Safe & Reliable Dog Care!
Pet care experience
Dogs are my best friends and I love to make them happy! I have a lifetime of experience caring exclusively for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I have lovingly cared for and trained my own two giant rescue dogs and trained two Great Danes before them. My experience includes food preparation (including raw diet preparation), minor medical care (oral medication, insulin shots, and basic first aid), basic training experience (clicker training & positive reinforcement methods), and I have worked with dogs who have special needs/physical disabilities who might need more attentive care! I am CPR certified thru PetTech and have attended their first aid course. My pets do not come with me to stays as they are lazy homebodies so I am more than happy to accommodate dogs who might be apprehensive/reactive around other dogs! Unfortunately my skills and experience do not transfer to cats as I am allergic. My goal is to provide for your dog the love and care you would give them if you were home, and provide for you peace of mind while you travel. I am also known for sending plenty of high quality photos of your pet throughout the stay! Although I love all animals and am willing to provide care for your caged, aquatic, or backyard critters, I am SEVERLY ALLERGIC TO CATS so I cannot stay in houses that have them!
Reviews
Rachel was great. She was on time, communicated well and sent pictures of my dog. The house was in great shape when I returned. Everything I asked, she did.
Rachel is wonderful to work with! This is the first time I’ve used someone other than family to watch our pup and she did such an amazing job. Her communication is top notch, daily check-ins, pictures and a recap of the daily activities were so appreciated. She took excellent care of our pup, and our home. Thank you so much Rachel for putting us at ease and knowing our pup was in excellent care!
Rachel took great care of our dog, Koda, while we were out of town. We returned to a happy dog and well kept house. We would recommend Rachel’s services to any of our friends.
Rachel was extremely responsive and left the house in great condition. Our pup was very happy. We will definitely book again. Definitely exceeded expectations!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am familiar with a variety of training types and prioritize your pets' safety in accordance with what you would typically provide in your home! I am also happy to provide standard home care services such as mail/package pick up and snow removal.
Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet
Any medical information or allergens. Any training concerns or any social concerns, as well as any personality quirks or strange habits your dog has. No breed of dog is better than the other for me, but I do have a fondness for the very, very, very giant ones!
A typical day
I'd love to spend time with your pup playing outside, cuddling, and taking lots of pictures together! I love the outdoors and nature. I will happily take high energy dogs on long walks or spend lots of time outside playing. For dogs that might like to relax, I'm perfectly content to snuggle up for some loving belly rubs!
