It takes three!

Pet care experience

My husband, our border collie Reagan, and I would love to take care of your furry family member while you're away! We will make sure he has a marvelous time with all of us! My husband and I grew up on farms in Kentucky and have loved dogs all our lives. Reagan is sweet and smart, but mostly keeps to herself unless your dog wants to engage with her. We have a small fenced yard, and there are lots of walking areas nearby. We would take your dog to the dog park with us around the corner if you like, or we can head over to the nearby park! We do have a cat named George and a young daughter, so it is important that your furry friend be comfortable around both. George mostly keeps to himself, so as long as your dog doesn't chase or bark at him, things should go fine! Why I love dog sitting We've loved dogs our entire lives. We both grew up with dogs and firmly believe that they are a blessing to us! About my yard We do have a small yard! My experience administering medication Yes, we are comfortable administering medication.

Rachel and her family are fantastic. Birdie was welcome and well-cared-for. Pictures throughout her stay kept us feeling confident that she was in good hands and helped us not miss her too much. Thank you, Rachel! We will definitely reach out if we can’t bring Birdie on a trip in the future. This meant a lot to our family.

Rachel was great. Took our dog on nice long walks (on cold days!) and went above and beyond when some things came up. Would definitely book Rachel again.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet

We do not have any breed preferences; as long as there is no history of aggression and our dogs get along together, we shouldn't have a problem! We like to know your dog's routine, what games she likes to play, what really upsets her, where she likes to sleep - so that we can make her stay with us as comfortable as possible. We do have a toddler daughter, so it’s important that your dog be very comfortable with small children.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks There are walking trails nearby, a dog park, and King Street/Old Town is just a few blocks away. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We will discuss this with you, but we're comfortable with your dog sleeping where she is most comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog If we are available to stay with your dog, that means we will devote as much time as possible to being with her. And the fun part is that she'll have Reagan for furry company while she's with us!
