Any medication that needs to be given .what might frighten them what makes them happy toys they like things they love to do and anything else you think I need to know 🤩

A typical day

We go for long walks in the woods and fields and golf course playing games with balls and running around every dog is different so I would find out their routine and when and what they like to do that makes them happy . Nap time is important so they can rest and re charge ready for another walk . As I have a garden they love to potter around in it with me .

Pet care experience

🤗All I can say is I love dogs I love having them in my home looking after them going for lovely walks watching my favourite Tv programme Vera with them snuggled up to me 🤗. I am fully insured ,it is my sole job I have experience with puppies old dogs and very special ones that are nervous and need lots and lots of love . They all sleep with me in my bed unless you want otherwise . You will get daily photos videos and updates they will all be treated as if they are family when they are with me and my 18 year old son . my aim is to make them as happy as I can they have full run of my house and garden . I am 4 mins from Queen’s Park golf course and strouden park all the dogs that come to me can’t wait to get in the door and that makes me proud that I’m doing it right making them happy and feeling loved and relaxed and safe my home becomes their home and when they are in my care they become my munchkins to look after and make happy 💖

From first point of contact, all through Macy’s stay with Rachael, we couldn’t have been happier. It is obvious upon meeting Rachael that she really cares for those she takes care of. Macy loved staying in a home from home, which put our minds at rest. Rachael was great with regular/daily communications and photo updates which we really appreciated. Macy cannot wait to go and stay with her new friends again. 🩷🩷

This is Shelby's 3rd day visit with Rachael. It was an extremely hot day but the paddling pool was up and air con unit in place to keep the doggies as cool as they could be. Shelby pulled me up the driveway even after a two month gap in-between visits! Says something hey. Thanks Rachael xx
