Hi, I’m Rachel E, Owner of Paws Applause. Animals have always been a big part of my life.
In 2005 while working at the vet office as a kennel manager, There was this dog I fell in love with. He would always get sick while being boarded. Felt so bad that I wanted to help the owner out any way I can. After completing school and becoming a certified veterinary assistant I offered to watch her dog at her house. That was the beginning of a great friendship and a career I had previously only wished for.
In 2006 Paws Applause was Founded!
So blessed to have this business that allows me to work with animals and pet owners.
Along with pet sitting, I have
- volunteered at local animal shelters,
- ran a turtle rescue,
- volunteered with HOPE Wildlife, a wildlife rescue and rehab in Ocala. As well as still helping in any way I can locally with wildlife.
- I am an animal advocate. Certified vet assistant, Fear free professional, Pet first aid and CPR certified
- Member of Professional United Pet Sitter
- I network with other pet sitters so that I can always help owners one way or another.
Fast forward to today-Paws Applause has become more than just pet sitting. For as my passion for animals and learning grows, so does Paws Applause!
