Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve watched dogs & cats regularly over the last 15 or so years. I absolutely love all animals, both big and small. I have experience with giving medication & caring for senior pets.

Rachel did an amazing job with our dog Johnny. She was really nice and sent many updates throughout the day as well as pictures. Our dog was very happy with her.

Remi love’s staying with Rachel and had a great time as always! He’s spoiled and always so happy to see Rachel and Nora. Rachel does an amazing job communicating updates and was flexible when I came to get Remi early due to a schedule change!

Rachel took wonderful care of my Venus. I would use her again in a heartbeat. She was so sweet and caring.

Rachel and Chris were wonderful pet sitters. Omar was well taken care of and enjoyed his visit. Rachel was quick to respond and the communication was excellent. We loved getting pictures and updates about Omar.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and although it is small, I love walking the dogs around the neighborhood and nearby at the park if they’re up for a short ride in the car! I have a 1 year old pup, Nora, who LOVES to play and would stay by your pets side all day. Nora is still a puppy and is about 70lbs and due to her high energy, she may be overwhelming to small, senior or very shy dogs. I am also happy to watch your animals in your home, but because I do work full time, they must be able to be home by themselves during the day (~9 hours). Boarding is preferred so they can have someone home with them all day long!

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs any medication or has any food sensitivities as we like to spoil our pups with treats. I will accommodate to any of your dogs needs. Please also let me know if they enjoy interacting with other dogs on walks.

A typical day

I love getting the dogs outside for walks around the neighborhood and if the weather is nice, over to the nearby lake for a longer walk. We have lots of toys in the house and would love to spoil your pets with lots of treats :)

Although I work full time, my boyfriend works from home and is able to let dogs staying with us in and out as needed. We live in a townhouse so animals must be able to go up/down stairs. We are homebodies and one of us is home almost all the time, so your dog will never get lonely!
