Pet care experience

Animal lover ❤️

Single dog mom to a female husky! She is very friendly and affectionate. Very calm inside our home, but LOVES to run outside and play! We love dogs and animals of all types. We love hosting dogs and filling our home with friends for my sweet Maya. I live near a large park in Chelsea. During the summer, I frequent hiking locations in the summer such as blue hills or Middlesex fells. Your dog will be well taken care of and loved while you are away! IMPORTANT: Please be advised that even though I dog watch, I do work a full time job during week days.

Rachel took good care of Momo while I was away. He came home happy and well cared for. She sent lot of pictures and videos so that I didnt have anxiety worrying about him. Thank you!!

Rachel is an absolute life saver. I totally messed up the booking. (I tried to add a day, but when I did, the “extra” day then became the first day, so the whole booking shifted forward by a week. Make sure to double check your bookings in the app if you try to edit!) Anyway, I realized it the DAY OF. Rachel still made it work somehow. I’m not advocating anyone else doing this or anything, 😆 but just saying how incredibly grateful I am. Plus, she is absolutely wonderful with my dog. It’s clear my dog LOVES her and her son. I would recommend her to anyone.

Highly recommend Rachel for dog sitting! She took wonderful care of Ace, sending plenty of updates from a very happy doggo. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel took wonderful care of Yogi while we were away for more than a week. He was clearly very happy and comfortable with her even though it was his first time staying with her. She kept us consistently updated with photos and videos. Yogi got along very well with her dog and her child. Rachel is very knowledgeable about dogs, and we felt completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I would definitely recommend her and would happily leave Yogi with her again.

Had a terrific experience with Rachel. She was communicative, responsive, and she took great care of my pup. She helped me out at the last minute, and I am so grateful for her!

Schedule

Although I work full time, I try to be as flexible as possible with my work schedule. My business hours are 7am - 9pm. I do not accept pick up or drop offs outside this time window to respect my personal time. I am an active person & enjoy hiking with my husky or taking long walks. A average of 4 walks a day.
