Information Rachael D. would like to know about your pet

I generally like to know their temperament and what you/they are looking for out of their time with me. Do they have any special needs, dietary restrictions?

A typical day

I tailor each pets visit to what the owner and pet need. If your dog needs a casual stroll around your neighborhood or a more vigorous uphill climb, we do it. I like to let them set the pace and the mood-- are we exploring for scents? Are we on a mission? We find out together.

I’ve had pets since 2001 and love every kind of fur baby! Sadly, I can’t have dogs where I live, so I love to get my puppy fix by helping your pets when you can’t!

Rachael is a great sitter! She took Zena on fun adventures and remembered from last time places she liked and didn’t— so thorough and thoughtful! Zena needs medication and Rachael made sure she got them. 5 stars! Thanks so, so much Rachael!

Rachael is so good with Zena, and easy to communicate with. She’s responsive, timely and friendly. Already have another booking set up with her. Would definitely recommend. Thanks, Rachael 🐾💕

We were fortunate enough to have Rachael stay with Lucie and Ricky for the day. They have separation anxiety and when we returned, they didn’t even miss us because Rachael provided them with lots of attention and love while we were gone. We will definitely use Rachael again!
