Private Backyard Doggy Heaven

Pet care experience

Hey! I'm Rachel, I am a huge animal lover! I've been caring for dogs and cats (and sometimes other animals) since a very young age, this includes rescuing from the streets and raising them/ finding them a forever home. I'm a student, therefore I am home a lot during the week, but cannot afford to have a pet of my own. Fortunately, Rover allows me to enjoy these furry beautiful creatures! I treat each pet as if they were my own, give them endless love and attention. I live with my boyfriend Ian, who also works from home so they get double love! We recently moved into a new apartment with a huge private backyard, which the doggies love. And of course, if there are any special needs/instructions I will follow them. Let me know if you have any questions, looking forward to meeting you both! * Puppy rates: puppies require extra care, attention, and supervising. When I accept caring for puppies they will go out on walks every 2-4 hours (depending on how long you think they can and should hold) and additional short pee pee breaks after playing and eating or as needed. They will rarely be left alone in the house and will get at least one long walk to allow them to exert their energy. Please let me know if your puppy has any special needs, anything to look out for, such as behaviors that should be reinforced or stopped. Looking forward to meeting your pup!

The puppies were so well looked after and had a really fun time with Rachel and Ian! I would definitely have them watch the babies again! They kept me informed always as I am an overly cautious person when it comes to my dogs and they really made me feel at ease and I was subsequently able to enjoy my holidays without having to worry about them! Thank you so very much! What’s wonderful couple and wonderful pet sitters!

Rachel and Ian stayed at our apartment for a week to watch our 5-month-old cat. Rachel and Ian are very easy to communicate with and we received some cute photos of the cat who looked happy and relaxed. The apartment was clean when we came back and most importantly, the cat was super happy and healthy. Will definitely book again!

Rachel and Ian were great. Took care of our two little dogs for 2 weeks while we are out of town. Can't recommend enough. They have a nice backyard, so your dogs can pee whenever they want, and Ian is home most of the day, because he works from home. If I ever need someone to take care of my dogs again I will definitely reach out.

A typical day

There is a park about 15 minutes aways which I love taking dogs to, they enjoy the dog park, which is not crowded and pretty big, and for dogs that do not like dog parks for whatever reason, theres a huge grass/bench area they can enjoy sitting at. We also have a huge private backyard they love to play in.
