Pet care experience
What you get when you book with us: Multiple updates a day with pictures or videos sent to your phone or email. We have a huge fenced in yard and will get the pups outside as much as possible. A tired pup is a happy pup. Our dogs love to play outside. And they also love to lay around and chew on bones and take naps. However, If you know your dog is intimidated easily and will act aggressive or defensive towards high energy dogs, we are not the appropriate dog sitters for you. At the end of the day, all the pups get lots of snuggles before bed time. As a dog owner myself, I know how stressful and it can be to leave your pet behind and it is my job to alleviate some of that stress. Of course, please feel free to request more or less services (bath, walk, etc) to suit your dogs needs. We understand not all dogs are like ours. About us: From long weekends, to long-term fostering, I have had my share of other people's dogs in my life. I have also been through three 8-week obedience courses, Stella has her CGC and has taken agility, so I can manage typical dog behaviors and multiple active dogs. My husband is frequently around to spend time with them during the day while I am at work, and will help take care of the dogs who stay with us- and has never met a dog he didn't like. He raised aussies and took them through agility competitions, and went through the 8-week course as well. We live in a large single family home with a HUGE dog friendly living room and backyard, with lots of space for the dogs to play, and space to take a snooze when they are tired. Our dogs are very friendly and non-dominant to other dogs. They share toys, and love to play with friends. We both have full time jobs, but our schedules differ so one of us is usually home for part of the day. However, please note that your dog will not receive 24/7 supervision. If your dog has high anxiety or is typically destructive while left alone please do not request to board in my home. We give the dogs plenty of exercise and attention, but we cannot be there 100% of the time so your dog must be crate trained or comfortable free roaming in a large room. I have a Nest Camera to watch them while I am away and you are liable for any structural damages to our home caused by your dog.
Reviews
Rachael is our go-to dog sitter! She has watched our pup many times now and we know he is in good and loving hands when we leave, which is such a reassurance when traveling! :)
Scout is always happy to stay with Rachael and her pups! He gets lots of exercise and is even a little sad to leave his playmates when we pick him up. I would definitely recommend Rachael to anyone who has a friendly pup who loves to play.
Rachael is wonderful!! We have used Rachael multiple times now to watch our pup when we travel. She is great about sending photos and updates to let me know how he is doing, which helps me be able to relax and enjoy our trip! They have an amazing yard and her pups and very sweet and playful with ours. Absolutely recommend ?
Rachael was an amazing fit for me and my pup, Tyson! It was our first time with her and my boyfriend and I loved her. We were really nervous at first cause it wasn’t our usual sitter but after I met with her, we felt so much better about it. We got daily updates with pictures and tyson loved playing with her pups! We will definitely be booking with her again!
