Reviews
Rachel is an experienced dog trainer who Melvin immediately vibed with. Chill and very in tune with his needs I rested assured he was in very capable hands.
Thank you for the updates and helping with my last minute booking.
Great experience and professional! Accepted my pup on short notice and provided detailed updates and plenty of photos. Would use again in the future.
Our very fearful 5 yr old rescue dog, Ellie, was in exceptional hands in Rachel's care! She is a kind and VERY patient sitter who is flexible, reliable, and communicates regularly while you are away. Ellie got regular walks and felt very comfortable with Rachel--something not to be understated because Ellie doesn't adjust easily to change. However, Rachel gently welcomed Ellie, made her feel secure, and treated her like she was Rachel's own pet. If you are looking for a good 'home away from home' for your pet while you are away, you will be so happy you chose Rachel! She's AWESOME!

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has specific medical or behavioral needs. I can give meds, injections and subcutaneous fluids, and as a certified behavior consultant, I can manage and help to resolve a wide variety of behavioral concerns.
A typical day
More active dogs can enjoy lots of enrichment activities like nose work and hide and seek games. I currently live a block from Eckhart Park, where there’s never a shortage of doggie friends, or we if your dog isn’t the social type, we can avoid other dogs and stick to quiet alleys and side streets.
