting is very ideal for me.
I can't wait to meet you!

Why I want to house sit
I LOVE animals and because I'm a solo traveler, for me it's so nice to have a furry companion! It also feels good to know that both parties benefit from this arrangement. I know how much you'll miss your furry friends and I love to send updates and LOTS of photos/videos while you are away on vacation. My goal is to help you enjoy your holiday, even more, knowing that your pets are safe, happy, and cared for.
My experience
I grew up on my parent's ranch on the Kanapaha prairie in central Florida; we had many horses over the years, as well as, 2 dogs, cats, and a pet snake.
I started going on long-term trips in 2013 where I worked as an Au Pair for a family in Melbourne, Australia. I've pet-sat through an Australian site, worked on farms with a variety of animals from sheep to chickens, to chinchillas, to rabbits, etc. I lived in many share houses, "Couch-surfed," stayed as a guest in many shared airbnbs and entire apartments, and I have been a guest in a lot of different homes; so I understand what it means to be respectful of another's space. I have a lot of experience with animals, domestic work, and service industry positions.
Since moving around so much, I really like house-sitting to relax and take a little break and simply enjoy the comforts of home. I like gardening, cooking, sketching, reading, watching movies, and of course, just cuddling and playing with pets. I have often taken the pups I've pet-sat on many hiking/sightseeing adventures so that's always a possibility too!
I'm a non-smoker and have my own reliable vehicle.

Rachel is the ideal sitter. She's an excellent communicator both online as well as in-person. Rachel approached every step of her sit--before, during and after--with professionalism and authenticity. I felt completely confident in her abilities and she exceeded any expectations. Our dogs loved her and she genuinely bonded with them. We received regular texts and photos that made us smile. Knowing our dogs and our house were in such good hands enabled us to enjoy our trip away to the fullest extent. We're grateful for Rachel and will definitely invite her again.

Rachel did a great job taking care of my dog while I was away for a week. Both Rachel and my dog clearly enjoyed each other's company and they went on many adventures together! I got updates and photos throughout the stay, and was replied to promptly if I reached out. She also took great care of my place. It was nice to come back to a tidy home and a happy dog! We'd be happy to have Rachel back!

Rachel watched our dogs and house sat for 2 weeks - she kept us up to date with the daily goings-on, asked questions if she had them and sent lots of pictures. She was very quick to respond to our check in's and such a pleasure to get to know a little bit. We felt confident that our dog-children were in good hands. She left our house in the same condition that we left it and was very tidy. Would welcome back anytime!
