Availability
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.)

About Rachel & Donald K.
Communication
Skills
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.

Information Rachel & Donald K. would like to know about your pet
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!
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.

Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
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.
Sparky really enjoyed his stay and we felt so assured that he was safe and having a great time. He looked like he was having so much fun in all the pictures that we were worried he wouldn’t want to come home!!
