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 .

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 💖

Rachael is absolutely fantastic. Her passion for dogs and looking after them is clear, and my little guy had the best time with her and the other dogs that were sharing her lovely, spacious, and dog-friendly home - that much was clear from the photos and regular communication. Cash will absolutely be returning to stay again, and no doubt he'll love every minute!! ❤️

Rachael was absolutely amazing with Porter. She really put our mind at ease leaving him for the first time too. We had lots of photos & updates that the kids loved seeing while on holiday. Couldn't ask for a better dog sitter and Porter will definitely be holidaying with Rachael again.

Deejay loved his stay with Rachael. He was very spoiled and Rachael kept us regularly updated with photos. I’m not sure he wanted to come home.

Would definitely recommend Rachael. Our boy Jax came home very relaxed. We can tell Rachael really loves dogs. Will definitely be using her in the future.
