Information Rachel C. would like to know about your pet

Safety is my TOP priority. I’m very easy going and accommodating, I just need to be aware of any behaviors, allergies or preferences of boarding/walking at the time of initial contact. I just ask my clients to please be upfront with any behavior issues your pets may have, as I have animals/children of my own and potentially others staying with me. If I don't know of any issues, I can't take the necessary precautions. Please and thank you!

A typical day

We start our day out early with a let out 6:30-8?, then feed and give love. We go for a longer walk (9-10)in the morning exploring the new neighborhood. We come back and have a little down time with a let out mid afternoon (11-1) until the early afternoon. We feed dinners(5pm) and then go out for another longer walk. Last let out is 9 pm! This schedule is case by case as we cater to any needs of the dog throughout the day!

Pet care experience

Hey, I’m Rae ☀️🐾 Animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. My husband I work together to create an ideal environment for every pet we care for! I have 15+years in the pet care industry such as dogs, cats, horses, bunnies, fish, birds, etc. For about 5 years I was a professional trainer/kennel manager certified through National K9 dog trainers association and Scott Muller. I specialized in puppy programs, off leash, service dogs and rehabilitation, so I’m extremely comfortable under any circumstances. I I have two dogs myself: Kahlua is my spunky cattle dog/pit mix (11) and Shelby a sweet black lab mix (4). I strive to make my clients feel like they are family and treat them like my own. I provide pictures and updates daily to make you as comfortable as I can while away from your fur babies!

This was a great experience for both me and Luna. When she came home, I could tell she really enjoyed her time there—she was calm, happy, and not overly clingy at all. That says everything! I truly appreciate the care and attention she received.
