In a rut?I’ll take care of your mut

Pet care experience

I have been dog sitting professionally with my partner Nathan since 2015 on sites like Rover, Craigslist and Facebook. I live with my partner who is equally as amazing with animals. We have years of experience and genuinely just love being around dogs! I love all of them, big, small, medium, old, and young. You dog will get tons of exercise with me! Please let me know a typical day for your dog so I can accommodate him the best I can!

Rachel has done a fantastic job housesitting for me several times. She slept in my home with my 2 dogs, a cat, my daughters turtle, our salt water fish tank and large vegetable garden in back. Before Rachel, I had a hard time finding someone who was able to tend to all of our animals and plants, AND stay in our home. I am so thankful I have found her to take care of our babies! She is great at communicating and sending picture updates with our fur babies. She even brought her own dog with her and they got along so well! I love that despite our dog having separation anxiety, she catered to our pups so well with love and her dog played so well with the both of them! Thank you so much for babysitting our animals and plants!

Rachel is the best sitter I have found on rover!!! She always keeps in constant contact with me and updates me with numerous pictures every day! She is so great at capturing my pups having fun with her and her pup! My dog has numerous health issues and she was able to maintain my pups daily regimine of medications. She was able to give me pup multiple walks per day as well. She was not only great with my dog but she always visited my house every day to feed my cat, take care of my house plants, my garden, and my chickens!! She stood out from all the other rover profiles because she was able to take care of plants and my other animals. She even noticed my smoke alarm battery was running low in my house and notified me! I paypaled her money to go out buy new batteries and she fixed my smoke alarm! I couldn't believe that she payed attention to my house like that. Thank you so much for all your help!!

Rachel did an outstanding job watching our two dogs! Communication was easy and she sent updates everyday with pictures. I will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting needs and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible dog sitter! ?

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

What is your dogs energy level? Does your dog do well with other people? Does your dog do well with other dogs? What is your dogs eating habits? How much exercise per day does your dog get? Are there any spots on the body your dog doesn’t like other people to touch? Does your dog have any pain? Are you working on any training with your dog that you would like me to reinenforce.

A typical day

Think of our services like a doggy vacation! Let us know your dogs typical day so we can best accommodate them. I live in a nice neighborhood with 4 schools nearby with large fields and some fenced in areas. I live down the street from a few nature preserves where I can take your dog on a hike. I can take your dog to the dog park if you’d like.
