I work full time however my office days are varied and spend the majority of my time working from home. My work is very flexible for me to be able to reshuffle my office days around which makes it very easy for me to be at home during your dogs stay. If you request and there is a need for me to attend the office over the booking I will let you know before the booking is officially accepted.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced spacious garden where my own dog runs freely in. It is perfect garden for a dog owner / sitter. I keep a key in my front door at all times so it is always locked. I also have a door which closes off my kitchen and living room to my hallway so if I get a knock at my front door, a dog can be kept safely in another room and not be able to get to the front door. I have dog seatbelts in my car. I have a ring doorbell and an indoor camera for security.

Information Rachel G. would like to know about your pet

Things I would like to know are: - Is your dog happy to be around other dogs? If no then please don’t book me for boarding or day care as my dog is very friendly and will approach another dog in the home. - Does your dog have any allergies? Or any treats/ food you do not like to give them. - How long can your dog be left alone? I don’t leave my own dog alone very often or for long periods but sometimes I do need to nip out. - Does your dog have any additional needs/ assistance they may need? Please see below more info regarding my dog. Mabel is a loving and friendly spaniel. She loves people so much! Mabel is also very friendly with other dogs and is happy to greet them/ give them a sniff and partake in the occasional play but mainly is just happy to co exist with other dogs!

A typical day

My dog gets walked first thing in the morning, on a lunch break and then after work. On a weekend we tend to do one longer walk. As she is a high energy dog I also like to tire her out with training, playing and getting her to sniff out treats and toys. We have a lot of space for dog walking near our home.

Pet lover providing a home away from home for dogs

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Rachel & my partner is Sam and we believe all dogs should be treated like a member of the family wherever they are! We’ve both grown up with dogs all our lives. I had border collies growing up and Sam had a bull dog growing up. Within our families we’ve also cared for dogs of all different breeds. We are the go to family pet sitters! We both have a great love for dogs. We now own a cocker spaniel. We absolutely love helping you out when you need your furry family members cared for! We’re always excited to welcome new dogs as well as all of our lovely returning guests. Your dog will be treat as another member of the family and will get all the same treatment as our own dog does! Mabel our dog also loves it when all her friends come round to stay with her! I have been very involved in the training of all of my dogs and take an interest in further training to help my dog. I have a ring doorbell camera and 2 inside cameras for security. I am fully insured with my own business insurance on top of rover care. I can accommodate caring for multiple dogs at a time but this will be very dependent on what my work schedule looks like, the size and energy level of the dogs I have in. I can provide multiple care mainly on weekends. Additional requests when I already have a dog in will be considered on a case by case basis and only if I’m confident they will get on well with other pets in the home. I would be happy to take 2 dogs from the same home/ family if you can give me assurance they get on well (this will also be dependent on size/ energy levels of the dogs) any questions on this please let me know! 🙂 (Sharing photos of all the fun on insta: Mabel.and.friends.petsitting)

Rachel was a great host. Communication was great and she was flexible with drop off and pick up times. More importantly Sadie enjoyed her time there and had no issues returning. If you want a friendly, loving substitute home for your dog whilst you are away then Rachel’s care is ideal.

Just the one night for Dax this time but we still got loads of photos and updates which we love. Dax is looking forward to his next stay in September.

Rachel and her partner looked after our Cockapoo for the day when we had a family event to attend. We were really nervous to leave her as she can be a little timid at times around other dogs. But our minds were put at ease as soon as I met them for the meet and greet. And it was great to have regular updates throughout the day. We would highly recommend 😊
