Availability

I work part time providing flexibility to prioritize the pet cate that you need. I am a highly active person and often outside, so pet sitting naturally fits into that. I am available for pet boarding and sitting most days with the exception of Sunday mornings.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a quiet low traffic part of Clarksville with a dog park only a block away. My complex is fenced in and your pet would go outside on a leash in a large yard directly out front to potty. I have a cat, Clancy, who is very used to dogs as I have boarded many in the past at my home. He is a friendly, curious little guy and enjoy the extra company. Additional, I have a crate if needed.

Thoughtful care for your fur babies

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 15. I am my friend’s go to sitter, frequently taking their pets on walks and to the dog park. My experience ranges from caring for high energy weimaraners, to a senior beagle who required frequent bathing and medication, to a weenie dog who I would bring to a Saturday morning weenie dog meet up at a park near by.

Rachel was terrific. She took great care of my cat & was a fantastic communicator. Highly recommend.

Rachel has watched my golden retriever, Sadie, countless times. Rachel is someone who is always so joyful when she picks up Sadie and they have a blast together. She always sends pictures of their time together and Sadie barks out of excitement every time she sees Rachel. At this point I think Sadie would choose Rachel over me!

Rachel has been around pets her entire life. She grew up with cats and dogs and knows firsthand they are part of the family. Her experience ranges from puppies and kittens to seniors. Rachel is very active herself and loves to take furry companions on walks with her. Our dogs love to see Rachel coming, and after their walk they come home tired (in a good way), happy, and content. Rachel is flexible, prompt, and very attentive to our dogs. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone who is looking for a responsible and caring dog walker.
