I work a hybrid schedule that can be pretty flexible. Since we do not have a fenced-in yard, we go on lots of walks around the neighborhood. We can accommodate for dogs who are unable to walk far and for dogs who need longer walks! Sitter pick-up/drop-off rates subject to change depending on distance & other factors.

Information Rachel L. would like to know about your pet

What do they enjoy doing? Are they potty trained? What is their bathroom schedule like? What are their meals like? Have they been spade/neutered? Where do they sleep? Do they have any allergies? Do they take any medications? Are they up to date on their vaccines (Bordetella, Rabies, and DHPP) and flea/tick meds? Please send us their most updated vaccines. Are there any rules you want them to follow (no jumping, stay off furniture, etc.)? Do we need to look out for anything they might chew on? How are they with other dogs? How do they do at dog parks? Hikes? Are they able to get up and down stairs ok? We live on the 3rd floor. How are they when left alone? Have they stayed with other sitters before? If yes, how was that experience for them? Is there anything else you can think of that would be helpful to make the stay more enjoyable for your dogs??

A typical day

We will try our best to stimulate your pup both physically and mentally (to the best of their ability). We love to play with toys, work on dog puzzles, explore the neighborhood and our nearby park, practice following commands, go on hikes, and visit our friends at the Rock Creek dog park! We would love to know what your dog's favorite activities are! Canine Repiratory Virus: We are asking all families to please take extra precautions with exposure to other dogs. We have stopped going to dog parks due to the high risk. Please look out for these symptoms: Cough Fever Lethargy Intermittent loss of appetite Eye / nose discharge Sneezing If your dog is showing signs, we kindly ask that you let us know immediately. We will do the same! Thank you!!

My milkshake brings all the dogs

Pet care experience

to the yard! 🥤 I live in a home with a 6-year-old yorkipoo, named Pootius Maximus ("Poot" for short) 🐶 and a 35-year-old partner, named Adam 👱🏻‍♂️. We work a hybrid schedule that can be pretty flexible. We love going on walks or hikes, meeting friends at the dog park, and playing fetch. (We're also up for curling up on the couch for dog naps.) We live in a quiet neighborhood with lots of other dog owners, near many dog parks and lots of open spaces. Poot 🐕, Adam 👱🏻‍♂️, and I will do our very best to make your little (or big) floofer feel right at home! 🙌🏽 ❤ New to Rover? Use my code: RACHEL82541 to get $20 off your first booking! We make sure to practice social-distancing during meet-and-greets, drop-offs, and pick-ups. Thank you for supporting our small business, and we hope to hear from you soon! 😊

Rachel is a warm, caring, and wonderful pet sitter. My dog was very happy during her stay, and I could tell she was well cared for. Thank you so much for taking such great care of Sugar!

Rachel took such good care of our lab while we were gone! We always know he’s in good hands when he stays with Rachel. She is attentive, reliable, and a great communicator. Would highly recommend!

I needed to board my pet for a long weekend and Rachel was perfect for my dog. My pet was well attended to and experienced a calm and inviting home along with endless attention.

Rachel is a great and responsible caretaker. My dog was very comfortable during her stay. I received regular updates on her status and Rachel made the whole boarding process extremely convenient and hassle free.
