Vacation for you, vacation for them
Pet care experience
I currently work as a vet tech and have worked with many dogs with various behavioral issues. I have experience working with dogs that have on leash issues and teaching basic commands! I love dogs of every shape and size and every breed and have lots of experience with all the problem children (looking at you herding breeds, shepherds, bully breeds, northern breeds etc. haha) I currently have a 7 year old Australian Cattle Dog, a 5 year old Australian Kelpie and a 4 year old Border Collie mix who are great with other dogs. We play every day to get out energy, and love going on walks and hikes. If your dogs aren't good off leash or you prefer them to be leashed at all times, I have long 50 foot leashes to allow them the space to play and the security to stay safe. I'm home most of the day and can provide loving and attentive care for your dogs. Send your dogs on a farm vacation and come home from your trip to tired, happy puppers. We will love them like they are our own!
Reviews
Rachel was fantastic with our golden retriever. She sent tons of pictures and we felt completely comfortable knowing he was being taken care of and was happy.
Rachel was the best dog sitter I could ask for. She sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away. She has a great property with plenty of space to play. I would highly recommend.
Rachel is awesome, takes great care of our pup and has a great family of pets and property that allows our pup play and enjoy her stay
Rachel was super attentive to my dog's needs and kept me in the loop my entire vacation. This was my first time leaving him and it was reassuring knowing he had so much fun on his mini vacation while I was away. Thank you so much, Rachel!

Safety, trust & environment
I have 5 acres of spacious beautiful yard and pasture, though it is unfortunately not fully fenced-our neighbors bordering fence is pipe fence that they can get under and through. Our dogs never stray from the yard and our guest pups generally do a great job of staying near by but we keep them on a long 50ft leash unless you are comfortable with them being loose in the yard.

Information Rachel A. would like to know about your pet
We just like to know a little about how your dog interacts with other dogs and what they prefer in terms of a schedule/exercise. If they are good with cats that is a bonus but we are happy to keep our kitties safely in the laundry room for the duration of your dog's stay if your pup is not comfortable with feline friends.
A typical day
We have a fun spot at the lake we like to go to, it is a short hike to a secluded little beach where the water is shallow and the dogs love to jump in after tennis balls and floaty toys.

Availability
Between my husband and I, our work schedule allows one of us to be home every day so the dogs are only alone for the occasional errand, grocery run or appointment.
