Fantastic experience! Rachel and Nick did an amazing job taking care of my pet and went above and beyond by sending regular updates and great photos. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet care!

We definitely lucked out by stumbling across Rachel + Nick to watch our dog over the fourth of July weekend! They are extremely kind and responsive caregivers. We received lots of communication while we were away-constant updates and pictures. They were a joy to work with and took amazing care of our girl. I would highly recommend them and will be booking them again in the future!

Rachel and Nick were one of the best sitters I’ve ever had! They sent super detailed updates about my pup throughout the day and were very intentional about taking care of him! He looked super happy and enjoyed his stay. I will definitely be rebooking!
