I work a hybrid job which means my work from home days change every week depending on my teams' schedule: ON DAYS I AM IN THE OFFICE, I'm usually there from 9an-4pm. We have a pet camera in our living room and our dogs do perfectly fine while at work. As soon as I get home we play and go on neighborhood walks or to the dog park. If your dog is house trained and/or crate trained and have no issues being left out or in the crate in a calm environment they can come hang out with Tucker & Skye during the day! ON DAYS THAT I WORK FROM HOME, your dog will get all the attention they could possibly want. Constant play with my dogs and walks throughout the day are guaranteed as we live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood with a ton of walking paths & parks.

When your dog stays with me you can expect: 1. A team of 2 dog sitters for the price of 1! (my fiancé and I) 2. Lots of play with our two dogs (mix & golden retriever) 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. My fiancé and I actually JUST moved to Sterling area from Chantilly, so it will be the two of us watching your pup and you letting us watch your pup will give us time to explore all the walking trails around our house! 2. 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. 3. We have a (small) fenced patio area to play and be outside. They will have plenty of space inside and outside to play with each other, however, since we don't have a HUGE yard like our old place, your dog(s) will join ours on our neighborhood walks. 4. DAY CARE THAT EXCEEDS 9 HOURS will be charged an extra $10 for that day

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
During the summer months, I like to work outside in the sun and sometimes my pups like to sunbath next to me. I like to go on daily walks around the neighborhood for some fresh air as well. 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.
