Highlights
Pet care experience
A cool dog mom
*I will be taking maternity leave starting November and will be unable to take on certain services. Thank you for understanding! **In-home services (boarding and daycare) book quickly. For new clients: for any potential bookings, please reach out at least three weeks prior your prospective dates with availability for M&G. All new guests must complete a Meet & Greet before boarding and daycare services** What does a stay with me & my family look like? For starters, we enjoy being around dogs and take great pride in showing love & affection to our own fur child as any parent would- making sure they are safe, healthy, and comfortable. So we know how your world circles around them too. So who am I? I'm a local dog mom that has moved back from living in NoVa. I'm pretty familiar with taking care of dogs considering I currently dote and center my life around a sweet 4yr old black lab mix named Sage and grew up with a couple Maltese fur babies. Within the past few years, I’ve helped family & friends with boarding, drop-ins, dog-walking, and house-sitting. I officially joined Rover in 2022 and have made some connections with some wonderful clients- some routinely, some occasionally, and some just once. Additionally, I’m a registered foster parent through the local shelter. One of the most rewarding experiences as a sitter or fur-friend is building a relationship with the fur babies and seeing them excited to come over.

Pets
Safety, trust & environment
At home, I will be able to supervise pets full-time and have the added bonus of a fenced backyard which we regularly tend to. We have a crate on hand, extra bowls, pet bed/bedding, pet steps, and toys for the occasional overnight stay. I wash and sanitize these items on a regular basis so they are ready for friends. At your home, I honor your privacy and provide detailed reports of how time was spent with your fur-friend(s) during drop-ins and walks.
Ratings and reviews
Rachael is very sweet with our dogs. More importantly, she is very reliable.
Rachael is great with our dogs and is very reliable!
Wow. Rachael is amazing! She came through last minute for us and was more than we could have asked for. She truly loved on our scruffy man and he lived like a king for a week. We got lots of photos, videos and updates. I am so grateful for Rachael and Ian!
Rachael F. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Rachael was absolutely amazing! She stayed longer than expected, brought treats for the dogs, kept us updated the entire time, and made sure they felt completely loved while we were away. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring and attentive hands. We’re so grateful for her and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again!
Rachael was great! We needed a last minute care on our vacation and Rachael really pulled through. Our dog is nervous around new people and did not even bark when she went for her doggy daycare with Rachael! She was wonderful. Gave us plenty of updates and made our dog feel right at home. She was super communicative and open and set up an intro meeting just to make sure everything went well. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Snowflake had a great time and made new friends both with Rachael and her dog.

Schedule
I am lucky to be working a full-time job at home with a flexible schedule that allows me to enjoy caring for pets. When staying at home with me and my family, your furry friend: - will have someone present as a caregiver, furry friend, and cuddle buddy - will have access to the backyard to potty or enjoy some outdoor sunshine - will have someone present for a lunchtime nice stroll in the neighborhood or ride for a pup-cup When visiting for a drop-in or walk at your home, you & your furry friend: - will have someone that respects your home, your sanctuary - will have a friend that will love to hang out with them, introduce them to some audiobooks, or explore some music - will have a caretaker that provides relief and detailed updates along with photos
