Let us be your pets second family!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Rachel and my Husband’s name is Dan, and we would like to thank you for considering us for your pets needs! We have owned dogs all of our lives, and love all animals big and small! I have a degree in animal biology and have volunteered with several animal shelters and zoos over the years. I have taken dog CPR, and attended obedience training classes. I have a wonderful husband, and two delightful animal loving kids! We adore opening out home to your canine babies. We also love taking care of your feline kids too! We have a small fenced backyard. We have a older mellow little French bulldog mix, who loves to be with other dogs! I love sharing photos with you! Let us be your pets second family, when you need us! COVID-19 disclaimer: We will be honest when booking if we are aware of any exposure, and ask that you do the same. Please do not drop your pet off or attend a meet and greet if: 1. You have had COVID-19 symptoms (please see the cdc website for a comprehensive list) in the last 14 days. 2. You have a first hand exposure to someone with symptoms (a co-worker you interact with in person, in home family, or close friend). Both my husband and I are vaccinated. If you need help with your pets due to a family emergency, hospitalization, funeral, flight cancelations/delays, or a natural disaster, etc.. please ask! There are also multi pet discounts, extended stay discounts, among others built into my profile. We are here for you, and we are all in this together! Please be aware of the additional cost when booking care for puppies (dogs under 1 year old) this is to cover any additional care needed due to house training accidents and chewing. I will gladly refund you some of additional cost if no issues arise. We added this change in order to keep our rates affordable overall, and to be able to offer discounts to those in need. I currently work from home part time and both children are on school during the say. We have daily walks and lots of love and attention. The pets are only left alone for grocery shopping, or an occasional appointment. When in my home they are treated as one of our own. All of us treat them with love and respect. We follow a daily routine, and will follow yours as close as you need.

We were very impressed with Rachel’s ability to handle our new pup. We only had our new puppy for three weeks before he stayed with Rachel and her family for two weeks over winter holidays. After the stay he is as happy and healthy as ever! He also got some great socialization with kids and other dogs. Would definitely book with Rachel again.

Information Rachel & Daniel M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know behavioral issues that they may have (separation anxiety, marking, problems when trying to walk them, food aggression, chewing and barking). If the pet is in any physical pain due to a shot, recent surgery, age, or a medical condition please let me know so we can adjust! Additionally I need to know if your dog is an escape artist (so I can use a tie out or be present when they are in the backyard). I am able to accommodate almost any pet, but I like to be prepared! I need proof that their rabies shot is up to date (email or a photo will work) . For puppies I will also need parvo & kennel cough. If your dog has any medical issues or allergies please let me know. Please let me know how they are with children and other dogs ( I can separate them in some cases and use extra supervision when at the playground or dog park). I love to know their little individual quirks good and bad!

A typical day

We have a large open area behind the house, and a fenced yard for potty breaks. I also do walks 2 times a day. We are close to a playground and dog park for walkable excursions. We prefer to not go to the dog park for your dogs safety but if there are reasons for not being able to walk/run for an active dog, we can take them with your permission and weather permitting. We live in a residential area, on a culdesac.

I work part time from home, so bathroom trips will be frequent, as will walks! I only leave the house if my husband is there, or if the trip is short such as a quick grocery run or doctors appointment. We walk twice daily, once in the morning and once after dinner.
