Ratings and reviews
Rachael and her family took such great care of our puppy! They went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. Would definitely recommend her to others!
Rachael took care of our dog overnight at our house. She was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Rachel sent photo updates walking our dog and playing with her. We would definitely recommend her for dog care!!
We had a great experience with Rachael! She was able to accommodate our last-minute request, was incredibly flexible with timing, and made the entire process stress-free. Most importantly, we felt completely confident that our puppy, Zeke, and cat, Ophie, were in excellent hands. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for while we were away. We would happily book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Rachael is great with all animals! my dogs are very comfortable and I'm relaxed knowing they are safe and well cared for! I'm a repeat visitor!
Amazing dog sitter. Dogs were lovely and kept my Sophie happy all day long. Very flexible and communicative. Will definitely be bring my Sophie back :)
My dog Indy loved his weekend at Rachael's. Rachael provided updates and accommodated all of his needs. We would definitely recommend Rachael for boarding!

Schedule
I am a work-from-home mom, so I am literally always home. Work is flexible and non-demanding, so I will be able to take your fur baby outside throughout the day for walks and potty breaks as needed. I do also have four children who love animals too, so please be aware they are in the home while I am watching your pup. They are happy to join me for a walk and give lots of petting. I am typically up early in the mornings to catch the school bus, things relax during the day, then get a little busier at 4pm when kids and Dad get home. Dogs get long walks at this time and then head home for dinner, settling, and bedtime.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have two cats (they steer clear of dogs for the most part, but do enjoy snuggles if inclined), a Golden Retriever who is still a puppy, and a newly adopted Great Dane. We love to play! We play hard and sleep hard. My Golden, named Kevin, absolutely loves dogs and will run with them for hours. He’s very active, but understands that not all dogs are as rambunctious and energetic as he, so can give them their space as needed. Abe is your typical Great Dane, barks at anything in the yard, loves walks and running, and tries to lay on top of me and snuggle and much as possible. While we don’t have a wholly fenced in yard, we have a large front and backyard which I let pets run freely in. We have a *small* fenced-in kennel which we can use if requested, but I don’t usually leave dogs outside for long periods of time. We also utilize an invisible fence for my own dogs, but will only use this on boarders if specifically requested. I am always outside to accompany dogs, but if you have a runner, let me know and I can put them on the lead or keep them leashed while outside. We live on a quiet cul-de-sac, our neighbors are great, but we do live up against the woods and close-ish to Mt. Monadnock, so I will be cautious of off-leash activities if your pup is not accustomed to that. Indoors, we have only one room we gate off where I keep my work equipment and the kids keep their toys. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in beds if they want! We have lots of toys for chewing and playing, and we aren’t afraid of the occasional accident (with regard to ‘dog ate my homework’ to potty on the floor)! We also love hugs and kisses and don’t shy away from any-sized dog curling up in our laps.
Pets
A typical day
Our typical day starts with outside morning walk around the cul-de-sac, the breakfast and my children are off to school on the bus. We’ll have some play time indoors and some relax time before we head back outside for more run-around and playtime. Chill time through early afternoon then a long walk, and lots of playtime/activities afterschool. Dinner and lay-down time until about 9pm when we do another one last night walk around the cul-de-sac and back inside for bedtime.
