Boarding, daycare & walking 🐾

Pet care experience

I work a full time, remote job with a flexible schedule. Spending time with dogs is my joy, not my income. I know it can be stressful finding humans worthy of your babies. Whether you need a week-day walker or the occasional boarding host, I would love and protect them.

My dog had a great time with Rachel. I received photos throughout the day. Fantastic sitter. And I will be happy to use Rachel again.

If I could leave Zero stars I would. I am mortified that anyone could ever leave a great review for this sitter! She DID NOT communicate with me at ALL. I got one picture and text her about 30 times, called her about 10 times. Finally got a call back and was told she was napping and didn’t hear her phone! After she received my 30 texts she sent a picture!!! Super super disappointed! I expected more from her! If I could leave pics of how many times I text with no response I would. At one point I even text her that I was getting worried because I hadn’t heard back. If you were sleepy don’t agree to puppy sit!

Rachel was fantastic! She took care of our elderly pup while we were on vacation and we did not have to worry for a moment! She kept us updated and shared many photos ❤️ You can tell she genuinely loves dogs and wants to care for them.

Rachel was great. She kept me informed with daily text messages and videos of Jack. She took great care of him and took him to the park regularly for fun and exercise. I was very happy with her service.

ANXIOUS / NON-CONFIDENT DOGS / PLEASE READ: I live in a complex with many dog owners. There is a 100% chance of coming into close contact with other dogs. If your doggo can't handle interactions well, my complex is risky for them (and me). Your sweet, solo pup will be better served by a caretaker in suburbia, with a fenced yard. FOR DOGS OK WITH OTHER DOGS - I will request any special instructions clients have (things to avoid, etc). I do have training on how to recognize dog communication signals. I practice creating distance and space on walks when possible.

Information Rachel P. would like to know about your pet

For boarding services, I will ask about which flea prevention meds or methods your dog is on. Also, I will ask about their reactions to other dogs while on leash, on loop or on muzzle. I'd like to know what stresses them out. Written feeding instructions are preferred over verbal. Any food aggression to be aware of? Any commands you'd like reinforced.

A typical day

I'll go by your dog's routine. For dogs that need mental stim, there are plenty of games we can play. For tuggers, we can do some structured play.

These prices are for one dog. A booking fee of 11% and taxes will apply.
