Pet care experience

Experienced dog care

Experience: I joined the Army at 19 and became a veterinary technician. I went on to become a Social Worker but currently I am taking a step back to stay home. Throughout the years I have also been a pet owner, kennel worker, stray facility manager, and foster home for strays. I can administer medication, clip nails, clean ears, and handle the most difficult of pets. I have consistently gained the trust of timid, feral, stray, and abused animals. I have assisted in the care and evacuation of pets during hurricane Katrina. I have handled various medical issues and provided care after surgeries. Your pet will get a lot of love and attention. I don't have the prettiest house or perfectly manicured lawn but I provide a warm and down to earth environment for your babies and I stay home daily. I truly love what I do now and the connection I have with animals and helping them adjust, gain trust, and feel comfortable and cared for in a new environment. I have been watching pets full time out of my home since 2024 and part time the past 5 years. I watch multiple dogs/cats daily. Holidays and weekends are busier. I prefer you to bring your pet and their food only. With multiple dogs other items can get soiled or damaged. I have a lot of clean bedding, bowls, kennels if needed. I am usually booked daily. I cannot accommodate meet and greets for short stay new clients. My dogs and clients dogs are disrupted and have to wait outside or in kennels while some clients determine if the quality of my flooring is good enough for their dog. Rover takes 30 off the top for new stays. I prioritize the comfort and peace of my existing clients.

Rachel was very attentive to my Bleu and he really seemed to enjoy himself while in her care. She knew I was missing him and kept me updated with photos which I really appreciate. Thanks Rachel!!

Rachel was super professional and took great care of Arko (a super picky GSD), she was very proactive in her communications and always kept us informed. Highly recommend her and thank-you for taking care of Arko.

Schedule

I am home pretty much all day every day. I give frequent potty breaks and plenty of attention. Sometimes I may need to make a quick store run but I don't leave dogs alone together.

A typical day

I usually feed 2 x daily for boarding. I will provide more if the pet has special dietary needs or a different schedule. I provide playtime outside and inside. I offer shade and fresh water outside in my fenced backyard. I enjoy getting to know your pets and giving them special attention and cuddling on the couch. I have pet beds and other areas for them to relax.
