Rachel has been helping me care for my 2 black labs for years.i met her through a friend.i needed someone to stay with my dogs for a weekend.i knew immediately when she met me and my dogs that it was going to be a great fit. The dogs just love her. She talks to them plays with them and gives them so many hugs and kisses. Also lots of tummy scratches. We have a fenced yard and I don't walk them because of my knees. She walks them and they love it. She also let's them sleep with her which I'm in with because they sleep with me. Sometimes she'll just come for the day if I'll be gone for a long time. Basically what ever I need. I completely trust Rachel with my dogs and my home. She's very clean. She'll even vacuum dog hair if needed. It's so nice not having to worry. My dogs actual miss her for a couple of days after she leaves. You would be lucky to have her.
