Highlights
Pet care experience
Passionate about dogs and cats
I just love dogs and cats, in fact all animals and believe it is a privilege to be able to help others with their pet care. I have 2 dogs of my own, have owned dogs all my life and love being out walking with my 4 legged best friends. I was brought up by a farming family and have owned cats, dogs and horses. Even learnt to ride the cows to the milking shed by the time I was 4 😊and have fond memories of looking after the chickens. All pets in my care are treated as if they are my own and are allowed on furniture and beds (if that is what they are used to), I love puppies (don't we all) and have experience of dogs of all ages, happy to administer medication and maintain your routine whilst in my care so your pet has a home from home experience. Recent feedback: We were lucky enough to be able to book Rachael at the last minute to take care of our labrador Cherry over a weekend. From the beginning, Rachael was knowledgeable, kind, professional and understanding. She is clearly highly experienced and took care to understand as much as possible about Cherry. Cherry can be nervous, but Rachael gave her space to investigate her house and gradually built her confidence - so much so that within a couple of hours we received pictures showing a happy Cherry cuddled up asleep on the sofa. Rachael kept us updated with videos and pictures, taking Cherry on lovely walks, letting her sleep on her bed and generally giving Cherry her own mini-break while we were on ours! Cherry was clearly happy and settled. It was such a relief to know our dog was in such good hands, and I would recommend Rachael wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a dog sitter. She is a gem!

Ratings and reviews
Excellent care for our young puppy. She had an amazing day, thanks so much.
Excellent care for our little pup. Will definitely book again.
Rachael and I have known each other for over 30 years. We both have dogs and walk regularly with each other and take care of each others dogs over night/weekends. Rachael is very focused on dogs, mine are 16yr and 17yrs, and she will focus on their needs as if they are hers.
Racheal regularly looks after my two dogs. They love to see her and are clearly very happy in her care. Rachel loves dogs of all shapes and sizes! Racheal has had my dogs in her own home and whilst I have been on holiday. She will also walk them and visit them at my home if I’m working. They are always very excited to see her and will often howl with excitement

Schedule
I have been made redundant so lots of spare time to help others and care for dogs. Would love to build a business in something i love. I am comfortable with all animals, owned dogs and cats all my life.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My pups are very accommodating of visitors…. Happy to do let outs, walks or daytime care in my own home. I have a secure garden and many stunning walks locally ( Downley).
Pets
A typical day
Wood walks, adventures through the fields. Licky mats and training games. Sofa cuddles!! I enjoy giving dogs in my care a calm, fun and relaxed environment to both play and settle.
