About Rachel

Dear Furbaby Owners,

My speciality and joy is providing love, attention and presence to your animals during your time away from home.

Providing the best care to your beloved animal to ensure they are even happier and healthier than before you left home, giving you ease and peace of mind to enjoy your time away knowing your animal is in safe and loving hands.

I'm a 38 year old Australian woman.

Due to my highly highly empathic and intuitive nature, I find animals (and children) and drawn to me and love me instantly.

I have been pet sitting since 2014 (with a full time comittment spanning October 2018 - October 2019)

I treat your cat / dog and home like they are my own - with love, integrity and respect, with a clean home for your return.

I can sense immediately if there is anything off with your pet and take immediate action to ensure they are nurtured if any issues arise.

I have a deep afinity for animals and it brings me great fulfilment to offer them my care whilst their owners (aka you) are away - knowing that your treasured pet and home are being cared for.

To offer you an indication of my capabiliies, I did a (solo) farm sit for 20 animals, yes you read correctly, 20 animals! Over a 2 week period. (goats, guinea fowl, chickens, dogs, horse and cows). It was super intense, but equally beauitful caring for that many animals!

Testimonies: (more available upon request)

Emily Sarah and her cat Saffy (Saffy is the first cat I ever cared for and inspired me stepping into the pet sitting world and it snow balled from here with word of mouth)

I'm delighted to write a few words about Rachel. I've known her for several years, and have trusted her to stay in my home and take care of my cat Saffy on many occasions. She is a considerate, kind and reliable person. She takes care of Saffy with genuine affection and treats her like her own much-loved pet. Saffy loves her too. I'm always so relieved when Rachel can stay when I'm away, as I know she'll treat Saffy wonderfully, but also that she treats my home with lots of care and respect. She always leaves my place very clean and tidy for me. She gets along with my neighbours, and is very considerate. She is practical and sensible with any home/cat issue that may arise. She really is a lovely woman. I have no hesitation in recommending her to anyone who needs a pet cared for and who wants to arrive home to well tended home.

Marcelle and her cat Phoebe

Rachel was recommended by my friend Emily Sarah (please contact me if you would like a verbal reference) From the moment I met Rachel to show her through my home and introduce her to my cat, I could feel that I could trust her to take good care of not only my home, but most importantly, my cat Phoebe. Phoebe came up to her straight away and as a typical cat, she can be wary of certain people however with Rachel, she was begging to be patted straight away. Whilst I was away, Rachel put my mind at rest by keeping me up to date with Phoebe's relaxed demeanour and she also sent me photos to reassure me that all was OK with Phoebe.

I had left Rachel a few instructions to follow which she followed with perfection and she also was able to work out everything in my home without having to contact me and disturb my holiday as she was very conscious that my time away on holidays should be spent relaxing and not worrying about a thing - and that is exactly what happened. When I returned to my home, it honestly looked exactly as it did when I went away - it was clean, everything in the exact order that I left it and Phoebe was evidently very relaxed and happy.

In future, I will check on when Rachel is free to come and stay before I locked in any future holidays as I know I will have nothing to worry about whilst she is there, taking care of my cat and my home.

Zoe and her cat Harvey

It’s my pleasure to highly recommend Rachel for house and pet sitting. The most important thing when it comes to my home and beloved cat is to find someone I can trust to look after them. Rachel goes above and beyond ‘house minding’ to provide genuine care and affection for my home and pet. Rachel treats my place and my cat as if they were her own. so much so, I’m sure are the house was cleaner when I got home than when I left. Rachel is sensitive to the needs of my cat and cares for him with genuine love and affection. When I go away Rachel is the only person I ask. I can’t recommend her highly enough for anyone wanting peace of mind while they’re away from home. Zoe

Michelle and her 4 cats - Lucky, Roka, Nook Nook and Shelley

You have been a life saver and I cant say thank you enough. Without you being there I am sure my cats would have stressed themselves out boarding at the vets and would have lost quite a bit of weight

Madie and her dog Betty Rozelle, Sydney

Rachel recently sat for us when we went away for a weekend and looked after our pup Betty. Betty can be quite a handful when she wants to be, but she immediately warmed up to Rachel as soon as they met, which made us very comfortable with choosing Rachel to housesit. Rachel was incredibly attentive to detail when we discussed things around the house and how to look after Betty, she is lovely to talk to and was great with Betty. We were sent videos of Betty while we were away which we loved, being able to see her happy while we were away. When we returned, we were greeted with a happy Betty and a lovely clean house, would definitely recommend Rachel for anyone looking for a great, trustworthy house-sitter. Will definitely be asking Rachel to come back next time we go away!

David and his 3 Dogs; Luka, Bimo and Eddie (Perenan, Bali)

To whom it may concern, Wow! Where do I start? Rachel would be one of the most caring and genuine souls I know. Not only does she have a kind heart and absolutely adores animals.

Absolutely wonderful! Rachel was nothing short of perfect in my recent experience with her house sitting the love bugs as she affectionally referred my furies as. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Rachel was brilliant, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her as a pet sitter. She really looked after our two cats, including cleaning and giving one of our cats her regular medication, which she did with compassion and care. Communication was excellent and we received daily photos and updates. Both cats were happy and relaxed when we returned from holiday - a much better experience than having to put them in a cattery! I would definitely have Rachel look after our pets again.

Very happy with Rachel's pet-sitting services. My boys adored her, and she communicated with me on a daily basis, putting my mind at ease while I was away. I will definitely re-book Rachel when I go away in future.
