About Rachel

My name is Rachel, I'm 33 and live in my own home in Christchurch. I'm also pet mad! I have my own animals, Albie a 2 year old Cavoodle, and Bene a 2 year old cat. In my spare time I love getting out on adventures and walks with Albie, sometimes Bene even follows us!

I've had a lot of previous experience with animals, as I have fostered with the SPCA for a number of years.

My house is fully fenced, I have a cat door that can be locked if required. I also have a spare room and crate available if downtime is needed. I will always ensure there is effective control between your pet and my animals and provide a stimulating environment both at home, and out on walks/adventures. Please note I will only accept bookings with fully vaccinated dogs.

I work full time in Marketing, from home and the office, so if booking during the week it's essential your pet can be left for a couple of hours (would do a part day in the office) however if I can juggle my week to work from home during a booking that is always my preferred option. I am currently saving for some overseas trips, so spending a lot of spare time at home so I don't spend money. I thought what better way than to spend my time with some lovely animals!

Both of my animals are very well socialized, with Albie having been attending daycare and with a regular dog adventure every week of 5 - 8 dogs.

To confirm a booking for pet sitting I require a meet and greet first, where yourself and your animal come to my home and we can make sure everyone is comfortable with the booking. Pick up and drop offs need to with a 24 hour period, I.e. 10am to 10am, anything longer you will need to also book a daycare service. For a daycare service, drop off and pick up need to be between 7.30am and 5pm.

If you're interested reach out and we can chat from there 😊

Veo, 2024-04-11

Rachel helped to bridge the gap for Easter while Cody's other sitter was away during that weekend. They did all the communication and arrangements among themselves so I could have ease of mind while traveling in a different time zone. Even though I wasn't the one dropping off or picking up Cody I heard it was easy and smooth. And judging from the meet and greet (which I was there), I was not surprised. Rachel was very clear and respectful not just about my needs but also her own. She clearly wanted everyone in the household to get along and have a good experience. And that's very important to me. She gave me the confidence that Cody would feel safe, comfortable and cared for, which I believe he did. I won't hesitate to bring Cody back again.
