Availability

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.

Information Rachel K. would like to know about your pet

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.

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.

Pet care experience

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.

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

We have used Rachel several times to watch our fur baby. She communicates with us to give us frequent check-ups on how the pup is. she sends pictures and takes excellent care of the dogs placed in her care. She has a friendly dog who we now affectionately, referred to as our dogs "boyfriend"..lol. We will not hesitate to call on her and hope that we can continue to book Rachel for our dedicated dog care.
