The crazy dog lady

Pet care experience

I’ve always wanted to work with and be around animals. My entire life I have had all types of animals, including: dogs, pigs, snakes, birds, hedgehogs, rabbits, and I even bottle fed and raised two 3-day old kittens until they were old enough for me to find them a forever home together. I’m known to most of my friends as the crazy dog lady because I’m always taking in and fostering dogs until I find them homes. I also cut all of my friends/family members dogs nails and trim their fur when they get too fluffy or matted between grooms.

Rachael is amazing!! I was so nervous about boarding my 11wk old Morkie for the first time. She sent me lots of pictures. She communicates quickly, was very professional, provided a pet friendly environment and was even able to accommodate me an extra day because my flight back home was delayed. Will definitely book with her again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a decent sized grassy yard with a 6ft fence all the way around, and a large tree that dogs just seem to love laying under when they’re not napping on the couches. The dogs are able to access the yard and potty or sunbathe from the time they wake up to bedtime with the doggy door. If needed I also have 3 available kennels if your dog needs to be crated for bed time or if I leave.

Information Rachael R. would like to know about your pet

Once you book with me let me know if your baby has any allergies or medications they need; I am very familiar with oral pills, as my dog has to take 3 every morning. If they are sleep/away kenneled please let me know and don’t forget to bring creature comforts like blankies and pillows so they are comfortable for their stay. Also let me know their feeding schedule and amount for each feeding. If you have anything else you want to tell me about them I would love to hear it ?

A typical day

During the day they play outside in the backyard, the dogs usually find a toy to chase each other around trying to get. After they tire themselves out, they sunbathe on the deck or play in the baby pool until they come in and want me to throw something down the slippery hallway so they can slide around again and again.
