Who Rescued Who♡

Hello! My name is Rachel. I'm currently an online college student pursuing my bachelor's degree in Sports Administration and work as an Event Supervisor. I've owned dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. My beloved Australian Shepherd, Ace, was my best friend for 14½ years, and we completed obedience training together twice. My significant other and I currently have a cute, sassy cat named Stinky, and I also have family members who rescue dogs, giving me valuable knowledge and experience with animals of all kinds. I know your pet is family, and my goal is to care for them just as you would. I strive to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment so you can have peace of mind while you're away. If my calendar doesn't show availability that meets your needs, please don't hesitate to reach out! My schedule can sometimes be more flexible than what's reflected, and I'm always happy to see if we can find a time that works.

Safety, trust & environment

When taking care of your pet at your home, if there is a fenced yard, I like to know if there are any holes or possible escape artists. If there is not fence I will keep your pet on a leash at all times

Rachel did a great job with our pups. We received pictures each day and little reports reassuring that they were eating which they sometimes don't when we're out of town. Our wishes were followed perfectly. Both pups were very calm and content when we arrived home which again isn't always the case when we come home from out of town.

Rachel was great! She cared for our two dogs and house when we were out of town for ten days. Every day she sent pictures which helped put our mind at ease. She was also very quick to respond. We would definitely hire her again.

Rachel did a great job taking care of our dog, Sully! I get anxious about leaving him and this was the most relaxed I've been on a trip in a long time. She was timely and responsible, and really took in all of the Sully-information I gave her. (He has allergies and meds, so it was more info than your average dog.) She provided frequent updates and was able to get two rounds of exercise in, despite it being mid-July. Sully seemed really relaxed (and tuckered out!) when we returned and the house was in great shape. I would definitely hire Rachel again!

Rachel did an amazing job with our older lab who has separation anxiety. She kept us updated and we were able to relax knowing she was taking good care of him. I will definitely book with Rachel again. It's so nice to know we can take trips and not have to worry. Thank you, Rachel!

My border collie, Annie, is totally in love with Rachel. When Annie sees Rachel, she starts "talking" very loudly so that Rachel will give her a pat on the head or a back scratch. I trust my beloved dog with Rachel. I know she is kind and loving toward all dogs I have seen in her care.

Rachel did a fantastic job at caring for my dogs! She has watched them on several occasions, and they are always excited to see her arrive before my departure. One thing I particularly enjoyed about her services were the photo updates she sent. I always worry about my muttleys when I'm away, but her updates reassure me that they are happy and taken care of. We will definitely be using her services again in the future.

You show me what obedience you want them to continue to have, if they have any health issues and have been prescribe medications, you show me what they are and what the best way is to administrate them to the dog, if they are allowed on furniture or not, and what their favorite toy/play style is, and everything else that you believe I should know I want to know to take care of your furrbaby.
