About Vet

Hello! I’m Dr. Rachel Baker and I look forward to partnering with you to provide the best care for your furry or fur-less loved one!

My love for animals started very young with my second word being “kitty.” By the age of 4 years old, I had an uncanny ability to connect with animals spurring my dream of becoming a veterinarian. That special connection with animals and being able to “read” them has only grown with time and experience.

I am a 5th generation Oregonian who completed my undergraduate studies in biology and biochemistry at the University of Oregon before earning my DVM from Oregon State University. I have been serving the Portland, OR suburbs for the last 13 years. I truly enjoy establishing relationships with my patients and clients and advocating for their pet’s best care. My goal is to help educate you about the potential diagnoses and their treatments and work with you to develop the best plan for you and your pet!

I am one of the lucky ones who met the love of my life in high school and we tied the knot in 2010. We have one son and five cats (Mo, Ozzy, Olly, Tilly, and Poppy). Sadly, we recently had to say our final goodbye to our elderly black lab/pit bull mix named Violet. When not working, I love vacationing in warm places, gardening, napping, and spending time outdoors with my family.

That’s enough about me. I look forward to learning about your furry family and helping guide you in providing supreme care for your pet!

Best regards, Dr. Baker

Dr. Baker is brilliant, professional, and caring. We trust her advice and appreciate that she provides us with information on all our options for treatment. She takes the time to really know her patients and families and gives us a judgement free space to decide what is best for our situation. We've worked with many vets and we highly recommend Dr. Baker.

Dr. Baker was terrific. She asked all the right questions, came up with ideas for solutions and explained thoroughly the pros and cons of each treatment. I felt like she really cared about how my pet was doing. I would not hesitate to talk with Dr. Baker again and I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a vet to consult with.

Dr baker has always shown great compassion and care for my cats. From emergency situations to everyday concerns, she listens and provides excellent treatment options to me. She makes sure I understand options that I have and has taken the time to learn how I prefer to help them. She encourages questions and listens to all of my concerns. I trust her implicitly with my cats care.

I loved Dr Rachel, she was very interested in what was happening with my pup, you could tell she cares about animals. She left me comfortable with the instructions to help my dog through. I recommend her and the service quite highly!
