Availability

I’m a fully remote worker, so I spend my days at home with my dog, Tiger, who is 10.5 years old and has a calm, friendly personality. Caring for pets is a natural part of my routine. I take Tiger on regular walks, provide meals and medications on schedule, and make sure he gets plenty of attention. Because of this, I’m able to give other dogs consistent, loving care throughout the day, whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended stays.

Information Rachael E. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to know about their diet, medications, exercise needs, temperament, and any special routines. This helps me provide consistent, safe, and loving care tailored to each pet’s needs.

A typical day

A typical day with me starts with some supervised play in our fenced-in yard, followed by a walk around Waneka Lake in Lafayette or, if your dog enjoys off-leash time, a visit to Boulder Dry Creek Dog Park (Voice and Sight Program). I provide plenty of mental and physical stimulation with an overflowing basket of toys and interactive play. Throughout the day, I make sure pets have meals, any medications, and lots of attention, cuddles, and companionship, so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Loving & Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced caregiver, with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I grew up helping neighbors with their dogs—including administering medications—and today I regularly care for my friends’ and family’s pets in addition to my own. I share my home with Tiger, my sweet and social 10.5-year-old boxer/lab/whippet mix. He has a calm, friendly personality and loves making dog friends. We live in a townhome with a small yard, and I enjoy getting outside for walks, playtime, and rollerblading. I offer both boarding at my home and overnight house sitting. Whether your pet stays with me or I stay with them in your home, they’ll receive constant attention, love, and care. Your pup’s routine will be followed closely, including meals, medications, walks, and playtime. I occasionally step out briefly for errands or other scheduled visits, but I’m always back promptly, and your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. My goal is simple: peace of mind for pet parents and a fun, caring experience for pups.

Rachael is wonderful! Very loving with our dogs and great about sending feedback and pictures. We forgot to give her one of our dogs meds and she even went out of her way to get them. Will definitely use her again!
