I work from home, so I’m always here, and I have a newly fenced in yard perfect for pups! There is also a dog park a five minute drive away from my house that I like to take my dog too, if you are comfortable with your dog being in a car, I will happily take them to go play with other dogs as well.

I have a one story house, so no stairs necessary for the older dogs and a fenced in backyard.I have a mosquito net that dogs can walk through so that the backyard door can remain open and dogs can come in and out as they please, and 8 foot tall fences so there’s no chance even the biggest pup can make it over.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or is allergic to anything. Also please let me know if you prefer your dog to play with other dogs, or if they’re more of a keep to themselves kind of dog. And let me know their favorite things to do!

A typical day

Every dog is different but the possibilities are endless! I personally take my dog everywhere unless I feel that he would not enjoy a certain environment. So if you would like yours to be around people and other dogs, I will happily take them places where they can socialize. If you prefer them to stay home, that’s fine too. We will go on walks around my little neighborhood, and do anything else you wish. I have a box of toys for playing indoors if it’s too hot as well :)

Pet care experience

Just finished replacing my fence and deck and the backyard is officially ready for some fluffy guests! I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, from puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, even some hamsters and sugar gliders! Nothing makes me happier than taking care of animals.

Rachel was fantastic! Great communication beforehand and she also sent pics and videos and I could tell our dogs felt right at home and safe. She did great and we will be using her again!!

Rachel responds quickly, is familiar with dogs, has a great dog herself, and is calm about all arrangements. Its a super casual environment, with indoor and outdoor areas for pets. My dog was happy when I picked her up. Although my dog may have caused her the allergic reaction she experienced, I got a call right away with the details and she remained committed to the boarding, and was really nice about it. I would book again for my next 1-2 day stay.

Rachel is AMAZING! This was the first time leaving my pup, Butch, so I was a little anxious. Rachel sent pics and videos of Butch having the best time and I was able to relax and enjoy our trip. Her dog Toby was also a great playmate and quickly became Butch’s bff. I would 100% recommend having Rachel watch your furbabies. I will absolutely be rebooking for our next trip.

Rachel was absolutely amazing with Ollie! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter. She took such wonderful care of him, and it was clear he was happy and well-loved during his stay. We highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring and responsible pet sitter – she's the best and we will book again!
