Pet care experience

WFH-Fenced Yard-Dogs/Cats Welcome

Your dog will have a great stay with me and my family. We have a spacious house, a fenced yard, I work from home and homeschool so your pooch will get lots of time, attention and care. There is a park near by and quiet streets for long walks. I have lots of experience with dog care, I can provide a calm and loving environment for anxious dogs and I can care for senior dogs and dog that need medications. I usually take one dog boarder at a time but will occasionally make exceptions for doggy day care, regular clients or dogs from the same household.

We love Rachel! We recently moved further away in Brooklyn, but still travel the extra distance to use her when I'm away because she's so good with Brix. I feel so much more at ease leaving Brix with her and can spend my time away stress-free. Brix even needed eye drops this stay and Rachel was able to handle those! If Brix could talk, she'd beg me to take her to Rachel's every weekend.

Thank you so much to Rachel and her family! Our dog Ace ran inside at drop off because he was so excited. Rachel sends up the best updates. She also made Ace some homemade wet food. Thank you again and we will see you soon!! 🐶🐶💕💕💕

Rachel was reliable and straightforward. Good communication and sent updates/pictures of my dog. I didn’t see her full set up but the little I saw (front part) was nice. Sorry it didn’t work out for my dog.

Rachel is a reliable and trustworthy pet caretaker for my dog Daisy. I have been using her day care and boarding services for several years and feel confident recommending her.

Rachel and her family were so loving with Shoko and communicative about how he was doing. He loved Teddy and the cat too!

Schedule

I work from home and home school my high-school son, my schedule is flexible. I have a spacious home so, if needed, dogs can have their own separate space and quiet time. I have a fenced back yard for play breaks and getting fresh air in between walks. My own dog and cat are very friendly and love meeting new friends.

Safety, trust & environment

I have cared for dogs that needed medications and special medical care (check with me first). I usually go for two walks a day and can provide as many potty breaks and short walks as needed. I also cared for dogs that have anxiety and know how to provide them with a calm and soothing environment. I give the best doggy massages.

Pets

A typical day

There is a park nearby for morning walks and nice quiet streets in the neighborhood for evening walks. We like to play fetch in the back yard and have play 'sessions' in the house. For dogs who love to lounge there are several dog beds, a comfy sofa and any time is a good time for nap time.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs. Senior and special need dogs will be charged $10-$20 extra a day, depending on the care they need. Please let me know about any behavior I should be aware of to make your dog's stay a success. For example, does your dog bark, pull on the leash, pick up food in the street, reactive to other dogs/squirrels/bikes, has separation anxiety etc. I accept dogs and puppies that are fully potty trained (no pee pads please). Please provide your own food and feeding instructions. I recommend bringing your dog's bed and a toy to help your dog feel at home away from home.
