Welcoming new pack members!

Pet care experience

I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we have two of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them!

Rachel took care of our 13 week old puppy, our cat and chicken. She stayed at our house and was great with all the animals, especially the puppy who needs constant watching (unless he is asleep). We really appreciated the care she gave the puppy - you can tell she is a "dog person". Highly recommend her.

Rachel is an outstanding pet sitter and I won't hesitate to recommend and rebook her service. We got several photos of our pets every day, many of which are frameable quality! She communicates very well and we felt at ease with our pets in her care while we were away.

Rachel was a pleasure to work with. She was reliable, prompt, and most importantly our dog loves her. We will definitely request her services again. Thanks Rachel!

It was Lyka’s first time staying with Rachel and it won’t be the last. I enjoyed our vacation with peace of mind knowing that my fur baby was treated as if she belonged to Rachel’s family. I like that Rachel owned other dogs and they were older “senior” dogs, because they weren’t obnoxious and intimidating to my puppy. I knew my Lyka would be comfortable in that chill atmosphere. I didn’t receive too many updates or photos at first, but I came to appreciate the cadence and amount. I wasn’t specific in that communication. I know now to ask if I want more or less. (Personally, I think once or twice a day is necessary, but it depends on the owner’s preference.) All in all, Rachel cared and loved for my Lyka. She is definitely someone I will keep on repeat!
