Safety, trust & environment

I assure that safety is priority and I will follow all provided directions while in your home and caring for your pets! I also don’t mind doing certain household things, if necessary.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog aggressive or ever bitten anyone? Are they friendly/sociable with other dogs? Do they chew furniture, clothes, etc.? Are they afraid of certain things? Are they housebroken?

A typical day

Lots of CUDDLE TIME! If your dog is crate trained, I will ensure they are fed, played with and happy, returning them to their locked crate. Pictures and updates of your dog during their stay can be added at your request. I want the best for your dog just as you do, and I can provide all the care they need to the absolute best of my ability. I will respectfully care for your dog in your home, abiding by all rules and routines. Meals will be given at your designated time.

YOU GO AWAY, WE STAY AND PLAY!!!

Pet care experience

Hello! A little about me, I am 34 years old, fun-loving and I have a huge place in my heart for our furry friends; dogs are my happiness. I grew up with my first dog and loved her dearly for 12 years before she passed. Since then, I can't see life without a cuddly fur baby! Currently, I have a 9yr old ball of energy who is nothing but fun, and a 6yr old lab mix who is currently into chasing squirrels and flies! We have a bond no one can break and they are my heart and soul. In the past, I have volunteered at the TSA Puppy Program in San Antonio, and Austin Pets Alive in my spare time. I am so excited to work with you and your pup! Nothing makes me more happy than those adorable, lovable faces. As your sitter, I promise to be your dog's second best friend :-) caring and watching over them like I do my own cuddly pal. All pets need that unconditional love, even when their owners are not around. And that's where I come in to love and play with them, keeping them engaged and happy. It will be a joy! I choose to do drop-in visits at the client's home because that's an environment your pet is already familiar with and will be comfortable. I always go over all details with you, or you can leave me a note, this way we will be on the same page as to what best works for the babies.

She kept me in the loop when my dog had a funny tummy when she arrived and even helped with the clean up
