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 💖

Rachael is always quick to respond to questions and confirm bookings. Our old Labrador came home happy following her visit and Rachael kept us updated during her stay.

Rachael looked after our 1 year old bulldog (Cash) for a couple of days this week and we were super pleased with how it all went. Rachael’s communication and flexibility is brilliant and Cash came home both days happy and worn out. We got loads of pictures throughout the day and it was lovely to see him out on walks as well as playing in the garden. Will definitely be using Rachael again!

Rachael was amazing. She updated me during the day with photos and videos. Hugo had the best time and actually did not want to leave. I had to carry him to the car! I would highly recommend!!
