My work schedule changes weekly based on my team's attendance that week, but typically I am in the office Mon-Thurs. On days I’m in the office, I’m gone from about 9am–4:30pm. We have a pet cam set up for when we are hosting other dogs so that we are able to monitor them sleeping on the couch all day. If your dog is house-trained and/or crate-trained and is comfortable being in a calm environment, they are welcome to come hang out with Tucker and Skye during the day! As soon as me or my husband are home from work, we’re back to playing, going on walks around the neighborhood, or heading to the dog park. On days I work from home, your pup will get tons of attention. There’s lots of playtime with my dogs and walks throughout the day. We live in a super dog-friendly area with plenty of walking paths and parks, so there’s always something to do.

When your dog stays with me you can expect: 1. A team of 2 dog sitters for the price of 1! (my husband & I) 2. Lots of play with our two dogs 2. Walks around the neighborhood 3. Photo updates to show that you’re dog is happy, comfy and settling in okay! A couple things to note: 1. We have 2 dogs in the house currently (your dog must get along with other dogs). Both our dogs are typically low-key and just laze around with us, but they are also always ready to walk and play at all times. 2. We have a (small) fenced patio area out back for them to potty and be outside. They will have plenty of space inside and outside to play with each other, however, since we don't have a full yard, your dog(s) will join ours on our neighborhood walks.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the typical temperament of your fur baby so I can gauge how they will do with our dogs. I do not have a breed preference, as long as your dog is friendly, gets along with other dogs and doesn't have ENDLESS energy as our dogs are pretty low-key. Let me know of any eating habits and/or sensitivity to any treats or foods!
A typical day
Daily walks around the neighborhood for some fresh air and dog park trips are a must as well, but I would never bring your dog to a dog park unless requested.

Pet care experience
Huge lover of dogs and puppies of all sizes and breeds! I grew up with family dogs and fostered dogs throughout college; it was a super rewarding and FUN experience. I’ve dealt with shy dogs, dogs with anxiety and pups as young as 6 weeks. Eventually I adopted my own and I can now say I’ve spent hours on end at dog parks. I am a happy owner of a 5 year old mix named Tucker (DOB: 9/20/17) and 1 year old golden retriever puppy named Skye (DOB: 3/20/22). My fiancé and I as a team will both be responsible for your fur babies so you get 2 dog sitters for the price of 1! We would love to meet, care and play with your pup and I'm sure our dogs will too. Just to note: Tucker is weary with humans and will bark his head off the second he sees a PERSON he doesn’t know... but other than that, he has no problems with other dogs and would love to hang out with yours!

Reviews
Our dogs LOVE staying with Rachel! She has kept them for us several times over the last couple of years and it’s always a positive experience for both us and our two pups, which really helps us enjoy our time away knowing they’re in such good hands. Rachel’s communication is great and she’s even been flexible with us a few times when needed. I really enjoy the picture and video updates during their stay - I can tell they feel right at home and have so much fun with her dogs as well :)
The best of the best!
Our dog had another wonderful stay with Rachel and we are so grateful for all the love and care she receives there. Thank you!
Rachel was absolutely amazing with our dog and kept her very active all weekend. Our dog was very loved and cared for and adored Rachel’s two dogs. We look forward to booking with them again. Thank you so much.
