Blue-heeler trained!

Pet care experience

I have an adopted doberman (5) and two adopted cats (13) from puppy / kitten hood who have taught me how to love even the unexpected. With all three pets either in middle age or elderly age, I am used to elder pet care from multiple midnight walks to medicine administration. I also have experience crate training and house breaking energetic puppies. I regularly groom my pets, so I'm familiar with the tricks of brushing, grinding down nails and washing up. I work from home full time unless I'm traveling for work, so I'm always available during the day. Our doggo goes for at least two walks a day and is let out in the yard to play at least 5 times a day, so we are well exercised.

Rachel and Company are wonderful pet sitters! Daily notes, pictures, updates, Etc. I never worried what was happening with my pooch. She even made a special trip to the vet for me to get an updated shot. Moreover, her flexibility and communication were terrific. Extremely appreciative of the long stay and will book again!!!
