I am a fifth year veterinary medicine (third year DVM) student 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 confident with pretty much anything you can throw at me. I have done two weeks of house sitting in the past for a lady who owns 3 large border collies (one of which is elderly and needed special care), 9 cats and 4 chickens. I also 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. If you’d like me to visit I can come once or twice a day for however long you’d like (a standard visit is 30 minutes).I am confident with giving medications and can do subcutaneous and intramuscular injections such as insulin. I'm happy to do a free visit before you go away so you can meet me and show me around.
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 I'm happy to discuss.

this is probably our billionth booking with Rachel, she's just beautiful to our girls and us. My husband thinks she should become a professional photographer and cat sitter instead of vet even because she's so good. We came home to lots of content purrs and barely noticed we were missing.
We book Rachel every time we go away and I can always relax knowing she's looking after our girls. She's a lovely person who keeps us up to date and very observant and responsive to their needs or any concerns. She's very capable with even our tricky cat who needs meds and monitoring. Other than the photos and healthy, happy cats, you wouldn't know Rachel had been, ohh and the awesome amusement parks she sets up for them with toys hehe.
