Safety, trust & environment

I greet all animals with affectionate pets and usually with a treat (if allowed). Fresh, clean water will always be available. Food will be distributed and prepared per owner specifications. Treats will be given generously (with owner approval) in addition to pets and playtime. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement with animals. Each visit will have at least one walk. It is preferable that harnesses are available to use. If a collar is used, it should be "normal" (no shock collar or choker collar please). I am more than happy to being a harness along! Please let me know in advance. Each visit I will take photos to send with typed updates on how the furry friend is doing. I will discuss with the owner what is allowed and reccomened with the fur baby to make the experience more like a staycation :)

Staycation4FurBaby=GuiltFreeTimeAwa

Pet care experience

My family has always included at least one fur baby. When I moved out at 19, I became the proud owner of Russia, a hyper, sweet, spoiled Australian Cattle Dog/Labrador mix. After meeting my husband, she gained a brother, Chaos, a lazy, snuggly, wiggly brindle Cane Corso/English Bulldog mix. Last October we rescued Runner, a shy but loving and playful Husky. Last February we welcomed our most recent rescue, Germany, a spicy, diva Miniature Pincher. As a person with four fur babies of her own, I know that it is not always possible to take your fur babies with you. I am also familiar with the feelings of worry and guilt that are experienced when separated from them. For this reason, I make every effort to transform the pet's seperation into a staycation! I try to facilitate extra special experiences of love and quality time that in the past have included (when approved by the owner): Snuggles while watching a show Extra walk walks Car car rides to take walk walks in parks for a change of scenery Extra play time (especially ball ball and tug of war to wear them out!) Car car rides to the pet store to pick out a toy or treat Greeting them with a new toy or treat once a day Car car ride to a puppy play date Car car ride just for fun! And anything else the owner may suggest the furry friend may enjoy! :) I further take the time to send photos paired with a typed update each visit to the owners to ease the difficulty of being apart. I take care to follow any and all specifications communicated by the owner and always ask questions to clarify anything that I am uncertain of. I am excited to become friends with your fur baby!

Rachel is wonderful!! She took great care of our cats, guinea pigs and lizards. Our cat even managed to get stuck inside the wall in the basement somehow and she was able to get her out! I would recommend her to anyone and we would love to have her watch our fur babies again in the future ☺️

Rachel did an amazing job with my cats! She ended up coming twice for meet & greets since they were a little nervous and was super patient the whole time. You could tell she had a lot of experience with and really did like pets. She also took lots of pics and made sure to take good care of the cats & played with them. Would definitely recommend!
