RELIABLE FLEXIBLE ABSOLUTE DOG LOVE

Pet care experience

My name is Rachael, I live with my husband Rich, 3 children, our nephew and our 2 pups, Daisy and Duke. I have lived with animals all my life in a small town farm like life, did animal wrangling for movies with my parents and always had lots of animal including dogs. Our family cannot get enough of dogs!!!!! Here is a little more about us: How would you describe your communication style? I believe every pet is apart of someone's family, they should be treated as such with love, care and understanding. They have no voice but we have to listen!!!! As far as communicating with owners, I send pictures at request. I text with any concerns or questions when needed. What is your typical routine for pet care? I have a big back yard that is set up for all dog sizes, they can run, play fetch, tugawar with my other pups and so many more activities. What hours during the day are you available? I am available any day of the week. I am a stay at home mom and love having the company, it always changes up the day to have a 4-legged friends visiting!!!! I can work with last minutes and plans delayed for extending the stay!!!! If relevant, describe your home and/or yard. Do you work from home? I have a large fully fenced (built to keep our 7lb Chihuahua in) open back yard with a park behind our house we can take walks in. t's the perfect size for dogs to run, jump, roll and just be a dog!! We clean poop up 2x a week more if needed. Are there any other people who may be present while you care for the dog? My husband, 3 children and nephew (10, 12, 14 and 15yrs), our two dogs Daisy a daschund/mix and Duke chihuahua and other dog clients I have. From time to time we have neighbors over but not often. Also, please only dogs who have been neutered, are up to date on shots and small-medium breeds (nothing over 25 pounds).

Rachael is great.... I will certainly use her services again. Our puppy was happy and healthy and enjoyed her stay. Thank you Rachael.

My pup came home happy and worn out from all of the fun. I had a mishap and had to delay pickup, and Rachel was very accommodating and friendly about it.

Rachael was great! She sent updates while my dog stayed with them. She was also flexible with my pick up time because of a flight situation. I would use her again to watch my dog.

Information Rachael & Richard M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog is shy, i love dogs and love when they warm up to me but I definatly understand how intimidating it can be to come somewhere new!!!! Please also let me know if they have any little quarks (for example my Chihuahua has a reverse sneeze that sounds like he is choking!!!). This just helps me understand him/her better and not to panic if it's a normal thing they do!!! Does your dog Free roam? Or use a crate? While I don't leave for long periods of time, this is always helpful in case I have an emergency. Please also clarify if he/she uses the crate only when you leave or also to sleep. Does your dog have any diet restriction? Any food allergies? Only able to eat the dog food/treats you bring? Does your dog have a favorite toy? Treat? Blanket? Pillow bed? Activity? I do recommend on bringing some comfort from home, this always makes the first night and going forward easier and not so strange for them. If there is a certain routine your dog loves to do or play, that can make the trust and bond easier to establish as well!!!!

A typical day

I have a quiet full 2 block circle with little traffic to walk around!!!! I also have a good size park to walk around that backs onto our fenced back yard!!! I love playing fetch in our big backyard and my dog Daisy (daschund/lab mix) loves to play tug-a-war with her dog friends while Duke (Chihuahua) likes to chase them.
