Pet care experience

Professional In-Home Boarding!

Rachael started her journey with dogs in 2006 with her Border Collie Emme, since then she has spent her entire life learning about dog behavior and care. In the past 19 years she has traveled across the East Coast learning from as many dog experts as she could while training and competing with her own dogs. More than anything Rachael enjoys sharing her time with canine companions and she typically spends her days out exploring new hiking trails or throwing a ball for her furry guests. Rachael attended UMass Amherst and graduated in 2020 with a degree in Pre-Veterinary Sciences. While there she studied all kinds of animals and researched best practices for caring for domestic pets. While attending college Rachael worked at her local humane society in the kennel to help abandoned pets find their forever homes. After graduating she went on to work as a home based dog trainer under expert tutelage. Rachael lives on a 16 acre horse farm with her own two pups, Huzzah and Aven. The farm boasts many fenced in paddocks that boarding dogs are able to explore and enjoy. Visiting pets often go for walks in neighboring towns to ensure their enrichment and exercise goals are exceeded. If you think your pet would enjoy a rural vacation please reach out for availability! Free pick up and drop off is offered to pet parents within a 30 minute radius of Terrywile Park!

We noticed that my dog Cookie is very happy after staying with Rachael for a week. Cookie is more active and healthy now.

This was Rocky's first time staying with Rachael, and it went very well! He was happy and well cared for during his stay. Rachael sent us photos every day of Rocky hanging out with his buddies. Definitely recommend! ❤️

This was the first time we had left Coaster outside of the home while we traveled. Rachael was so wonderful in helping us to navigate through the process and while feeling at easy. We received daily updates and photos. Coaster was happy and well loved!

Schedule

My full time job is taking care of your pet! While here each dog will go on walks, explore fenced in paddocks, and enjoy playing with other pups if they are dog friendly.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my number one priority! I have a fenced in potty area for quick bathroom breaks and the farm offers many fenced in areas where dogs are able to run freely. Overnight, when I'm not home, or when traveling in a car dogs are crated in secure dog crates.

Pets

A typical day

Every day is always filled with tons of fun and exercise! I have a lot of space where dogs are able to run and play securely. I'll often walk around downtown areas to give my guests access to new sights and smells. If your pet enjoys playing with other dogs I love giving boarding dogs the opportunity to socialize appropriately.

I am happy to accommodate dogs with special needs, but at this time I am not able to accept dogs with severe human or animal aggression or intense separation anxiety. I welcome dogs of all breeds, shapes, and sizes!
