Pet care experience

Fenced Yard, Play Time & Cuddles

I’ve always loved dogs. They are a true best friend and loyal companion. I have a medium Beagle/AmStaff mix for the past 3 years, rescued her when she was a few weeks old. I have over 14 years experience — I have always been around dogs whether at friends and family homes. My pup Joey is super happy to have loving family and I want to help others when traveling or needing daytime care. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can drop in for some day time playtime. Or go for a walk around the neighborhood or dog park. I can administer medication and first aid for dogs. I’m great at training and listening skills for pups. I love playing and snuggling with furry friends. 🐶 ❤️

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a caring, pet-friendly environment. My priority is that all dogs feel safe. I always recommend doing meet & greet for boarding and doggy daycare to make sure our dogs are compatible and comfortable with each other. I'm very loving and warm. I see dogs and puppies like my children and give the most attention they deserve. Treats for tricks and working on leash training. Lots of pet rubs, snuggles and playing with the ball. Belly rubs and head pats are the best.

Rachel is a warm, caring and wonderful dog care taker. She and her family gave our JoJo many cuddles and sent us lots of pictures so we could relax on our vacation knowing that our pup was happy. I highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again to take care of our JoJo!

Schedule

I currently have a flexible schedule and love puppies and dogs. I walk my dog, Joey every morning. Joey loves meeting new dogs and very friendly with cats too, however if you prefer one-on-one time that's okay too! I will take the lead of the owner's request.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Rachel can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your dog has special needs or routines. I will take the owner's lead and instruction. I look forward to meeting your pup! Before dropping your pup off with me, please make sure to bring all the essentials they will need during their stay including: food, treats, toys (I have plenty) bedding and their crate and bathe them beforehand. Guest dogs are allowed to roam freely while I’m home, the crate is only needed for when I need to leave the house for errands. I primarily stay at home during the days.
