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.

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.

Couldn't be happier with Rachel. She sent text updates and Dodger pictures multiple times per day so I knew he was in good hands while I was away on travel. I highly recommend Rachel!
