About: I have spent my entire life around animals, especially larger, older dogs. I am home full time while classes are online and am very flexible with sitting times. I am currently taking classes online for the summer, so I have plenty of time to take care of your furry friends! I tend to be busier on the weekends but if you give enough time in advance I am pretty flexible. I live in an apartment complex, and don't have a yard, so animals will have to be leashed when outside. I do not have a lot of space, so smaller animals are preferred, especially for longer stays.

“Rachel is so wonderful! I am always nervous trying a new boarder for the first time, but she showed me there was no reason to worry! She sent lots of pictures and it was clear how much she cared for our pup! Will definitely reach back out in the future. Thank you Rachel!!”


“Sarah was such a sweethearts to our puppy!! Gave him ton of cuddles and even sent us home with a lil snack baggie. She was able to make our short notice appt work and was very flexible for drop off and pick up. Thank you Sarah!!”
