Pet Sitting With Rae @ Santa Clarita
Rachel & Guest's Pets
Hi, I'm Rae, a passionate pet sitter who has loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up in a home filled with pets—ranging from classic cats and dogs to exotic reptiles and birds—I learned the importance of proper care and training. Whether it was ensuring our dogs were well-behaved or keeping our cats healthy and happy, animals have always been at the heart of my life. I can't imagine a world without them and am dedicated to helping fellow pet parents provide the best care for their beloved companions!
I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, from cats and dogs to exotic pets like reptiles and birds. Growing up in a home filled with such a variety of pets taught me how to care for them, ensure their health, and handle their unique needs. Now, I’m a proud pet parent to two amazing cats who have traveled the world with me—they’re a constant reminder of how much joy animals bring to my life. I can’t imagine a life without pets, and my passion drives me to help other pet parents provide the best for their furry (or scaly) companions.
