I work from home offering 24/7 care

Pet care experience

I have raised and cared for animals of all shapes and sizes for decades. I strive to provide a safe and calming environment for your pet so they will feel comfortable and safe being away from you, and their home! I have a 3 year old mini goldendoodle who is as sweet as can be and loves all animals. I work from home and rarely leave, allowing me to provide your pup with 24/7 care.

As always, Rachel and Bruce are the best. Sadie always enjoys her stay and Rachel sends the cutest pictures 💕

I highly recommend Rachel! She and Bruce took great care of my dog, Emmylou. I received many pictures and videos daily. Emmylou clearly had a great time!

Rachel took care of Cai while we had to go out of country. I was super anxious as this was an international trip but she took care of Cai as her own and I could complete my trip with ease of mind. She and her pup Bruce is awesome and I could see Cai had so much fun. Rachel was also super good at providing daily updates and I would definitely leave Cai with her in future.

I can’t recommend Rachel enough. Our baby was so well cared for. She gave us updates and sent so many adorable photos. Next time we need a sitter we are 100% going with Rachel and Bruce!
