Pet care experience

Your pets deserve the best!

I've had animals since I was a child and have taken care of them all of my adult life. I have personally fostered over 75 dogs through to their adoptions! I'm a trusted caregiver who can handle animals of all sizes, ages, abilities and temperaments! I love getting to know each animal's personality and how to best take care of them!

Rachel and Donald watched our black lab Abby for 2 weeks while we were on vacation. It was the first time we left her for so long. Rachel and Donald treated Abby like family, their two dogs got along great with Abby and we were updated with notes and pictures regularly.

We could not have asked for better care takers for our sweet George. Rachel and Mark took such wonderful care of our dog. We came back to a happy and exceptionally cared for canine. They even did a fun peanut butter craft with him. George loved them and their fur friends so much! It seemed like he wanted me to go back in their home with them instead of going home haha! They are the BEST!! We will definitely be booking with them again. Thank you, both! :)

Rachel is the best. She takes great care of our little princess. We will use her for any of our future trips.

My old, blind, deaf, anxious dog seems to be happy at Rachel and Mark's house. This was the second time I took him and he was already comfortable when I left him. I am very thankful to have found them. They are the best dog sitters for any kind of dog you may have!

They cared for our kitty, sent terrific pics and provided humorous commentary.

Rachel was great to work with! My boy, Jethro, can be very anxious and excitable and she handled him with such ease! From the meet and greet to pickup, I was comfortable and felt that Jethro was going to be in good hands. I would definitely book again if we needed.

Schedule

With several dogs and a cat at home, I am always in pet care mode (and know how important it is to find a trusted sitter). Whether it is a drop-in or a boarding situation, I treat each pet like they are my own. (Also, our cat has his own "wing" of our home so he is not interacting with any visiting dogs.)

Safety, trust & environment

We have two friendly, large dogs, Tennessee & Tucky who have been foster brothers to over 75 dogs of all sizes and ages. Having fostered so many dogs, I recognize that each animal is unique and I enjoy getting to know their individual personalities and how to best care for them. Whether the animals are in my house or their own, I will follow the owners' instructions and manage expectations so there are as few surprises as possible. I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet(s) in the care of another, and I pride myself on making sure the animals are taken care of and enjoy themselves.

Pets

A typical day

I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of access to our fenced half-acre yard to run and fetch, and free rein over the couches when they need a rest.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
No females in heat
Rachel & Donald can host up to 4 pets per night
Is your dog high-energy and needs room to run or play fetch? ✔️ Does your dog need socialization with other dogs? ✔️ Is your dog a couch potato who just wants a blanket and treats? ✔️ Does your dog need its own space to relax? ✔️ Does your dog have a strict feeding and/or medication routine? ✔️ Let me know your dog’s routine and your expectations and we’ll make sure they are happy during their stay!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
