Availability

I work at home and have a flexible schedule for drop ins and temporary boarding or day care. I am perfect for the pet owner that either needs to leave on short notice or able to plan ahead. I have my own male, neutered mini Australian shepherd who loves friends and long walks. Only accepting dogs who are great with other dogs and kids for boarding/daycare. No restrictions for drop ins (may be any temperament, pet, size, breed - my first dog was a rescued pitbull).

Information Rachael D. would like to know about your pet

I’ll need to know if any special needs or medications and temperament during walks (leash aggression, etc). I will have a form that we fill out that specifies contains and needs.

A typical day

A typical day consists of lots of pets and loves during and in between my meetings. Potty breaks anytime needed and at least one long walk per day (30-60min). Your doggie will have a friend to play with (my 30lb mini Australian shepherd) who loves friends.!

Rachael was great. First time using Rover as neighbors had moved away. Was great getting updates on every visit. Was nice to relax knowing our loved pets were safe and taken care of.Will definitely use her again. She is awesome.

Rachael was very adaptable to our needs and timing for a sitter for DJ over a 3-day visit to Seattle. He had lots of fun with Rachael’s other charges

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
