Safety, trust & environment

I make sure that your dog has everything they need at home to follow their normal routine as if you have not left. We always make time for cuddles if your pet likes that and play time after walks. Let me know your dogs routine and comforts so I can make sure to provide that care while you are away.

Information Rachel J. would like to know about your pet

Any allergies, illnesses, medication details, things they do and don’t like, are they ok with kids other dogs, male female preference, tall people issues, specific toys they likely treats they like and food they like, how do they play (rough gentile runner), do they escape, can they slip their lead, are they a puller, are the skittish, If there is a storm how do they respond, do they have anxiety, need a thunder coat, do you leave a tv or music on for them.

A typical day

What ever is deemed appropriate with the parent. I have to high energy dogs at home so I am use to amusing all day long. I am more than happy to take them to their favorite spot or play with their favorite toys.

Pets

I love yours like I love my own ❤️

Pet care experience

I know well how to take care of every age group and health condition. It takes kindness and patience. I don’t want you to worry while you’re away, and will do all I can to keep your mind at ease even silly selfies! I do work 8:30-5pm as an hr manager but I am at home 3 out of 5 days per week and can do night checks. Weekends are wide open to spoil your furry loved ones. I only do care at your home to keep your dogs and mine safe. While I would love to have yours over we just don’t have the room with 200lbs of dog already here.
