I work from home a few hours a day, so I have plenty of time to play, feed, and go for long walks with any kind of dog. On the weekends I am always flexible and I am usually a home body so if your dog needs attention, I am able to give it as much as it wants !

Safety, trust & environment

I am across from a dog run, and dog park if the owners allow the dog to go. I am surrounded by the mission trails and a lot of grass and greenery that if the dog needs the outdoors frequently I am able to take them out. If your dog loves to lounge and play, I am home all day to give it the attention it needs.

Information Rachel M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or schedule that needs to be adhered too. Any allergies as well! We prefer dogs that are somewhat cleaned or wiped down before hand but are willing to wipe down the dogs as well!

A typical day

If your dog likes the dog run or dog park I am right across the way from one! We can play fetch or simply go for a potty break. We are surrounded by the mission trails so we are able to go for long walks if needed. We love play time and encourage you to bring several different chewing toys so we can also play at home!

I work from home, and love animals!

Pet care experience

I have been an animal lover my whole life and luckily WFH, so I can be with them all day and night! There is a big dog run across from my apartment and I am surrounded by grass and beautiful trails for nice long walks.My partner also works from home and he is second line of support! Your dog will always be walked, played with and cared for ! He will also do the heavy lifting for drop offs and pick ups

Rachel and Max are the best!! We dropped off our dog to stay with them for about a week, which was the longest she’s ever stayed with someone else. It went fantastic!! My dog is in love with them (especially max it sounds like!!) and they treated her like she was their own pet. Rachel and max were willing to do an overnight trial run a few weeks before to get our dog comfortable, and she felt right at home during the longer stay!! Thank you guys!!!

Rachel was awesome! She was super accommodating to my dog’s separation anxiety and my dog had such a great, relaxing time! Rachel even prepared some extra food for my dog when I didn’t leave enough food for her stay <3 Thank you so much!!

Rachel was so wonderful in every way! She was extremely quick and professional with communication, and willing to help out somewhat last minute when a previous sitter had cancelled. Rachel made time for a meet and greet to meet my older anxious pup Fiona. She was very attentive to detail and followed my schedule and instructions with meals and medications. She sent me updates, and was patient when my pup had a tough time getting comfortable one of the nights. Fiona was so calm and content when I picked her up, which is always a good sign that she was well taken care of while I was away. Thank you so much, Rachel for being so kind, gentle and patient with my sensitive girl while I was gone. It means more than you know! If she would consider, we would love to book again in the future.
