Rachel is amazing! She watched my dog Luna while I was away on a long vacation, and I couldn’t have felt more at ease. Knowing that she works in the vet industry gave me extra peace of mind—Luna was in the best hands possible. Rachel went above and beyond to make sure Luna was well taken care of, from feeding and walks to just giving her the love and attention she’s used to at home. She also kept me updated with pictures and messages, which really helped me relax and enjoy my trip. When I got back, Luna was happy, healthy, and clearly had been so well cared for. I would 100% recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

Veterinary technician by day, dog sitter by night! Rachel is knowledgeable, loving, and ensures that pups have everything they need to feel comfortable while their loved ones are away. We have two Labrador Retrievers and hands down, she is the only person I trust my boys with.
