Information Rachel A. would like to know about your pet

Do they have any special needs, food...medication... a little bit about there personality are they dog and people social..do they like more quiet time, things like that. Please provide, at least basic important shots, flea med's, vet information and emergency number. All doggies must be house broken unless it is a puppy in training. Puppy pads, toys, bedding, food and dishes are best provided by fur parents. If you forget their dish we can manage something....lol

A typical day

I usually stay around here locally, there is a little park up the way I sometimes take them or walk on the sidewalk side of the Ocean as I am right here by the beach. I sometimes take them to buccaneer park and walk across the street here by the beach and or a car ride as well if parents are okay with it the car ride.

Pets

PERSONAL TOUCH one doggie at a time

Pet care experience

Personal Private Doggie care. I only watch 1-2 doggie per guest at a time, mainly one at a time. While other doggie sitters watch over 6+ fur babies a day or night. So your fur baby will have exculsive boutique fur sitting. Usually if they come in a pair makes two, some exceptions are made of course, so your pup gets extra loving attention. Walks are NOW included in Doggie boarding or Daycare 30-60 min increments walk per day or overnight booking. I normally do not do separate daycare, unless it’s dog boarding, some exceptions apply for repeated doggie parents. But don’t hesitate to ask me as I may be available if I have an opening. Also note that drop off time am ends at pickup same time am, example; if u drop off at 7:00am, pickup is 7:00pm for daycare per day. For night boarding if drop off is at 6am day one, pickup is at 6:00am day two. After that the rate is extended to 8 hours half a day or full day after 8 hours. You are welcome to do an early pickup but same rate applies. No pickups after 10pm an extra night will be added if applicable. All fur friends must be house broken updated shots and on a some kind of natrual flea and tick remedy. A flea free home is a happy home. Please provide updated shot list and emergency contact info, pet nick and love names, habits and commands that apply per fur baby. Owner provides food, their dishes, pet bed, toys any of furbabies goodies if applicable. 🐶 woof! This helps them feel more at home just the simple things is good. We keep in touch along their stay. Hi Pet Parent! I'm a doggie lover who use to own 9 pups! Yes 9! But they all went to doggie heaven! And my heart was so broken so now I like to call myself a pet sitting mommy who can care for your baby so you can focus on the things you need to without having to worry. Pets are my love hobby and a very big part of a family, so I like to treat them like my own. We offer walks with there stay Which are a must for every pup! play, feedings, and their potty breaks in-between. I give extra precautions in supervising outdoors with small dogs as well. I will even leash them to go outside if it's an open space but we are fully fenced here now, I still supervise them at all times if need be during there potty runs. I will walk them and run them. I have a Yorkie/pap who loves to assist and after adopting my mom's senior chihuahua who passed away, adopted Pinky Peeks. I'm also a freelance photographer and work in Film & Television so if I'm not doing that, I am pet sitting from home. Cash (Yorkie pup) Pinky Peeks (Chihuahua) and I would love to meet you and our new friend and spend some fun and special time with them! If you need a reference, can provide upon request. So give us a ring and let's get started, we can do a meet and greet! Thank you so much for your inquiry! We would love to meet you both! Also if you need me on on another extra day as well, I can be pretty flexible with my schedule, please just ask me and I will see if it is something I can accommodate with you prior, if you are already here, and need that extra day then we will work what we can of course. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you! Due to smaller breeds in my home, unfortunately, we are not able to take in aggressive or larger breeds. However, there had been some acceptions with seniors who are very calm larger breeds, like mentioned in my note above I only sit 1 fur friend at a time max 2. Also if my calendar says I'm not available on a weekend weekday Thursday-Tuesday, please check with me as I may be able to work those days, just let me know your needs and I will see how I can accommodate. Thank you for reading our profile. Woof! Other Skills: Basic Encouragement Clicker training & Vet Assistant Certification, Dog Walker & Pet Lover of course!

Rachel was wonderful with our Louie! She kept us constantly updated with photos and took so much care and attention. Louie came home happy and tired from his adventures with Rachel and her two sweet little pups. We will definitely look to book Rachel for future needs! Thank you!

My doggies felt right at home at Rachel’s house and I was able to have a long overdue date night with my sweetheart. Thanks again Rachel!
