Fenced yard & I'll run w/ your dog!

Pet care experience

***FYI I work full time, so your dog will have to be crated during the work day.*** I can run with your dog, or take them to the dog park! I've had dogs for my entire life! Growing up I was the kid in my family that would give our dogs extra attention. After I moved out on my own, I told my parents I would wait 6 months before I adopted a dog. It ended up taking 6 weeks before I adopted one. Adopting Gerty has taught me how to manage dogs with behavioral issues, as she had very bad separation anxiety at first. I know several techniques to calm dogs down and make them more comfortable in a new environment. Back in September 2018 I adopted another dog, Zeus, who also ended up having some behavioral issues but has come a long way! He is great with all other dogs. I run most mornings with my dogs, so they are tired for the time when I am at work during the week. I have a nice fenced-in yard for them to play in, and when it's nice out, they area always begging to go outside and explore. Every weekend (weather permitting) I go to a new park within an hour of my house to explore new hiking trails with my dogs. Dogs that stay with me will definitely get their exercise. I have a full time job, so during the weekdays the dogs will have to go a while between potty breaks. On the weekends, though, I am home all day to play with them.

Rachel did a great job taking care of my baby Bowser. She kept me updated with photos and messages and treated Bowse like he was her own. I felt comfortable that she would provide him with the best care while I was away.

Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for our dog. She took care of him and walked him as well. I highly recommend her.

Rachel gets my highest recommendations! Boarding my dog Libby with Rachel was an great experience. During the stay Rachel sent me photos of Libby and it was clear she was relaxed and having a great time. Rachel does an outstanding job, and we will definitely be repeat clients.

Information Rachel B. would like to know about your pet

Your dog must be good with other dogs and up to date on all of their shots, as I have two of my own dogs. I would like our dogs to meet beforehand. Part of my fence isn't as tall, so if you are afraid of your dog being able to climb or jump over, please let me know beforehand. I can also show the fence to you during our meet-and-greet.

A typical day

I spoil my dogs and I will spoil yours too! I have two parks nearby my house that my dog loves to explore. If your dog is with me for the weekend and you're comfortable with it, I will take them on a hike with me! I go to a different trail every weekend and walk around for a few hours with my dogs. I have a fenced-in yard and love playing fetch, though my dogs aren't very good at it!
