About: I am extremely detail-oriented, I love animals, and I’ve cared for a wide variety of pets my entire life, from cats and dogs to reptiles, birds, fish, and small mammals. Currently, I share my home with 3 cats, a dog, a bunny, fish, and 4 chickens, so I’m experienced and comfortable with all kinds of animals! All of my pets are good with each other, kids, and other animals. My wife Emily will also be assisting me in caring for your pet. I work as a Registered Nurse at a pediatrician office, so I am available after 4 pm everyday and on weekends no matter the time. My wife works ten minutes away from our home and comes home on lunch to give a potty break. I understand how important your pets are to you, and I’ll treat them with the same love and care as I do my own (and trust me, they are SPOILED). In your home, I’ll ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. I will also follow your instructions closely to maintain your babies’ routines. Respecting your space and your pet’s needs is my top priority.
About: I've fostered a variety of dogs and puppies of different ages for many years. I have also dog sat for friends before and am reliable. I’ve had dogs all my life, so know how to take care of them in every stage of their life. I'm currently working part time, so I will be available to play with your pets and fulfill their needs. I always make sure my dogs are well taken care of and exercised. I always go outside with the animals so they won't run away and so I can keep an eye on them. I also walk dogs to get some exercise and play with them. I make sure to give them a lot of attention.

Having a few pit bulls, have basic obedience and leash walking training..we live super close to the water as well as dog parks and playgrounds and would love to help other pups have a good and safe life:) Or a cozy environment if your fur baby prefers a calm safe space. One of us works from home, mainly nights, so there is always someone around to take care of the precious pup..and our weekends consist of hikes, water adventures, less reactive trails, and movie parties! We have a closed in 3 floor apartment as well as multiple courtyards and doggy parks right around the corner from where we live. We live directly next to a school so a fenced in playground (without other dogs) is also available. We have a large and small sized crate with lots of enrichment treat, toys, galore !

He loves going in it and waits for me to shut the door every morning before I leave.

“Rachel is the best with dogs & also cats! She would rescue every dog possible if she could. She treated her rescued pittie named Leo just like a child. He always had a chair at the campfire, she always took him on walks, he slept next to her in bed and she was always spoiling him. He was always getting dressed up for every holiday and he seemed to enjoy it. She is always around her mom and sisters dogs as well. I would trust her with my animals with no worries. I highly recommend her!”
