Pet care experience

Passionate about Pooches!

I am passionate about providing the best care for each dog. I understand the individual needs of each pet, from ensuring they’re comfortable and relaxed to attending to their specific routines or dietary needs. Consistently praised for my reliability, attention to detail, and the love and care I provide to pets in my care. My home is safe, clean, and fully pet-proofed. I offer a calm and cozy environment where dogs can feel at ease, with plenty of space for play, rest, and socialization. I’ve worked with a wide variety of dog breeds, each with its own personality and care needs. Whether it's an energetic puppy or a calm senior dog, I know how to provide an environment that makes them feel at ease. I understand how important it is for pet parents to feel comfortable, so I send regular updates, photos, and videos so owners can see how their dogs are doing while they’re away. Always accessible through this app or direct messaging, I ensure that owners are fully informed and can reach me easily whenever needed. I provide 3 daily walks and playtime to ensure dogs get their exercise and mental stimulation. I keep their routines as consistent as possible to reduce anxiety and help them feel settled. Whether it’s administering medication or dealing with separation anxiety, I am experienced and comfortable providing special care for dogs with unique needs. I am skilled at adhering to specific feeding schedules, as well as brushing or basic grooming to keep your dog comfortable. As a dog-sitter, I am fully vetted, insured, and background-checked to give pet owners peace of mind. I have a track record of happy clients, with many returning for repeat bookings due to the trust they have in my services. Many have left glowing reviews about my reliability, the happiness of their dogs, and my professionalism. As a highly rated dog boarder, I offer a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your dog while you’re away. With years of experience and a deep love for animals, I prioritize each dog’s well-being and comfort, while ensuring clear communication with their owners at all times.

Rachael took wonderful care of our dog Beau. From the moment we met her, it was obvious she genuinely loves animals and creates a calm caring environment. What we appreciated most was her communication. She sent regular updates and lots of photos which gave us peace of mind while away. It was clear that our dog was getting plenty of attention and exercise. We would absolutely feel confident having Rachael care for our dog again and would gladly recommend her to others.

We cannot say enough good things about Rachael! She is very clearly an animal lover and took excellent care of our husky Rufio while we were away. She provided us with lots of updates and photos and gave Rufio lots of love, attention and exercise. We would absolutely have Rachael take care of Rufio again in the future.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our precious boy than Rachael! She took amazing care of Bailey while we were away for three weeks, and we had complete peace of mind the entire time. She made sure he got plenty of walks and attention, and it was clear he was happy and well cared for. We especially appreciated the daily updates — it meant so much to see how he was doing and know he was in such good hands. Bailey came home happy, healthy, and clearly loved. We have nothing but great things to say about Rachael and would absolutely trust her again. Highly recommend! 🐾
