Pet care experience

Loving pet care you can trust!

I have had family dogs my whole life-dogs of all ages and breeds. I have adopted all my dogs as young puppies, and trained them my own. I also have experience working at a couple doggy daycare/boarding facilities. I absolutely love meeting new pets and seeing the different personalities. Many friends and families have also relied on me to care for their pets. I currently have 2 dogs (Nala and Kimmy), who absolutely LOVE everyone. My favorite thing about pet sitting is getting re-occurring dogs-being able to watch them grow and learn, and how much more comfortable they get each time they come over. ❤️

Rachel was great! She showed great care and attention to my two cats, one of which is special needs. She is a true animal lover!

Rachel took great care of my pup while I was on a work trip. She sent pictures and updates throughout the whole weekend and made sure he was happy and well cared for. He came home tired from playing with her two pups, who he had a blast with. Will definitely book again.

Rachel stayed with my land shark of a puppy for the weekend and was great with him! They had lots of playtime, outside time, walks, and Beau was happy and well cared for so I didn’t have to worry while I was gone. She left the house tidy, maybe tidier than I left it, and she was great about proving updates and pictures and even left a weekend report card on the counter for me. Will definitely use Rachel again in the future for my pet sitting needs.

Rachel was beloved by all of our dogs and cats! She sent us the most adorable photos of our fur babies and kept us up to date while we were gone! We couldn't be happier! Very professional and so attentive to all the little details that go into caring for 3 dogs (2 with daily meds) and 3 inside / outside cats! Thank you Rachel!

Rachel is such a dog lover! She took care of our fur babies while we were away and kept us updated the entire time! They sure looked like they had a good time. Plus she kept our house clean. What a bonus!

Rachel and Tate are amazing! Astro got a lot of play time in and came home a very tired and happy pup! We highly recommend them!
