A home away from home for your furry children!

Pet care experience

I’ve had 4 dogs in my life and a cat (personal experience) but I have looked after my neighbours animals plenty of times too. My whole family have animals and between us we have quite the range! I love all animals and am missing my pets as I am in Bournemouth for the foreseeable future. I had a regular dog that I looked after over a year for 3/4 times a week so there’s a bit of a gap in my reviews but I’m more available than ever as that dog sadly moved away. I really love meeting different breeds of dogs/cats and learning their unique little traits ! I would be happy to show you the flat and meet up for a coffee to put you at ease ! I am not a professional groomer but I have doggy safe shampoo and conditioner that I use on my own pets when I am in wales and would be happy to do this if requested ! I work from home so would love to have a furry friend around to keep me company and get me out of the house for walks! I work mostly in the living room so the pets will likely be on my lap or on a fluffy blanket next to me until we go for our walks. I know some animals can really love a snuggle and some are more anxious so I always ensure the pet feels that they have their own space and go slowly to let them adjust to my flat. our flat is on the first floor and is spacious for medium- small dogs. Must be trained as we don’t have a private garden but we do have access to a grassy area for toileting! I can provide medication (oral) and feed as necessary. If there are any specific care requirements please let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate.

We’ve booked with Rachel a few times now, and each time our dachshund Barnaby comes home settled and worn out from all the play and attention! At first Barnaby would cry when we left but now he recognises where he is when we drop him off and he is excited to stay with Rachel. It gives us the peace of mind we need knowing he is in safe hands and is having a good time.

Rachel was an excellent sitter for Leon - not sure he wanted to come back home! After finding Rachel, we met up a few times to give Leon a chance to become familiar with her and we took him round to her flat for a short while to let get used to it before leaving him there for a week. While we were away, Rachel sent us pictures and video updates every day which was hugely appreciated and really helped us not worry about him. Rachel clearly understands dogs and also how important a dog can be to its people and she made sure we were all happy. Excellent!

Thank you, Rachel, for taking such great care of Lady over the last August bank holiday weekend while we were in Bournemouth. Lady was so excited to see you every time you arrived and she came back to us very happy. Thanks for being flexible and looking after her at your home instead when our plans needed to change, for collecting her / dropping her off each day and for your regular updates. We knew Lady was in safe hands with Rachel. Will book again next time we are visiting. Thanks again! :)

I honestly couldn’t recommend Rachel enough! From the initial hello, we agreed to meet and clearly I could tell Rachel is experienced and was genuine. We were kept up-to date throughout our holiday with photos and videos which put our minds at ease. She’s such a caring sitter who I would happily recommend to anyone. Thanks Rachel

Information Rachel Emily C. would like to know about your pet

I will need you to provide any items the dog requires i.e food/bed/toys but if they get muddy on a walk I will of course give them a bath and return them to you squeaky clean! (I have dog safe grooming equipment ! )

A typical day

I love making use of the beach as it’s so close to us! I am an avid reader and enjoy finding new reading spots. I used to take my dog lily everywhere with me but unfortunately when I moved out into my house I couldn’t take her with me as my mum was too attached ! I would love to spread some dog mom love to your furry friends and take them on my adventures with me !

I work from home part time and study my masters part time (also from home). Our flat is bright and open and missing a furry child !! I unfortunately can’t commit to having my own baby with me as I travel back and from wales to visit family. I would love to help out owners as I have plenty of experience with animals and would benefit so much from the company!
