Experienced Friendly Animal Lovers

Pet care experience

We have both taken care of dogs of every kind since we were very young, from our own dogs to friends and family’s dogs. This has been across all age ranges, as well as multiple breeds, personalities and some minor special needs. We also have great experience with a multitude of other animals and pets, including but not limited to cats, rodents and lizards. We are huge animal lovers that will treat any animal/pet as a part of our family. Nós falamos português também. Nosotros hablamos español también. 😊 We generally have an open schedule on the evenings and weekends, and like to do activities that we can include our animals in (as appropriate). We like to take Winnie and Mendo on daily walks, as well as get them out hiking, in the park, and spending time with other people and dogs as able. Keeping our pets happy and safe is our number one priority! We keep our home clean and supervise consistently to be sure of this. We also feel it’s important that they get the stimulation and exercise they need (and are comfortable with). Winnie has dealt with anxiety issues over the years, so we are familiar and have a lot of experience with dogs with different personalities that need more attention.

Rachel and Mariane are the best rovers on this site I swear. They are reliable, kind, and my cat absolutely LOVES them. I swear my cat looks forward to me going out of town so she can’t see them. Cannot recommend them enough!

Rachel and Mariane take such good care of our two cats while we’re away. Lots of cute pictures, comments, and the cats love to see them. They’re also wonderful to work with. From last minute requests, to booking errors to cleaning up paint one cat managed to spill on the hard wood floors while I was in labor, they truly go above and beyond. Highly highly recommend Rachel and Mariane.

We cannot thank Rachel and Mariane enough! We were out of town for three weeks (the longest we had ever been) and were not only stressed about leaving them for that long, but about finding someone willing to do it for that long (and over the holidays!) Rachel and Mariane not only took great care of our cats (including getting the shy one to come out of his shell!), but our house as well. The number of things that went wrong that they handled -- messes on rugs, toilets running constantly, doorbells needing batteries charged and replaced -- they truly went above and beyond. We would rebook Rachel and Mariane in a heartbeat!

My wife and I have varied schedules, so the pups spend very limited time alone (typically about 4 hours Wednesday through Friday, and about 5 on Tuesdays). On Saturday through Monday, we are home with them full time. We love to give extra love and attention to our (and your) pups, including them in activities and making sure they are well cared for.
