Pet care experience

Home full-time & large yard!

Over a decade of animal care experience has made me patient and thoughtful about the needs of each individual dog in my care, including yours! I have a shy Golden Retriever who is 3 years old, so your pup must be dog-friendly to stay here. Your furbaby will benefit from my years of experience, fenced in yard, and at home schedule that gives me the ability to cater to the energy level and snuggle level that they are accustomed to! I only take a very limited number of dogs at a time, so you can be sure a stay here really feels like home away from home for your baby. I absolutely love the opportunity to meet new animal friends and look forward to getting to know you too. ☺️

Rachael made our first Rover/dog sitting experience a great one!! She communicated quickly when we were trying to book our stay and asked questions to make sure it would be a good fit, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pictures and updates on how things were going throughout the week. Drop off and pick up was a breeze…she made it super easy and quick and had everything ready to go. We will absolutely use her again in the future.

It was immediately clear that Bella was completely comfortable with her caretakers! Getting to interact with kids and having another sweet golden to interact with is icing on the cake.

Rachel and her family take such good care of Beau. We feel really comfortable when we travel and leave him in her care.

Rachael (and family) did a great job taking care of our dog while we traveled for the holidays. Communication was fantastic from the initial request to finalizing pick-up details and we received daily updates and pictures to let us know all was going well. We would definitely use Rachael again!

We love Rachael and so does Jessie! When we drop Jessie off for boarding she’s happy to stay and we don’t worry about her while we’re gone. No matter how much time there is between her stays, she hops out of the car and goes right up to the house because she knows it’s a fun place to be. She comes home happy and tired.

I always like to know your dog’s typical daily routine, if they've ever shown aggression with other dogs, if they have any health issues, where they prefer to sleep at night, and if they are comfortable around children.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
