Paws-itively Perfect: Dog sitting

Hi! Happy you are here :) What sets me apart from other sitters is my dedication to providing tailored care for every dog, regardless of age or special needs. I specialize in both puppy training and senior care, ensuring that each furry friend receives the attention and support they deserve. With years of experience and a genuine passion for canine companionship, I go the extra mile to create a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment for all dogs under my care. Whether it's helping puppies develop good manners or providing gentle care for senior dogs, I strive to make every experience a positive one for both pets and their owners. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily and weekly routine, as I prioritize the well-being of furry friends alongside my responsibilities as a part-time nanny. My flexible schedule allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to your pup, ensuring they receive the care and companionship they need throughout the day. Whether it's morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles, I adapt my schedule to accommodate the needs of your pet, guaranteeing they feel loved and cared for at all times. With a commitment to providing reliable and personalized care, you can trust that your furry family member is in good hands with me. In both my home and my client's home, I provide top-notch care tailored to the specific needs of each pet. If I'm caring for pets in my own home, I ensure a sate and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. This includes designated play areas, cozy bedding, and plenty of toys and enrichment activities to keep them entertained. Additionally, I maintain a regular feeding schedule and adhere to any dietary restrictions or special instructions provided by pet owners. When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritize maintaining their familiar routines and surroundings to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. This includes regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection to make them feel loved and secure while their owners are away. I also handle any necessary feeding, medication administration, and basic grooming to keep them happy and healthy during my visits. Whether in my home or my client's home, my goal is to provide the highest level of care and attention to ensure the well-being and happiness of every pet entrusted to me.

Rachel was amazing! She arrived on time, sent messages and pictures to us throughout the day, and gave the love and care we were looking for to our Cavapoo while we were at a family event. Definitely will contact her again : ).

Rachel was the absolute best with our dog! This was the first time we left him with someone other than family and Rachel was extremely caring, responsive and attentive to our dog! She sent a lot of photos and updates as requested and even made an effort to help train our dog. I would absolutely recommend Rachel and will definitely use her services in the future for our dog!

If I could give Rachel 10 stars, I would! I have a male Jack Russell with separation anxiety that I can’t trust with just anyone & from the second she met him, it was a perfect match. He was so unusually calm the second he met her!!! She kept me updated periodically throughout the day, sent me photos & kept to his normal schedule. Rachel’s aura is a whole vibe! She loves your dog as if it were her own.

Pets

A typical day

In caring for pets, I ensure they have an enriching experience tailored to their individual needs and preferences. Activities may include morning yoga sessions to promote relaxation and bonding, followed by early morning walks where pets can explore and expend their energy. In addition, I incorporate creative outlets such as outdoor painting sessions and impromptu dance sessions, fostering a vibrant atmosphere that reflects my free-spirited and artistic approach to pet care. Sensory play activities like DIY scent stations and nature-inspired treasure hunts further engage their senses, ensuring each moment is filled with joy and stimulation.

Please fill me in on all the details about your fur child! Likes, dislikes etc! Nothing is too much. I often play country or meditation music during the day. If this is not your babes taste in music- let me know!
