A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks, and do enrichment activities with them. My dog and I started playing hide and seek around my house! On rainy days, we play fetch indoors as well. I also love swimming in the pool with dogs!

My dog will send yours home tired

Pet care experience

I have had pets my entire life. My current dog is a rescue who i trained/raised from 3 months of age. When I first got him, I was also dog sitting for my close friends 6 month old puppy for 2 whole weeks. I spent 5 weeks taking care of my puppy, my sisters two hyper labs, and a german shepherd with an extreme fetch addiction. Needless to say, I have experience handling puppy chaos and high energy dogs. Pets are always safe and entertained in my care. When it comes to boarding in my home, your pet will receive all the love and care as my own dog. Your pet can join us on our daily walks of roughly 1-1.5 miles!

Rachael is the best! This was my third time booking her to care for my two cats, and I couldn’t be happier. My cats are usually very shy, but they absolutely love her. She always goes above and beyond, spending quality time playing with them and keeping them engaged during each visit. It’s such a relief to be able to travel knowing my kitties are not only well cared for, but genuinely happy. I highly recommend Rachael to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitter! 🐾💕

Rachael was amazing! My cats warmed up to her on the first visit and they’re normally very shy. She played with them and used their favorite toys. She took great photos and it looks like my kitties had a great time with her in my absence. It put me at total ease about them while I was away. I highly recommend her and will be using her services again!
