Left my dog with Rachel for 4 days and it went great! She sent me so many cute pics so that I would know my dog was doing well and was well cared for.

Rachel provided attentive care to our puppy, Beauty for a duration of four days. We commend her effective communication skills and consistent updates through photos, which greatly reassured us. Rachel proactively sought detailed instructions in advance, demonstrating her commitment to understanding our puppy needs. I enthusiastically recommend her services to fellow dog owners.

Rachel is the BEST!! Our pup has stayed with her twice and probably will again. He seems to love his time there. Lots of pics and updates, very flexible and responsive. You should have your pet stay with Rachel!

Safety, trust & environment

My boyfriend lives with me (also a huge dog lover) so I want to make sure pet owners are comfortable with that. That is the reason I have my rate set at where I do; there will be 2 people caring for your pet instead of just 1. I live on the 3rd floor of my condo building. The property does not have a fenced in area so they will always be leashed. There is still plenty of room for walking in the area. No dogs larger than the "medium" size is my preference, as my condo is small with not much room for bigger dogs to move around in. I can take up to 2 dogs at once as long as they are with the same owner. I do not board multiple dogs from different owners at the same time. This is to ensure the highest level of comfort for you pet when I care for them. Let me know where they are not allowed to go (certain rooms, up on furniture, etc.). Also let me know what they are not allowed to do; such as beg for food during dinner time, treats after a certain time, etc. I don't leave out food within reaching distance depending on the size of the dog. I keep a short typed-up profile for all my clients that include care instruction, feeding schedule, preferred discipline, etc.

Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to be aware of any medical situations or medicine they require. I would also like to know any special care instructions that might be outside of the norm, such of as being crated for discipline or how they tell me they need to go to the bathroom. What I can do if they seem uneasy with me being someone they are not quite familiar with. Anything I can do to make them feel at home and they can trust me.

A typical day

I love playing and exercising with dogs. If they have favorite toys I would love to know. I also love walking so if they have a dog park they go to, please share that. If whether permits, I can walk everyday.
